A vampiric fairy-tale set amongst the starkly beautiful fells of Finnish Lapland, Blomberg combines an almost documentary filming style with avant-garde experimentation to produce a dreamy art-house horror film without compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA newly-married young woman, Pirita (Mirjami Kuosmanen), becomes frustrated and lonely as her husband, a reindeer herder for a small Arctic village, spends much of his time away from home in devotion to his work. Desperate for affection, she visits a shaman who offers a potion that makes her an irresistible object of desire, but there is a terrible cost. Pirita becomes a bloodthirsty shapeshifter who lures men out into the barren wilderness where she consumes them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its portrayals of gender inequality, societal pressures and sexual anxiety (represented through animal transformation, echoes of Jacques Tourneur’s Cat People…), The White Reindeer is a timeless classic that deserves to be rediscovered and recognised as a defining film in the horror and fantasy genres. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film from a new 4K restoration for the first time ever in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 pl-md-5 product-features-column\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-sku=\"EKA70334\" data-display=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a 4K restoration completed in 2017 by the National Audio-visual Institute of Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLPCM audio (original mono presentation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature Length Audio Commentary by critic and film historian Kat Ellinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion, Pleasure, and Punishment: The Portrayal of Witches in Nordic Cinema a new and exclusive video essay by film journalist and writer Amy Simmons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith The Reindeer Erik Blomberg s 1947 documentary short\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Test Footage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1952 Jussi Awards Ceremony featurette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EUREKA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46480021422254,"sku":"EKA70334","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/The-White-Reindeer-Lime-Light-BD.jpg?v=1751295905","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-white-reindeer-masters-of-cinema-blu-ray","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
