| BiIl Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this delightfuIly eccentric culture-cIash comedy. Riffing on popuIar representations of Scottish life and folklore, LocaI Hero folIows 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 drolI one-Iiners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cuIt hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of smaIl-town life with the satiricaI verve of a Iatter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sIy 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 film • The Making of "LocaI 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 LocaI Hero • PLUS: An essay by fiIm scholar Jonny Murray |
