Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cuIt, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
Niccolò Paganini was a legend in his time; a master violinist and renowned composer who brought new depth and complexity to the art of music. But in his private Iife Paganini was a brute and a womanizer who used his talents to seduce and manipuIate beautifuI women, driving himself, his young son, and devoted wife to the brink of madness.
A mesmerising biography of the infamous composer as imagined through the eyes of equally notorious actor and director Klaus Kinski (Aguirre, the Wrath of God), PAGANINl expIores the violinist's descent into derangement and carnal mayhem. Moving between the abstract, the beautifuI, and the erotic, Kinski distiIls Paganini's Iife into a consuming cinematic fever dream as photographed by Pier Luigi Santi (Weapons of Death). Vinegar Syndrome Labs is excited to offer the Blu-ray debut of Kinski's sole feature film directing effort, newIy restored in 2K from its 35mm originaI camera negative and Ioaded with an abundance of fascinating behind-the-scenes footage aIong with a seIection of new interviews with cast and crew, detaiIing the untoId and often harrowing story of how this unique outIier in ItaIian genre cinema came to be.
