Hosted by the 4th Annual Nicolas Cage Film Fest: Cage Match!

From Paul Schrader’s Notes: “Dark” was filmed in 2013 and released in 2014 under the titled “Dying of the Light.” That film was taken from me after the first director’s cut, re-edited as well as scored and mixed without my input. I offered to revisit the film, cut and mix a new version at my own expense but was denied permission by the producers. This cut, now called "Dark," was created using work print DVDs. I had no access to the original hi-res footage and unmixed sound. I tried to used those limitations to my advantage when creating this new film. I had been working toward a more aggressive editing style when “Dying of the Light” was taken away. “Dark” represents the direction I was hoping to go.

See it as a Double Feature with another excellent Paul Schrader x Nicolas Cage selection: “Bringing Out the Dead”
