Considered a great 'lost masterpiece' of international cinema, Szindbád was chosen by Hungarian writers and filmmakers as one of the three best Hungarian films of all time. Based on the stories of surrealist writer Gyula Krúdy, this iconic film is a lush and sensuous depiction of the life, loves and memories of serial seducer Szindbád (Zoltán Latinovits).

As Szindbád contemplates his life of hedonism and romance, the film powerfully evokes the passage of time and the exploration of memory through extraordinarily beautiful imagery. An erotic elegy, at once lyrical and surreal, Szindbád is a work of intoxicating, almost overwhelming physical beauty – a unique experience unlike any other in modern cinema.

Described by Kino blog as "a poetic Masterpiece ...Huszárik is one of modern Hungarian cinema's greatest visual poets," by Central Europe Review as "A kaleidoscope for the senses ...its evocation of love and landscape gives it an universal appeal" and by Graham Petrie as "One of the most beautiful films ever made," Szindbád will make its DVD debut in the English speaking world on 11th July 2011 courtesy of Second Run at the RRP of £12.99.

Featuring a brand new anamorphic digital transfer with restored picture and sound and new and improved English subtitle translation, the disc will have the following extra features:

• Szindbád: An appreciation – new filmed interview with Peter Strickland (director, Katalin Varga);
• 20-page booklet featuring a new essay by writer and film historian Michael Brooke.
