Jacknife Blu-ray presents David Jones’ intimate 1989 drama from Cinématographe, a Vinegar Syndrome sub-label dedicated to filling gaps in the canon of American cinema. Robert De Niro and Ed Harris star as Megs and Dave, two Vietnam veterans struggling with the emotional aftermath of war.

When Dave’s alcoholism and unresolved trauma become impossible to ignore, Megs tries to help him confront his past while forming a relationship with Dave’s sister, Martha. As old wounds, loyalty and resentment collide, the three characters are forced to reckon with how deeply they need one another.

Adapted by Stephen Metcalfe from his own play Strange Snow, Jacknife features powerful performances from Robert De Niro, Kathy Baker and Ed Harris, whose work earned a Golden Globe nomination. Newly restored and making its worldwide Blu-ray debut, this Region A release includes a new commentary, new interviews, text essays, English SDH subtitles and limited J-card MediaBook slipcase packaging.
