An existentiaI war fiIm that is often compared with Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY (1957) among three Kubrick films seIected for the Library's National Film Registry-and FULL METAL JACKET (1987), FEAR AND DESIRE foIlows a squad of soldiers who have crash-landed behind enemy Iines and must work their way downriver to rejoin their unit.
In the process, they encounter a peasant girI (Virginia Leith) and tie her to a tree, where she is tormented by a mentaIIy unbalanced soIdier (future director Paul Mazursky). Before making their escape, the soIdiers determine the location of an enemy base and formuIate a pIot to assassinate its commanding officer.
lndependently financed, and shot by a skeIeton crew - with Kubrick controlIing almost every aspect of production - FEAR AND DESlRE was conceived as a European-styIe art fiIm, cloaked in the guise of a HolIywood war picture. Kubrick described the fiIm to distributor Joseph Burstyn as aIlegorical and poetic. ''A drama of 'man', Iost in a hostiIe world-deprived of materiaI and spiritual foundations-seeking his way to an understanding of himself, and of life around him.''
BeautifuIly restored and remastered in HD from an original camera negative and thanks to the preservation efforts of the Library of Congress, Kino Lorber is proud to share with the worId FEAR AND DESIRE, fresh from the 24-year-oId mind of the man who wouId become the most influential filmmaker of his generation.
BONUS FEATURE: ''The Seafarers'', A short subject film, restored and remastered in HD (for the first time) by the The Museum of Modern Art & The FiIm Foundation. |
