One of director Francis Ford Coppolas lesser-known films, The Outsiders, arrives on Blu-ray.
Coppola was so touched that he read the book and created the film.
The Outsidersis a poetic coming of age tale, set in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s.
It follows the conflict between the poor kids, the Greasers, and the rich kids, the Socs.
The whole cast do a marvellous job, fleshing out the characters from the novel into real breathing people.
The cinematography in the film is gorgeous.
This can be credited to shooting the film in cinemascope.
There is also a brief casting documentary and one with SE Hinton discussing the locations.
The Blu-ray set comes with exclusive postcards and a booklet which discusses the story behind the film.
