Die Blu-Ray wurde als High-Definition-Nachfolger der DVD entwickelt und bietet ihrem Vorläufer gegenüber eine erheblich gesteigerte Datenrate und Speicherkapazität. Auf Blu-Rays können daher Filme mit deutlich besserer Auflösung gespeichert werden und bieten auf entsprechenden Bildschirmen eine enorm hohe Bildqualität. Blu-Ray-Player sind in der Regel abwärtskompatibel zu DVDs, so dass auch diese abgespielt werden können.

- Deutscher Titel: Ist dieser Mann nicht himmlisch?
Tom Conti and Helen Mirren star in Scottish writer / director Charles Gormley’s (Long Shot) charming and quirky comic drama.
Vic Mathews (Conti) and Ruth Chancellor (Mirren) are teachers at Glasgow’s Blessed Edith Semple School. When the school authorities decide to pursue full canonization of their namesake, little miracles begin to occur and Vic has to reassess his beliefs.
Featuring top drawer performances from Conti and Mirren, Heavenly Pursuits also contains Ewen Bremner’s first ever screen appearance and a score by Scottish pop star turned composer BA Robertson. This slice of 1980s Scottish cinema is sure to appeal to fans of Bill Forsyth’s Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero.
Extras

The Mirocle (1976, 13 mins): a man attempts to escape from the prison of egotism by adopting various self-projections, but all fail until a mirror appears, inviting him to look within himself. This experimental, neo-surrealist animated film is influenced by the work of Paul Klee
The Science of Miracles (1897-1943, 19 mins): feast your eyes on some startling scientific marvels - and wonder upon the peculiar power of X-ray photography - as you study these rare films from the vaults of the BFI National Archive
