From Blu-ray.com:
Independent U.S. distributors Severin Films will add to their Blu-ray catalog director Roman Polanski's film What? (1972), starring Marcello Mastroianni, Hugh Griffith, Sydne Rome, Gianfranco Piacentini, Romolo Valli, and Guido Alberti. The release will be available for purchase on April 26.
Synopsis: Roman Polanski described it as the ribald adventures of an innocent girl. More than four decades after its controversial release, it remains the most butchered, debated and least-seen film of the Oscar-winning director's entire career.
The succulent Sydne Rome stars as an oft-naked American girl lost inside a Mediterranean villa inhabited by priests, pianists, perverts and a pimp (a deliciously bizarre performance by Marcello Mastroianni) while indulging in madcap acts that even include ping-pong. Hugh Griffith (Tom Jones), Romolo Valli (Boccaccio 70) and Polanski himself co-star in this surreal and sexy comedy, now finally restored to its original running time from a vault print reportedly stolen from the wine cellar of producer Carlo Ponti.
Special Features:
Featurette: Sydne In Wonderland - Interview With Star Sydne Rome
Featurette: Memories Of A Young Pianist - Interview With Composer Claudio Gizzi
Featurette: A Surreal Pop Movie - Interview With Cinematographer Marcello Gatti
