New Arrival Invincible (Region B)

(Werner Herzog, 2001)
Release date: 20 May 2024
Standard Edition Blu-ray

Invinciblewas the first dramatic work by Werner Herzog in a decade. He assembled a typically eclectic cast including Tim Roth (Meantime), Udo Kier (Expos) and two-time Worlds Strongest Man Jouko Ahola and combined the lives of three equally eclectic real-life figures Jewish strongman Zishe Breitbart, Austrian clairvoyant Erik Jan Hanussen, and German chief of police Count Wolf-Heinrich von Helldorff to blend fact and fiction in his typically idiosyncratic way. This Indicator Blu-ray edition presents the film in a new 2K restoration with both its English and German soundtracks.
