Slaughterhouse Five

George Roy Hill directs Michael Sacks in this filmed adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s acclaimed semiautobiographical novel Slaughterhouse Five. A fantastical retelling of the bombing of Dresden, the film jumps back and forth between several different points in the life of Billy Pilgrim, WWII soldier-turned-optometrist-turned-alien zoo attraction. Released to DVD for the second time, the film has yet to receive a proper treatment. This time around, the film is presented in widescreen with Dolby Digital Mono sound. Void of any supplemental materials, the disc is rounded out by English, French, and Spanish subtitles.
