New DVD Release

One of our Lecturers, Martin Hall, has written an essay which has been printed the booklet for the BFI’s new release of Tony Richardson’s 1994 film Blue Sky out now.

Uprooting his family after being assigned to a remote testing facility in Alabama, nuclear engineer and dedicated military man Hank Marshall (Tommy Lee Jones,The Fugitive) is faced with a moral dilemma as an opponent of the weapons tests he’s asked to complete. Adding to an already volatile situation is Hank’s wife, Carly (Jessica Lange, in an Oscar®-winning performance) whose erratic behaviour and flirtatious nature increase the strain on their relationship, bringing further unwanted attention.

With a supporting cast including Powers Boothe (Southern Comfort), Carrie Snodgress (Diary of a Mad Housewife) and Chris O’Donnell (Scent of a Woman), Blue Sky would be the last film directed by the great Tony Richardson (Tom Jones).
