New Rose Hotel Limited Edition Blu-Ray   Radiance Films

Abel Ferrara (Ms .45) directs cyberpunk pioneer William Gibson's neo-noir short story about industrial espionage. Two extraction specialists Fox (Christopher Walken, King of New York) and X (Willem Dafoe, Poor Things) are hired to tempt the genius Hiroshi away from a rival company by using sexy call girl Sandii (Asia Argento, Land of the Dead). Featuring a variety of screens and footage, New Rose Hotel uses these mixed media formats to distance us from Hiroshi as an intractable presence that emphasises the lack of control experienced by Fox and X whilst also presenting a prescient view of our own engagement with screens and digital communications. Misunderstood upon release, Ferrara's feverish film has been reappraised in recent years and compared to David Lynch's exploration of perception and paranoia. Newly restored and making its UK home video debut, New Rose Hotel is one of the finest examples of cyberpunk on film.
