{"product_id":"the-devils-bride-blu-ray","title":"The Devil's Bride [Blu-ray]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Devil’s Bride Blu-ray is a wildly surreal Lithuanian rock opera and one of the most singular cult musicals of the 1970s. Directed by Arūnas Žebriūnas, this fully sung-through folkloric fantasy fuses psychedelic rock, pagan myth, and religious satire into something that feels equal parts JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, TOMMY, and THE WICKER MAN.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in a rural village steeped in folklore, the story follows the devil Pinčiukas (Gediminas Girdvainis), who is cast out of Heaven and crash-lands into the life of farmer Baltaragis (Vasilijus Simčičius). In exchange for securing the hand of Baltaragis’ beloved Marcelė (Vaiva Mainelytė), the devil strikes a Faustian bargain that promises him their unborn daughter — setting off a chain of darkly comic, tragic, and deeply mythic consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold entirely through song in the tradition of THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, the film is packed with unforgettable imagery: angels shedding robes for mod-era costumes, devils galloping bareback across fields, ritual objects drawn from Baltic folklore, and dreamlike musical sequences that blur the line between the sacred and the profane. In a striking inversion, Pinčiukas emerges as one of cinema’s most sympathetic devils — condemned to Earth while longing for Heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beloved cult classic in Lithuania and a major rediscovery for fans of experimental musicals and folk horror, The Devil’s Bride has been beautifully restored by the Lithuanian Film Centre and makes its first-ever U.S. appearance on Blu-ray from Deaf Crocodile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirected by: arūnas žebriūnas\u003cbr\u003estarring: vaiva mainelytė, vasilijus simčičius, gediminas girdvainis\u003cbr\u003e1974 \/ 78 min\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanguage: Lithuanian\u003cbr\u003eAudio: stereo\u003cbr\u003eDiscs: 1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deaf Crocodile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123315789894,"sku":null,"price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/8096\/6982\/files\/file_45037ca2-420e-47c1-bcfb-e50ddab14591.jpg?v=1791342702","url":"https:\/\/peakbooks.co\/products\/the-devils-bride-blu-ray","provider":"Peak Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
