Kamikaze '89 Blu-ray

Luc Besson, known for films like La Femme Nikita, Léon: The Professional, and The Fifth Element, co-writes and produces the sci-fi/comedy/thriller Kamikaze. The film introduces viewers to Albert, played by Michel Galabru (Subway), an old, eccentric, and unemployed man who is a computer genius. Albert decides to take matters into his own hands by eliminating the TV announcers he despises most, using his computer skills to kill them live on air from his own home. As the police struggle to understand the motives behind these mysterious crimes, Inspector Romain Pascot, played by Richard Bohringer (The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover), makes it his mission to track down the elusive culprit.

Kamikaze, a cult classic from the 80s, captivates audiences with its visually stunning widescreen cinematography by Jean-François Robin (L’Amour Braque) and dynamic musical score by composer Éric Serra (GoldenEye). The film offers a satirical take on the passivity of couch-potato culture, challenging viewers to reconsider their relationship with television.
