It is the story of a love that defies the ages, a passion capable of crossing time. Christopher Reeve, far from his Superman cape, plays Richard Collier, a playwright lacking inspiration who finds refuge at the Grand Hotel. There he discovers the portrait of Elise McKenna, an actress from the past, magnificently played by Jane Seymour. A deep fascination awakens within him, like a distant melody. An old woman, whisperedt “Come back to me”gives him a pocket watch. It is then that Richard understands: Elise, in the shadow of her last days, calls him through the veils of time.
Somewhere in Time (1980) by Jeannot Szwarc is an ode to romantic love, a hymn to the power of feelings capable of defying the laws of time. In the USA, Kino Lorber has just made official the upcoming release of the film for the first time in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
No precise release date yet but confirmation of a new 4K master (Dolby Vision) taken from a new scan of the original 35mm negatives. Probable release in 2025 for the 45th anniversary of the work.
