Product Description

Product Description

Flirting with the conventions of blaxploitation and the horror cinema, Bill Gunn s revolutionary independent film Ganja & Hess is a highly stylized and utterly original treatise on sex, religion, and African American identity. Later recut and released in an inferior version, this edition represents the original release, restored by The Museum of Modern Art with support from The Film Foundation, and mastered in HD from a 35mm negative.

Duane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) stars as anthropologist Hess Green, who is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant (director Bill Gunn), endowing him with the blessing of immortality, and the curse of an unquenchable thirst for blood. When the assistant s beautiful and outspoken wife Ganja (Marlene Clark) comes searching for her vanished husband, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership. Together, they explore just how much power there is in the blood.

SPECIAL DUAL FORMAT (BLU-RAY + DVD) EDITION:

  • Brand new 1080p high-definition transfer
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • Feature-length commentary with producer Chiz Schultz, lead actress Marlene Clark, cinematogropher James Hinton and composer Sam Waymon
  • Select scene commentary with historian David Kalat
  • The Blood of the Thing: film historian David Kalat leads an interview-based documentary about the film
  • Gunn's original screenplay available via DVD-Rom and BD-Rom
  • Reversible Sleeve
  • 24-page booklet featuring a new essay by critic and author Kim Newman and a vintage letter written by Gunn to the New York Times, illustrated with archival images

Review

One of the most literate, allegorical, and evasive of all horror films --David Walker & Tim Lucas, Video Watchdog

Ganja & Hess is strange, fascinating, horrifying and beautiful all at the same time --DVD Talk

A film that was ahead of its time when it was released in 1973, and, quite frankly, is still very much so today --Indiewire

Trippy blaxploitation/horror/religious/thriller/mind f##k! This is a weird but hypnotic low budget 70's film with great off kilter visuals and great soulful/African moody soundtrack. The blu ray quality is not very good even though it has been restored but this almost adds to the low budget grimey look. The blu ray package from Eureka is excellent as usual.

The biggest piece of rubbish I have ever watched.
I have many films release by Eureka/The Masters of Cinema and this for me is the worst of there titles and a stain on what so far has been a good catalogue.
