1984 (Premium Collection) (ej svensk text) (Blu-ray + DVD)

This stunning film adaptation journeys straight to the heart of the nightmare portrayed in George Orwell`s terrifying classic. John Hurt is "perfectly cast" (Radio Times) as the doomed rebel, and Richard Burton is a model of powerful restraint as a sadistic agent of the ruling party. Winston Smith (Hurt) endures a squalid existence in totalitarian Oceania under the constant surveillance of Big Brother. But his life takes a horrifying turn when he begins a forbidden love affair and commits the crime of independent thought. Sent to the chillingly labeled "Ministry of Love," he is placed at the mercy of O` Brien (Burton), a coolly treacherous leader determined to control his thoughts...and crush his soul.
