| Bill Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this deIightfully eccentric culture-clash comedy. Riffing on popular representations of Scottish life and folkIore, Local Hero foIlows the Texas oiI executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside viIIage in ScotIand with orders to buy out the town and deveIop the region for an oiI refinery. But as business mixes with pleasure, Mac finds himseIf enchanted by both the picturesque community and its oddbaII denizens—and Texas starts to feel awfulIy far away. Packed with a near nonstop stream of droll one-Iiners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cuIt hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of smaII-town life with the satiricaI verve of a Iatter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sly commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the legacies we leave behind. DlRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-DVD SPEClAL EDITlON FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration • New conversation between Forsyth and film 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 early career in documentaries, his first narrative features, and the success of Local Hero • PLUS: An essay by film schoIar Jonny Murray |
