ADDITION: Kino Blu-ray (September 2021): Kino have transferred Peter Brook's Seven Days... Seven Nights to Blu-ray. It looks gorgeous on a dual-layered disc with a max'ed out bitrate. The 2.35:1 frame is filled with healthy grain. There are beautiful landscapes used in Seven Days... Seven Nights. The black and white 1080P is exported in a very film-like fashion. The HD presentation fabulous - clean and consistent.

On their Blu-ray, Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the original French language. There are no dominant audio effects used. Seven Days... Seven Nights repeatedly utilizes the music of Antonio Diabelli including Sonatine nº 8 - Andantino, Sonatine en fa majeur nº 1 and Sonatine en sol majeur nº 6 all performed by Marie-Antoinette Pictet. It sounds brilliant - supporting the film deft movement wonderfully in the lossless transfer. Kino offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' Blu-ray.

The Kino Blu-ray offers a new commentary by filmmaker Daniel Kremer. This is excellent - he looks at the film world, cinema schools and movements at the time of Seven Days... Seven Nights. He brings up Losey, Bresson, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Alain Resnais, Visconti, Tony Richardson - he mentions the potential casting of Richard Burton in the film, he discusses Jeanne Moreau, Belmondo, director Peter Brook (extensively in the second half), Marguerite Duras and much more. He states that Seven Days... Seven Nights was an influence on his own film Overwhelm the Sky adapted from the Charles Brockden Brown novel; "Edgar Huntly, or Memoirs of a Sleepwalker". I was very impressed with this commentary - Kremer is quite brilliant. It extends beyond an academic look at the film and he covers and immense amount of ground. One of my favorite commentaries of the year, to date. There are also trailers but none for Seven Days... Seven Nights.

Peter Brook's Seven Days... Seven Nights is a film of subtleties and emotional whispers. I relished its mysteries in my first viewing and thoroughly enjoyed the illuminating Daniel Kremer commentary in my subsequent exposure. What an impressive package - thanks to Kino for this valuable Blu-ray. The nuanced film (Losey-an as Kremer comments), desirable a/v and excellent commentary give this a very strong recommendation! Wow.
