{"product_id":"sirius-blu-ray","title":"Sirius [Blu-ray]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSirius Blu-ray marks a remarkable rediscovery of Hungarian cinema, presenting Ákos D. Hamza’s 1942 romantic time-travel fantasy newly restored and released on Blu-ray in the U.S. for the first time. Long considered a lost or forgotten work, the film emerges as an unexpectedly tender and imaginative precursor to later genre classics, blending period romance with speculative fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet during the 1940s, a brash Hungarian playboy agrees to an experiment that sends him two hundred years into the past, landing him in the powdered wigs and courtly excess of the mid-18th century. There, he falls deeply in love with a struggling opera singer while antagonizing the aristocracy around him — including his own great-grandfather. With dawn approaching, he must decide whether to return to his own time or risk losing both his future and the woman he loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the film is Katalin Karády, one of Hungary’s great screen and musical icons, whose real-life history adds profound weight to her performance. Beautifully shot in black-and-white and restored from the original 35mm nitrate negative by Hungary’s National Film Institute, Sirius stands as a poignant blend of romance, fantasy, and cultural history. Deaf Crocodile presents this restoration with a suite of contextual extras that explore the film’s production, preservation, and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirected by: ákos d. hamza\u003cbr\u003estarring: lászló szilassy, katalin karády\u003cbr\u003e1942 \/ 105 min\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanguage: Hungarian\u003cbr\u003eAudio: Stereo\u003cbr\u003eSubtitles: English\u003cbr\u003eDiscs: 1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deaf Crocodile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123316314182,"sku":null,"price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/8096\/6982\/files\/file_f348a4ea-1c6d-4917-b769-5278da3c3e7e.jpg?v=1791342716","url":"https:\/\/peakbooks.co\/products\/sirius-blu-ray","provider":"Peak Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
