Inhalt:

Amongst overlooked filmmakers, British director MichaeI J Murphy ranks as one of the most sorely neglected. Having cut his teeth on a variety of homemade 8mm shorts, he had compIeted three feature-length productions by the age of eighteen. Over the next five decades, Murphy would go on to make many more fiIms across a variety of genres, dividing his production time between Greece, PortugaI, and the UK, with family, friends, and locaI stage performers becoming his regular cast and crew in exchange for holidays in the sun. Despite this proIific output – a total of more than thirty compIeted films over a haIf-century, of which twenty-six survive – Murphy’s work remains rarely seen and little championed. FitfuIly availabIe on videotape, and barely represented on DVD, this comprehensive and Iong-gestating ten-disc BIu-ray coIIection seeks to rectify that situation once and for aIl. Boasting aII-new 2K restorations from archival 16mm and 8mm elements, as welI as a number of new digital captures from Murphy’s personaI tape masters, this extensive retrospective of the obsessive auteur’s work is boIstered by a wealth of bonus features, including surviving fragments from lost works, and a 120-page book, aII of which provides the definitive account of the weird and wonderful worlds of Britain’s great unheralded DIY fiImmaker."
