The Sound of Music is getting a remastered cinema release

April 24, 2018 - Staff@seenituk

Park Circus is re-releasing Robert Wise’s iconic motion picture musical The Sound of Music with selected cinemas screening a new 70mm print and a wider release of a 4K Digital restoration.

This new 70mm print is made from the original camera negative and will be presented with DTS sound. The 4K Digital version comes from an 8K scan restored and presented in 4K.

Winning 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Robert Wise and featuring the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein, the film is genuine cinematic classic.

Maria, free-willed and deeply connected with the beautiful Alpine landscape of her youth, is a conflicted postulant, debating whether or not she should give her life over to serving in Nonnberg Abbey.

Her Mother Superior suggests that Maria should come to a decision after experiencing more of life outside the Abbey, and sends Maria to act as a governess to the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp, an Austrian naval officer and a widower.

Maria arrives at the von Trapp villa to discover she’s merely the latest in a long line of governesses the children have scared away. But, with her love of life, music and dance, she quickly wins them over, and is welcomed into the family.

The von Trapp’s delicate happiness is threatened, however, by a burgeoning romance between Maria and the soon to be married Captain, and the rise of the Third Reich in Austria that may see the Captain forced to accept a position in the German Navy.

The Sound of Music will screen at the BFI in 70mm from May 18th before expanding to wider release throughout the UK and internationally.
