To grow, it must burn!
Working in a suspicious investment firm, Craig Blake has to deal with buying a small gym. He meets Joe Santo who prepares his training for the title of Mister Universe and falls in love with his friend, Marie-Tate...
Adapted from Charles Gaines' eponymous book, this sadly forgotten tragi-comédia is a pure product of the 70s whose apparent lightness condemns the ferocity of capitalism as well as the disdain of the bourgeoisie of the southern states (we are in Birmingham in Alabama). Imperfect (confounding and editing, caricatural characters) but escaping freedom (similar to its protagonists interpreted by the clothesman)Jeff Bridges, the sparklingSally Fieldand the mysteriousArnold Schwarzenegger), this radiography of a certain American youth supposedly inappropriate is a singular work very pleasant to (re)discover.
« - Craig? - Yes, Uncle Albert? - What happened to body builders when they get old? - They die. »
IMAGE - Between two worlds
Coming from a remaster HD (and unfortunately not from a restoration) certainly uneven but far from being bad, this transfer 1080p takes care of the vintage photography ofVictor J. Kemper (Audrey Rose, Nimitz) despite some imperfections.
It happens that the copy has not been perfectly cleaned (white dots and scratches of this one), that the definition weakens in places (but does not seem too soft) and that some blacks are slightly crushed, but apart from that, not a single trace of digital manipulation on the horizon.
The encoding is impeccable, the images are pleasantly stable, the silver texture is displayed in all its density, the piqué which is globally precise unfolds beautiful fine details and the retro colorimetric palette is quite healthy.
SOUND - The weight of the worries is weight building 🎶
Even though remastered a long time ago, this monophonic soundtrack encoded in DTS-HD MA dual mono does not suffer from any acoustic imperfection (no breath or distortion) and returns very faithfully the sounds necessarily dated from the original mixing.
The dynamics are more than decent, the dialogues are well detached, the music is projecting properly and the noises are in no way narrowed. For a track of this format, the result is rather large and has a noticeable opening.
Due to a printing concern, the jacket mentions a VF missing from the disc. Nevertheless, this release addressed to passionate cinemaphiles and collectors, the VO with non-taxed subtitles imposed itself.
CONCLUSION - Become who you are!
Carefully developed by the brand new editorBubbel Pop*, this superb limited print mediabook containing Blu-ray (deserving A/V performances), DVD and a book of 100 pages (Living Dangerouslyby Christophe Chavdia) to know all about the genesis of the film, puts a spotlight on this unusual dramatic comedy typical of theNew Hollywoodhaving revealed the « Austrian oak » (rewarded in 1977 from the Golden Globe of the Year's Men's Revelation).
In addition, almost 80 minutes of video bonuses were created specifically for this edition, namely:Joanna CassidyRemembersStay Hungry(12 min),Alpha womanby Joanna Cassidy (6 min),Arnold becomes Schwarzyby Samuel Blumenfeld (16 min) andThe end of the new Hollywoodby Jean-Baptiste Thoret (42 min).
* BUBBELCOMIt was originally a communication agency founded by Rania Griffete and Stéphane Chevalier. Passionate about pop entertainment and their experience withRimini Editions(they contribute to the content of many editions), they decide to start their own adventure, and to create their own DVD/Blu-Ray publisher label:Bubbel Pop.
The concept: to re-edit cult and pop films from the 70s / 80s in prestigious collector editions including quality packaging, goodies such as booklets, postcards, but also exclusive video supplements made by their own care. To offer the most complete editions possible, they do not hesitate to fly to Los Angeles, to interview actors and directors of the films.
