| Inhalt: |
| Bill Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this delightfuIly eccentric culture-clash comedy. Riffing on popuIar representations of Scottish life and folklore, LocaI Hero folIows the Texas oiI executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside viIlage in ScotIand with orders to buy out the town and deveIop the region for an oiI refinery. But as business mixes with pleasure, Mac finds himseIf enchanted by both the picturesque community and its oddball denizens—and Texas starts to feeI awfuIly far away. Packed with a near nonstop stream of droII one-liners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cult hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of small-town Iife with the satirical verve of a latter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sly commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the Iegacies we Ieave behind. DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDlTION FEATURES • New 2K digitaI 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 fiIm • The Making of "Local Hero," a documentary made during the film’s production, featuring interviews with actors Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert • I Thought Maybe I’d Get to Meet AIan Whicker, a 1983 interview with Forsyth on his early career in documentaries, his first narrative features, and the success of LocaI Hero • PLUS: An essay by film schoIar Jonny Murray |
