Babylon coming to Prime Video in Italy!
The 1985 feature film Legend of the Gold of Babylon is coming to digital streaming platform Prime Video in Italy on September 13th, 2021.
This latest addition to the service marks one of many digital Lupin III series uploads in Italy this year - with Part III, Part 4, Part 5 and Fujiko Mine all currently available (check our release page for links to each).
The film is set to include Italian language audio, and option for both SD or 1080p HD video quality.
Directed by Seijun Suzuki and Shigetsugu Yoshida, this classic Lupin film is a tonne of fun - with gorgeous visuals, goofy humour, an out-of-this-world narrative and a catchy 80’s pop soundtrack.
Before you decide to check it out, though, please note that there are racist caricatures of people of African American descent toward the start of the film. While considered “of the time”, it is both inexcusable and wrong.
It is impossible to look back on the film favourably without mentioning it - please be warned.
