Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz on Limited Edition Blu-ray in November

30 August 2018

Eureka Entertainment are to release The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese’s legendary rock documentary featuring some of the world’s greatest musicians, on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK as a part of The Masters of Cinemas Series from 12 November 2018, presented with a Limited Edition Hardbound Case and a 100-page perfect bound collector’s book [3000 copies only].

Perhaps the greatest rock documentary ever made, Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz captures what was advertised as legendary rock group The Band’s final farewell concert appearance. Joined on stage by more than a dozen specialx2 guests, including Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Muddy Waters and Joni Mitchell, The Last Waltz started as a concert, but it became a celebration.

Interspersed with candid discussions between director Scorsese and members of The Band, The Last Waltz has been called “the greatest rock concert movie ever made - and maybe the best rock movie, period”, and The Masters of Cinema Series is presenting this iconic documentary on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. And remember, “This film should be played loud!”
