To Live and Die in L.A.

A FEDERAL AGENT IS DEAD. A
KILLER IS LOOSE. AND THE CITY OF
ANGELS IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.
On Dual Format from Monday 21st Nov. 2016.
In the seventies William Friedkin made The French Connection, The Exorcist and
Sorcerer. In the eighties he equalled them with To Live and Die in L.A., one of the
most stylish thrillers the decade had to offer.

When his partner is murdered just days before retirement, Secret Service Agent
Richard Chance (William Petersen, Manhunter) begins an obsessive hunt for his
killer – counterfeiter and all-round psychopath Eric Masters, played by Willem
Dafoe at his villainous prime.

Beautifully shot by Robby Muller (Repo Man, Paris, Texas) and with a driving score
with British new wave act Wang Chung, To Live and Die in L.A. looks and sounds
exceptional in this brand-new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative.
