Recently discovered and restored 46 years after its completion, George A. Romero’s 1975 film The Amusement Park stars Lincoln Maazel (seen in Romero’s Martin) as an elderly man who finds himself disoriented and increasingly isolated as the pains, tragedies, and humiliations of aging in America are manifested through roller coasters and chaotic crowds.
Commissioned by the Lutheran Society, the film is an undeniably radical and imaginative creation by zombie overlord Romero–an allegory about the nightmarish realities of growing older, and an alluring snapshot of the filmmaker’s early artistic capacity and style.
The Blu-ray and DVD contain a healthy assortment of bonus features, including the following:
- Audio Commentary with Michael Gornick
- Re-Opening The “Park” with Suzanne Desrocher-Romero
- Bill & Bonnie’s Excellent Adventure with Bonnie Hinzman
- For Your Amusement with Artist Ryan Carr
