Reviled on its release in 1974, Sam Peckinpah’s (The Wild Bunch) nihilistic yet poetic action-accented crime drama Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is today considered to be a masterwork (and cult fave) of the filmmaker, as well as its leading man, Warren Oates (Badlands).

Oates portrays Bennie, a wastrel sometime piano player lost in the wilds of Mexico. He and his beautiful, tragic lover Elita (Isela Vega) stumble across one last, perilous chance at happiness: in order to claim more money than they’ve ever dreamed of, all they have to do is retrieve the head of a wanted man. But the path to their ultimate escape is littered with dangers—some, of course, of the fatal variety.

Mastered in HD, the DVD’s special features include an audio commentary with film historians Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons, David Weddle, and Nick Redman.

A Blu-ray edition of Alfred Garcia is available through Twilight Time.
