Art & HueThe Wicker Man 50th
Happy 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man!
“The Wicker Man” is a classic horror that has been captivating audiences for 50 years.
The 6th of December 1973 marked a momentous occasion in the world of cinema. It was on that day, precisely 50 years ago, that the cult classic film, The Wicker Man, opened to the public at the Metropole cinema in London as the supporting title to the main feature “Don’t Look Now“.
Whilst “Don’t Look Now” was critically lauded at the time, not many suspected that these eerie and enigmatic films would go on to become two of the most beloved and enduring cult films of all time.
To mark this significant milestone, a 4k restoration of the film has been released on UHD Blu-ray, and Art & Hue has added new prints to “The Wicker Man” pop art collection.
Directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt & Diane Cilento, The Wicker Man tells the haunting tale of Sergeant Neil Howie’s investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a young girl on a remote Scottish island. As Howie delves deeper into the island’s strange and pagan rituals, he finds himself entangled in a web of secrets, leading to a chilling and unforgettable climax.
“Don’t Look Now” continues to be appreciated as a masterpiece of filmmaking and a defining moment in horror films. Masterfully blending psychological horror with elements of the supernatural, “Don’t Look Now” is widely regarded as a groundbreaking work with its innovative editing and cinematography.
Anthony B. Richmond won the Best Cinematography BAFTA for his work on “Don’t Look Now” and the film’s thematic visuals and innovative use of colour, contrasting the pigeon-grey tones of wintery Venice with flashes of foreboding red, are an integral part of the story’s symbolism and mystery.
The haunting presence of the daughter, Christine, takes center stage, clad in her unmistakable red raincoat, against the backdrop of the city of Venice.
Capturing the eerie atmosphere of the film, Art & Hue’s alternative movie poster for “Don’t Look Now” foreshadows the final scene with the two unnerving sisters, who play a crucial role in the film’s mysterious narrative, and Julie Christie.
