Martyrs [4K UHD Blu-ray]

The rare film with a reputation that speaks for itself, Martyrs is perhaps the defining film of the New French Extremity movement and director Pascal Laugier’s masterpiece. Horrifying and thought-provoking in equal measure, it is a deeply philosophical and challenging work of extreme cinema – and undoubtedly one of the finest horror films produced in the twenty-first century.

In 1971, a young Lucie Jurin escapes from a slaughterhouse where she was subjected to unspeakable torture. Placed in an orphanage, she forms a strong bond with Anna, who tries to help her recover from her trauma. Fifteen years later, an adult Lucie breaks into the isolated home of the Belford family, believing they were involved in her childhood abuse. When Anna receives a call from Lucie, she rushes to her aid, only to experience things beyond human comprehension within the Belfond house.

Featuring heartbreaking performances by its two female leads and truly shocking imagery, Martyrs has emerged as one of the truly great works of extreme cinema. The Masters of Cinema Series proudly presents the film on 4K UHD, accompanied by a wealth of new and archival extras.
