Vigil
Arrow FilmsVincent Ward – once described as the Antipodean Werner Herzog – made his feature debut with Vigil, heralding his status as one of New Zealand's most distinctive filmmaking talents and paving the way for such equally remarkable and unclassifiable efforts as The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey and Map of the Human Heart. A stranger appears in a remote New Zealand farmland at the exact time a farmer accidentally falls to his death. The mysterious outsider grows close to some of the dead man's family, to the point where he and the widow become lovers. But her eleven-year-old daughter, Toss, struggling to come to terms with the death of her father as well as her impending womanhood, believes the intruder to be the devil and sets about protecting her family and their homestead. Propelled by Fiona Kay's outstanding performance by as Toss, she would earn a standing ovation when Vigil screened at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival – the first time ever that a New Zealand feature played in the main competition.Special FeaturesHigh Definition (Blu-ray) presentationOriginal mono audio (uncompressed LPCM)Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearingBrand-new appreciation by film critic Nick Roddick, recorded exclusively for this releaseOn-set report from the long-running New Zealand television programme Country CalendarExtract from a 1987 Kaleidoscope television documentary on New Zealand cinema, focusing on Vigil and Vincent WardTheatrical trailer
