Released 44 years ago, this fabulous nugget of black humor was unjustly forgotten with the Arabian Lawrence actor

Filmmaker Richard Rush, whose name does not speak to many people, reminds us first of all the awkward Nanard Color Night, the Eroti-Psychological Thriller, which in 1994, which was very roughly trying to succeed in the basic instinct of two years ago.

Bruce Willis and actress Jane March, who showed her role in Jean-Jacques Anudy’s girlfriend, was a film by an artistic-financial disaster that completely sealed the actor’s career, failed to recover.

A pure nugbar that has become invisible

It would be unfair to reduce Richard Rushi to this artistic accident. A filmmaker who died in 2021 was a wonderful movie artisan published in 1981: the devil in the box. The film is as rare as it is valuable elsewhere. Among the fairly venered filmmakers, he has never had a broadcast on TV or published with us on DVD. And even less Blu-ray; Except for importing to the United States …

The devil in the box is the story of Cameron (Steve Relsbek), a Vietnam veteran who is actively looking for the police. Finding a shelter for director Eli Jvari film, he becomes involved, with the latter’s participation in his shooting team. Eli forces him to take more and more risks in action scenes. In fact, Cameron is now convinced that he wants to shoot his death …

Here is a trailer.

Serial disasters

The movie gestation was a big pain. Between the birth and liberation of his concept, Richard Rush took ten years to give birth to his case, which he initially refused. And during this period two heart attacks. It took only seven years to finance it. He wrote his scenario in 1970 and did not start shooting until 1977 to complete its subsequent production in 1979.

But he was not at the end of his misery. The film has experienced huge distribution problems that have to be made of 20th century foxes. The film was released only in eleven rooms in the United States … he fought for members of the Oscar Academy because the only cinema that was likely to be permanently closed because of the technical seeds. That is, if the fate was brutal about him.

The devil was quoted in the box three times: the best director for Richard Rush, Peter O’Thul’s best actor and the best suitable scenario. Without counting his six nominations, in the Golden Globe, where he will still win the best music for the Dominic Front.

With such distribution problems, not only in the United States, the film was released in international cash registers with more than $ 7 million. The failure was so devastating for Richard Rush that he would not return to realization 14 years later … in the color of the night, mentioned above. It’s still very unhappy.

EventuallyWe are starting to address the tribulation of the video editor’s charity, who wants to revise the cradle of this slightly cursed work and to treat it very unjustly.
