Of all of Sartre’s plays, this was the most discussed and opposed because of its political content, the problems raised, the instrumentalization of which it was the object. The story told, although transposed into a fictitious world, is inspired by the assassination of Leon Trotsky by his secretary Ramón Mercader, a Stalinist agent.

This is a composite version that I made recently, combining 2 sources, most of the series is taken from this upload (many thanks to flemishdog for posting it), I trimmed the commercials and did some slight tweaks in colors, brightness and contrast levels, the Australian airing was missing the last 8 minutes or so so to fill the missing minutes at the end I used a copy from the UK TV airing that while it had higher quality image the sound was worse, you’ll notice quality change 2:16:48. Alternatively, and if the quality maybe is a bit too rough for you, you can download a higher quality although cropped and edited version that was released on DVD in the UK from here.

CLOUDS OF GLORY (1978) https://rarefilm.torrentbay.st/2023/12/clouds-of-glory-1978/ https://rarefilm.torrentbay.st/2023/12/clouds-of-glory-1978/#comments Mon, 25 Dec 2023 06:04:18 +0000 https://rarefilm.torrentbay.st/?p=29059 Between 1798 and 1812, the wild, romantic country of the English Lake District saw an intense concentrated flowering of literary genius. At its centre was the poet William Wordsworth, born in the region, who lived there almost all his life with his beloved sister Dorothy. Around him, as the genius of the age, gathered other poets and writers – Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas de Quincey. This idiosyncratic two-part mini-series, conceived by acclaimed director Ken Russell, concentrates on the relationship between William and Dorothy, and the battle with laudanum faced by Coleridge.

Note: I’m labelling this one as “HD” since it is in HD resolution but this is actually an upscaled copy using AI video enhancing software applied on a low resolution TVRip so not a true HD copy and even though it’s not perfect it does look better than the source TVRip uploaded over 6 years ago. All credits go to kozaburoy @KG for creating this much better looking rip as well as for making the English and French subtitles from scratch, an amazing and very commendable effort.
