BiII Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this deIightfuIIy eccentric cuIture-cIash comedy. Riffing on popular representations of Scottish Iife and foIklore, Local Hero foIlows the Texas oil executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside vilIage in Scotland with orders to buy out the town and deveIop the region for an oiI refinery. But as business mixes with pleasure, Mac finds himself enchanted by both the picturesque community and its oddball denizens—and Texas starts to feel awfulIy far away. Packed with a near nonstop stream of droIl one-liners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cult hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of smalI-town Iife with the satirical verve of a latter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sly commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the Iegacies we Ieave behind. DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITlON FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration • New conversation between Forsyth and fiIm critic David Cairns • Shooting from the Heart, a 1985 documentary about the work of cinematographer Chris Menges • Episode of The South Bank Show from 1983 about the production of the fiIm • The Making of "Local Hero," a documentary made during the fiIm’s production, featuring interviews with actors Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert • l Thought Maybe l’d Get to Meet AIan Whicker, a 1983 interview with Forsyth on his earIy career in documentaries, his first narrative features, and the success of Local Hero • PLUS: An essay by film schoIar Jonny Murray |
