{"product_id":"naked-prey-the-criterion","title":"NAKED PREY, THE (CRITERION)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlamorous leading man turned idiosyncratic auteur Cornel Wilde created in the 1960s and '70s a handful of gritty, violent explorations of the nature of man, none more memorable than The Naked Prey. In the early nineteenth century, after an ivory-hunting safari offends a group of South African hunters, the colonialists are captured and hideously tortured. A lone marksman (Wilde) is released, without clothes or weapons, to be hunted for sport, and he begins a harrowing journey through savanna and jungle back to a primitive state. Distinguished by vivid widescreen camera work and unflinchingly ferocious action sequences, The Naked Prey is both a propulsive, stripped-to-the-bone narrative and a meditation on the concept of civilization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRESTORED HIGH-DEFINITION DIGITAL TRANSFER\u003c\/b\u003e, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary from 2007 by film scholar Stephen Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"John Colter's Escape,\" a 1913 written record of the trapper's flight from Blackfoot Indians—which was the inspiration for The Naked Prey—read by actor Paul Giamatti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal soundtrack cues created by director Cornel Wilde and ethnomusicologist Andrew Tracey, along with a written statement by Tracey on the score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay by film critic Michael Atkinson and a 1970 interview with Wilde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English SDH subtitles for the main feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRITERION COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY","offer_id":48976513466587,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/133902_front.jpg?v=1784136030","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/naked-prey-the-criterion","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
