The opinions I share are my own.

PLOT SYNOPSIS


Michel Galabru is Albert. He’s old, bored, batty and unemployed…but brilliant with computers. Albert embarks on a mission to get rid of the people he hates most—the televised kind—and invents a way to kill TV announcers, on air, from the comfort of his own home. Police are baffled, but Richard Bushranger as Inspector Romain Pascot dedicates himself to the chase.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2¾/5


This release does come with a matted slip cover. Features include an Audio Commentary by Film Historian Eddy Von Mueller, an Interview with Director Didier Grousset, Objectif Kamikaze documentary and lastly the Theatrical Trailer.

 

 

VIDEO – 4¾/5


Kino Lorber releases Kamikaze onto Blu-ray presented in the original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Detail on this is sharp throughout and colors well balanced with brightness in some scenes while black levels in others are stark without appearing crushed.

AUDIO – 3¾/5


The disc has a French language DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which provides for clear dialogue coming from the center channel and a good amount of depth making up the front and rear speakers quite evenly between them.
