Description

A talented and versatile journeyman, director Sergio Martino (The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) lent his talents to multiple genres across his long and varied career, but is undoubtedly best known for his giallo thrillers from the early 70s. Among the most highly acclaimed of these, 1973’s Torso revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie. A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa – only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them! Also known as Carnal Violence, Torso was released in Italy towards the end of the giallo boom before enjoying a second life on the American grindhouse circuit. Co-starring Tina Aumont (Salon Kitty) and Luc Merenda (The Violent Professionals), the film finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid! 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films from the original camera negative 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the 94-minute Italian and 90-minute English-language export versions of the film Restored original lossless Italian and English mono soundtracks* Original Italian and English front and end titles and insert shots Optional English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack Audio commentary by Kat Ellinger, author of All the Colours of Sergio Martino All the Colors of Terror – interview with co-writer/director Sergio Martino The Discreet Charm of the Genre – interview with actor Luc Merenda Dial S for Suspense – interview with co-writer Ernesto Gastaldi Women in Blood – interview with filmmaker Federica Martino, daughter of Sergio Martino Saturating the Screen – interview with Mikel J.

Jacques Becker’s (Le Trout) Touches Pas Au Grimsby occupies a significant part in French cinema history; it exerted a huge influence on subsequent directors such as Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Doulas), Henri Vermeil (The Sicilian Clan) and Claude Sautee (Classed Toups Risqué). Max (Jean Gabon, Port of Shadows) is an aging gangster who manages to pull off his final heist, a spectacular gold bullion robbery at Olly airport. All is well until Max’s former girlfriend Joys (Jeanne Moreau, Viva Maria! ) tips off a rival gangster, Angelo (Lion Ventura, Rizzio Sur La Chou). Angelo kidnaps Max’s partner and best friend and threatens to kill him unless Max hands over the loot from his robbery. Touches Pas Au Grimsby was the birth the French policer, a European transposition of the fantastic American gangster films and film noirs of the 1940s. Based on a book by Albert Simon in (Cold Sweat) and beautifully shot in striking black-and-white by Pierre Montage (Hi-Jack Highway).

On April 30, 1971, a standing-room-only crowd of New York’s intellectual elite packed the city’s Town Hall theater to see Norman Mailer—fresh from the controversy over his essay “The Prisoner of Sex” and the backlash it received from leaders of the women’s movement—tangle with a panel of four prominent female thinkers and activists: Jacqueline Ceballos, Germaine Greer, Jill Johnston, and Diana Trilling. Part intellectual death match, part three-ring circus, the proceedings were captured with crackling, fly-on-the-wall immediacy by the documentary great D. A. Pennebaker and a small crew, with Chris Hegedus later condensing the three-and-a-half-hour affair into this briskly entertaining snapshot of a singular cultural moment. Heady, heated, and hilarious, Town Bloody Hall is a dazzling display of feminist firepower courtesy of some of the most influential figures of the era, with Mailer plainly relishing his role as the pugnacious rabble-rouser and literary lion at the center of it all. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration, supervised by director Chris Hegedus, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interview with Hegedus • Audio commentary from 2004 featuring Hegedus and author Germaine Greer • Footage from a 2004 celebration of the film, which brought together participants Greer, Jacqueline Ceballos, and Jill Johnston and directors Hegedus and D.

The groundbreaking Moroccan band Nass El Ghiwane is the dynamic subject of this captivating, one-of-a-kind documentary by Ahmed El Maanouni, who filmed the four musicians during a series of electrifying live performances in Tunisia, Morocco, and France; on the streets of Casablanca; and in intimate conversations. Storytellers through song and traditional instruments, and with connections to political theater, the band became a local phenomenon and an international sensation, thanks to its rebellious lyrics and sublime, fully acoustic sound, which draws on Berber rhythms, Malhun sung poetry, and Gnawa dances. Both a concert movie and a free-form audiovisual experiment, bolstered by images of the band’s rapt audience, Trances is pure cinematic poetry.

Screen icons Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry), Tony Curtis (The Vikings) and Gina Lollobrigida (Woman of Straw) form a troubled love triangle in the realistic, suspenseful film shot in the actual Cirque d'Hiver in Paris. Young American acrobat Tino Orsini (Curtis) is an aspiring trapeze artist who comes to Paris in search of Mike Ribble (Lancaster), a former aerialist who has retired after injuring himself attempting a triple somersault. Mike agrees to teach Tino the triple after circus performer Rosa O'Flynn (Katy Jurado, One-Eyed Jacks) convinces him to stop feeling sorry for himself and try to recapture some of the fame that eluded him. But when two men both fall in love with the beautiful Lola (Lollobrigida) who uses them both to further her own ambitions the triangle threatens the dreams of them all. Trapeze, directed by the great Carol Reed (The Third Man, The Fallen Idol) is highlighted by great performances and high drama, and all the actors performed most of their own stunts (Lancaster had previously been an acrobat in real life).

Three classic animated Soviet sci-fi films from the vaults of the famed Soyuzmultfilm studios, THE MYSTERY OF THE THIRD PLANET, THE PASS & THE RETURN THE MYSTERY OF THE THIRD PLANET (TAYNA TRETEY PLANETY), 1981, Soyuzmultfilm, 48 min. Dir. Roman Kachanov. A trio of intrepid space explorers, Professor Seleznyov, his 9-year old daughter Alice and the hilariously doom-and-gloom Captain Zelyonyy set off on a rocket ship in the year 2181 to collect rare alien creatures for the Moscow Zoo. They're immediately drawn into an amazingly convoluted mystery involving a sinister doctor, a nearly-extinct Chatter-bird, and two legendary, missing cosmonauts. A delirious cosmic treat for fans of FANTASTIC PLANET, MYSTERY... features a gallery of psychedelic space creatures straight out of YELLOW SUBMARINE: blue-skinned aliens with ears on the tops of their heads, a tiger-rat from the planet Penelope, a blue-and-purple flying cow with fairy's wings. Director Roman Kachanov's long sought-after gem packs enough plot, surreal imagery, phantasmagorical creatures and otherworldly worlds into its 48 minutes for an entire mini-series. THE PASS (PEREVAL), 1988, Soyuzmultfilm, 30 min. "On this night, Oleg was on duty near the fence ... He sensed the emptiness and the routine. Three times people went to the Pass. It was all in vain." So begins Russian director Vladimir Tarasov's sublime masterpiece of animated sci-fi in which a group of terrified human survivors on an alien world try to reach their derelict spacecraft 16 years after it crashed. On par with Tarkovsky's SOLARIS and STALKER as one of the most hypnotic and visually stunning science-fiction stories ever filmed, THE PASS is filled with cascading, pulsating images: night creatures that bleed in from the darkness to attack, a cat's eyes flickering in the candlelight, frightened children reciting stories of another planet, another time. THE PASS is the longest of Tarasov's works and arguably his finest achievement. "The Return" (Vozvrashchenie), 1980, Soyuzmultfilm, 10 min. A sleeping cosmonaut hurtles unaware towards his home planet -- but will he awake in time? Bonus Materials Newly restored in 4K Two new video essays on Roman Kachanov and Vladimir Tarasov by film historian Evan Chester New commentary track by Adam Rackoff, James Hancock and Martin Kessler.

Gorgeous new restorations of 3 of Soviet-Armenian director Lev Atamanov's THE SNOW QUEEN, THE SCARLET FLOWER and THE KEY. THE SNOW QUEEN (SNEZHNAYA KOROLEVA) - 1957, 65 min. Lev Atamanov's sublime and often terrifyingly beautiful masterpiece, based on a Hans Christian Andersen story, follows a resourceful young girl, Gerda (voiced by Yanina Zheymo), as she embarks on an epic journey to save her friend Kay (Anna Komolova) from the frozen embraces of the magnificent Snow Queen (Mariya Babanova). A favorite of Hayao Miyazaki who said the film inspired him to become an animator -- and it's easy to see the direct influence of THE SNOW QUEEN on characters and storylines in CASTLE IN THE SKY, PRINCESS MONONOKE and SPIRITED AWAY. THE SCARLET FLOWER (ÁLENKIY TSVETÓTCHEK) - 1952, 42 min. Dir. Lev Atamanov. An almost impossibly lovely, bejeweled fantasy adventure, a mixture of Ptushko's THE STONE FLOWER and SADKO with Cocteau's BEAUTY & THE BEAST. A ship's captain promises his youngest daughter Nastenka (voiced by Nina Krachkovskaya) a scarlet flower as a gift. But when he plucks it, the enraged beast who owns it demands a sacrifice - and Nastenka offers herself up as the monster's prisoner on an enchanted isle. THE KEY (KLYUCH) - 1961, 58 min. Atamanov's delightfully quirky gem is one of his most surprising efforts, a surreal parable about the benefits of Magic vs. the value of Good Hard Work. Three wonderfully wacky fairies come to bless a newborn child with the gift of an enchanted ball of yarn - but the boy's no-nonsense grandfather (voiced by A. Glushchenko) wants to give him more practical gifts, like common sense, a good hammer and a strong work ethic. THE KEY is told in a totally different visual style than Atamanov's lush earlier works, closer to the angular mid-century modern look of UPA circa "Gerald McBoing Boing" and "Mr. Magoo." Bonus Materials New visual essay 'Written With Ice Crystals: Lev Atamanov and THE SNOW QUEEN' by film historian Evan Chester New video essay on Hayao Miyazaki and the influence of THE SNOW QUEEN by film historian John Adkins of Animation Obsessive New audio commentaries by film historian Rolf Giesen New restorations of all 3 films by Craig Rogers for Deaf Crocodile 1st ever U.S. Blu-ray release Blu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity In Motion.

The short films of legendary Russian animator Yuri Norstein including his classic HEDGEHOG IN THE FOG and THE TALE OF TALES, newly restored THE 25TH, THE FIRST DAY - 1968, 9 min., co-dir. Arkadiy Tyurin. Yuri Norstein's first film is a visually striking tribute to the Bolshevik Revolution on October 25 SEASONS - 1969, 9 min. A man and woman ride through the forest while the seasons change around them in this lovely, elegiac short set to music by Tchaikovsky. CHILDREN AND MATCHES - 1969, 5 min. Norstein's rarely-seen educational short about the dangers of matches, from ancient times up to today. THE BATTLE OF KERZHENETS - 1971, 10 min., co-dir. Ivan Ivanov-Vano. Arguably Norstein's first great animated film, inspired by the legend of the City of Kitezh which disappeared into a lake to avoid Mongol invaders. THE FOX & THE HARE - 1973, 12 min. Norstein's utterly charming short about a temperamental "house-filching fox" who boots a poor rabbit out of its home. The rabbit turns to a wolf, bear, bull and rooster for help, with surprising results. THE HERON & THE CRANE - 1974, 10 min. An awkward crane and a high-spirited heron go back and forth on marrying each other, in this heartbreaking short about romantic misunderstandings. HEDGEHOG IN THE FOG - 1975, 11 min. The deceptively epic journey of the tiny hedgehog, filled with impossible marvels and dangers: a shimmering white horse and a crafty owl. A fluttering bat, a falling leaf and the ever-present curtain of fog. Widely considered one of the greatest animated films ever made. A DAY BEFORE OUR ERA - 1977, 6 min. Co-dir. Fyodor Khitruk. This experimental collage of images of the French Revolution was apparently abandoned before it was finished, and remains one of Norstein's rarest films. THE TALE OF TALES - 1979, 29 min. Norstein's longest film to date, TALE is a story about stories, a dream of many dreams. A giant bull and a little girl skip rope. Couples dance under a streetlight until the male partners disappear, headed off to war. And through it all, the Little Grey Wolf watches silently at the rondo of human loves and losses.

Description

Before Romeo & Juliet, there was Tristan & Isolde! From executive producer Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and director Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) comes a sweeping, action-packed saga of epic battles, political intrigue and forbidden passion, set in a time when the lines between heroism and savagery were etched in fire and carved out with broadswords. After the fall of Rome, visionary warlord Marke (Rufus Sewell, A Knight s Tale) seeks to unite the squabbling English tribes to form one strong nation and defeat the brutal Irish king Donnchadh (David O Hara, Braveheart). But when Lord Marke's greatest and most loyal knight, Tristan (James Franco, 127 Hours), falls in love with Isolde (Sophia Myles, Art School Confidential), a beautiful Irish woman, it threatens to destroy the fragile truce and ignite a war. Tristan + Isolde is a rousing tale of trust and treachery that will leave you breathless! The all-star cast also includes Mark Strong (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and Henry Cavill (Man of Steel).
