Description

Totsuko, a high school student in Nagasaki, perceives other people's feelings as colors, and she works hard — reading every situation and even telling small lies — to keep anyone around her from darkening.

Description

During the 1960s, West German audiences flocked to krimis — crime thrillers adapted from the novels of British writer Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace — which mixed whodunit plotting with horror as enigmatic killers stalked their victims through fog-bound London streets and lonely country houses. After early hits like Face of the Frog and The Crimson Circle, producer Artur Brauner's CCC Film launched its own Wallace series; this set gathers five key titles from that cycle, with The Phantom of Soho included as a bonus feature.

Description

A ninja is sworn to serve a master, and Recca Hanabishi has vowed to serve whoever can beat him in a fight. For all his martial-arts skill, trap-setting and his family's fireworks, his battles have never amounted to more than schoolyard scraps — the age of the ninja is long past, and his fascination with them is just pretend. Or so he thinks, until a mysterious woman tells him he is the last survivor of an ancient ninja clan, born with the power to control fire, and a battle proves her words may be true when flames spring from his hands. What does she know, and what does she want? Is Recca really the last of the Hokage — and could Yanagi, the girl who can heal any wound, be the princess he has always longed to serve?

Description

In the ruins of postwar Tokyo under the Allied Occupation, a group of prostitutes pool their earnings as a makeshift guild, saving to build a dancehall they call Paradise. Gangsters, black marketeers and would-be pimps all circle for a cut of their trade, and the discovery of an unexploded bomb inside the burned-out building where they work puts their fragile independence — and their dream — in still greater danger. Hideo Gosha retells Taijiro Tamura's oft-filmed story, best known from Seijun Suzuki's 1964 version.

Description

A chemical leak at the Hope Centre in Papua New Guinea — an organization set up to feed the developing world — transforms its staff into flesh-eating zombies, and a four-man commando unit under Mike London is dispatched to look into it. They cross paths with a TV news crew headed by celebrity reporter Lia chasing the same story, but with the whole country overrun by the undead, their chances of getting word out look slim. Beneath the carnage sits a serious warning: ignore the hunger of the Third World, and it may one day come feeding on us.

Disc 2 (the Blu-ray disc) contains the film and all of the set's special features: an audio commentary featuring Charles Burnett and film scholar Richard Peña; new interviews with Burnett and actor Henry Gayle Sanders; a new appreciation by filmmaker Barry Jenkins; two short films by Burnett, Several Friends (1969) and The Horse (1973), the latter with a new introduction by Burnett; an excerpt from the 2010 UCLA LA Rebellion Oral History Project featuring an interview with Burnett by film scholar Jacqueline Stewart; A Walk with Charles Burnett (2019), a documentary by Robert Townsend; a cast reunion from 2007; and the trailer. Charles Burnett's lyrical first feature, now regarded as a landmark of American independent cinema, pieces together a portrait of Black life in Los Angeles's Watts neighborhood. At its center is Stan (Henry Gayle Sanders), a slaughterhouse worker ground down by his job, and his wife (Kaycee Moore), as the two grasp for small moments of tenderness amid constant disappointment. Moving between the worlds of adults and children, Burnett—who directed, wrote, produced, shot, and edited the film himself—draws poetry out of ordinary hardship in images of compassionate beauty. Barely seen for decades after he finished it in 1977, Killer of Sheep has come to be recognized as a cornerstone of the LA Rebellion movement and a film that portrayed Black American life with an aching intimacy unlike anything before it.

Description

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Without shared names, backstories, or even a prior relationship, two strangers become entangled in a chaotic, lustful affair centered around a studio apartment in the city of love. On their own in the streets of Paris, Paul and Jeanne work their way through everything from carefree adventures to the tristesse of mourning a lost love while the apartment becomes their sultry sanctuary from the outside world. As their fling evolves into something that resembles love, the ugliness of the outside world that they both sought to escape forces its way into their relationship, changing both of them forever. With lush cinematography by three-time Academy Award winner Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and a carefully structured narrative co-written and directed by Bernardo Bertolucci (1900), LAST TANGO IN PARIS pushes the boundaries of cinema in the city of its birth. Marlon Brando (The Godfather) plays Paul, the middle-aged man who uses the apartment to escape from a traumatic death, while Maria Schneider (The Passenger) stars opposite as Jeanne, an exuberant Parisian woman who uses the fling to gain a feeling of independence from prior emotional commitments. Distribpix proudly presents the UHD debut of this seminal film in the canon of erotic films, freshly restored from its 35mm original camera negative under the supervision of Storaro and featuring a selection of new and archival interviews.

Description

Based on a true story, the film follows Joe Clark (Morgan Freeman), the hard-charging principal brought in to rescue Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. Armed with a bullhorn and a baseball bat, Clark chains the school's doors to keep the pushers and dropouts out and the students who want to learn in. His methods anger some teachers and parents even as many students rally behind him — and the turnaround he engineers becomes a national sensation. John G. Avildsen, the director of Rocky and The Karate Kid, delivers another rousing crowd-pleaser.

Description

Disc 2 contains The Mad Executioners (1963) in 1080p HD and The Phantom of Soho (1964), presented in standard definition as a bonus film, each with a new introduction by genre-film expert Tim Lucas; a new audio commentary on The Mad Executioners by Kevin Lyons and Jonathan Rigby; a new audio commentary on The Phantom of Soho by Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw; 'Bryan Edgar Wallace: An Era', a new interview with Alice Brauner; and German and American trailers for The Mad Executioners. West Germany's krimi cycle — crime films adapted from Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace — mixed the whodunit with horror, sending masked killers stalking victims through a fogbound England of London streets and isolated country houses. After the cycle took off with Face of the Frog and The Crimson Circle, producer Artur Brauner mounted his own Wallace series at CCC Film; this set gathers five of them. A cult hunts a stolen artefact from Hong Kong in The Curse of the Yellow Snake; a killer who brands an 'M' on his victims' foreheads haunts The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle; hooded vigilantes and a sadistic murderer share London in The Mad Executioners; a Ripper-style panic grips the capital in The Monster of London City; and deaths cluster around a stately home and its owner's racehorse in The Racetrack Murders. Eureka's Masters of Cinema edition presents the five films from new CCC restorations, with the standard-definition bonus film The Phantom of Soho alongside.

Description

Disc 3 contains The Monster of London City (1964) in 1080p HD, a new audio commentary by Kim Newman and Stephen Jones, a new introduction by genre-film expert Tim Lucas, 'Passing the Blade: From Krimi to Slasher', a video essay by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, and the German trailer. During the 1960s West German audiences flocked to krimis — crime pictures adapted from the novels of British writer Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace — which blended the classic whodunit with horror as masked killers stalked victims through a fog-shrouded England of London streets and remote country estates. Once Face of the Frog and The Crimson Circle proved the formula, veteran producer Artur Brauner launched his own Wallace series through CCC Film, and this collection gathers five of its key entries. A cult pursues an ancient artefact newly arrived from Hong Kong in The Curse of the Yellow Snake; a murderer who brands an 'M' into his victims' foreheads terrorizes The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle; hooded vigilantes and a sadistic killer share the capital in The Mad Executioners; a fresh wave of brutal murders spreads Ripper-like panic in The Monster of London City; and a string of deaths surrounds a stately home and its owner's racehorse in The Racetrack Murders. All five films are presented from 2K restorations of the original elements, in their original German versions with new English subtitles and in their English dub versions, which were prepared for the UK and US market.

Description

Ricardo Montalban headlines this John Sturges police procedural with a strong noir streak. The case begins with a wealthy, married Boston socialite, the pregnant young woman he has been seeing, and the unlucky bar patron she talks into handing over his car — and ends with a woman's skeleton washing up on Cape Cod months later. Assigned to the investigation, Lieutenant Peter Morales (Montalban) has almost nothing to work with, so he teams up with Harvard forensic criminologist Dr. McAdoo (Bruce Bennett) to identify the killer. John Alton's striking camerawork and the Sydney Boehm–Richard Brooks screenplay, from a story by Leonard Spigelgass, round out a tight, dark thriller.

Description

Nate's only chance of rescuing her is an uneasy partnership with the unpredictable Hayes himself. The result mixes humor, romance and cutlass-swinging action, from a screenplay co-written by John Hughes from David Odell's story.

Description

This documentary examines the surge of antisemitism that erupted on American college campuses, across social media and in the streets in the days after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. It looks at how, on elite campuses, Hamas came to be celebrated by some students and faculty as freedom fighters rather than terrorists, and argues that anti-Zionism has been normalized into a modern form of antisemitism. Through its investigation, the film traces the networks Hamas spent decades building inside American institutions — including universities, through groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine — and the wave of online propaganda and disinformation that followed.

Description

Texas, 2007. Raphael, an emo teenager, lands in jail after being arrested for graffiti — a minor crime, and he is basically a good kid. Even so, everything that follows the arrest lands in his lap: a sting operation, a series of severed hands, the FBI, a pig named Larry and a plutonium deal that goes badly wrong, along with anyone hurt when it does. None of it is Raphael's doing, but all of it becomes his problem.

Description

In the year 225 A.B. (After the Bomb), a gang of scavengers stumbles on a seemingly deserted city and finds itself hunted by millions of flesh-eating rats. Having previously filmed the zombie apocalypse in Hell of the Living Dead, director Bruno Mattei and writers Claudio Fragasso and Rossella Drudi turned to a different kind of collapse for this notorious shocker, shot partly on sets built for Once Upon a Time in America and starring Ottaviano Dell'Acqua, Massimo Vanni, Gianni Franco and Geretta Geretta, with a score by Luigi Ceccarelli. Severin presents it scanned in 4K from the original camera negative for the first time.

Description

As fame and work consume him, the women in his life learn that his music will always come first. This edition is newly remastered from 4K scans of nitrate materials and restores over twelve minutes of footage unseen by general audiences since the premiere engagements, along with the Gershwin-medley overture that accompanied only the New York and Hollywood premieres.
