Brilliant, visionary Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke) fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition, then faces thornier challenges with his new system for worldwide wireless energy. The film tracks Tesla's uneasy interactions with his fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan) and his patron George Westinghouse (Jim Gaffigan). Another thread traces Tesla's sidewinding courtship of financial titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz), whose daughter Anne (Eve Hewson) takes a more than casual interest in the inventor. Anne analyzes and presents the story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice to this scientific period drama which, like its subject, defies convention.

Burning with stylistic freedom, the first three features by Leos Carax are cinema at its most ecstatically sensorial and deliriously romantic. Built around virtuosic, intensely physical performances from Denis Lavant as three different characters named Alex, these tales of outsiders, criminals, and doomed lovers living on the edge blaze with the whirlwind abandon of youth and the thrilling highs and torturous lows of all-consuming passion. Love letters to the city of Paris, with its streets transformed by cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier into expressive dreamscapes, these three films erupt in moments of anarchic euphoria that fuse sound and image to heart-stopping effect. DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restorations, with uncompressed monaural (Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais sang) and 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio (The Lovers on the Bridge) soundtracks Three 4K UHD discs of the films (with The Lovers on the Bridge presented in Dolby Vision HDR) and three Blu-rays with the films and special features It’s Not Me (2024), a self-portrait film by director Leos Carax New interviews with actor Denis Lavant and editor Nelly Quettier New video essay on the cinematography of Jean-Yves Escoffier Meet the Filmmakers: Leos Carax, a Criterion Channel original interview Mr. X: A Vision of Leos Carax (2014), a documentary on Carax’s work Le Pont-Neuf des amants (1991), a documentary on the making of the main set for The Lovers on the Bridge Deleted scene, rushes, screen tests, behind-the-scenes footage, and trailers New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by author Amina Cain BOY MEETS GIRL Made when he was just twenty-three years old, Leos Carax’s rapturous debut feature returns French cinema to the unfettered experimentation of the New Wave while updating it for the punk 1980s. In velvety black and white, Boy Meets Girl evokes a surreal nocturnal Paris populated by lost souls and wandering misfits, including Alex (Denis Lavant), a disaffected would-be filmmaker whose girlfriend has just left him for his best friend, and Mireille (Mireille Perrier), an aspiring actress nursing her own heartbreak. Drawn together by fate, they share a moment of intense, fleeting connection as bright-burning and ephemeral as youth itself. MAUVAIS SANG With his exhilarating second feature, Leos Carax infuses a neonoir scenario with a delirious strain of doomed romanticism for a tour de force of avant-pop invention. Amid the spread of STBO—a sexually transmitted disease acquired by having sex without emotion—a young ex-con (Denis Lavant) is recruited by a veteran criminal (Michel Piccoli) to steal the antidote, only to find himself entangled in a dangerous affair with his new associate’s lover (Juliette Binoche). Constructed with the kinetic verve of a musical, Mauvais sang explodes in moments of pure cinematic adrenaline, from a dizzying skydive to Lavant’s heart-pounding nighttime sprint set to David Bowie’s “Modern Love.” THE LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE With this feverish saga of amour fou, Leos Carax pushed his ambitions to glorious new heights. Michèle (Juliette Binoche), an artist who is losing her sight, meets Alex (Denis Lavant), a homeless street performer, while sleeping rough on Paris’s centuries-old Pont-Neuf, beginning an obsessive affair that soon collides with crushing reality. The result of an infamously lengthy, arduous production, The Lovers on the Bridge is a bracing plunge into life on the city’s turbulent margins—a visually arresting, musically intoxicating film that is never more dazzling than when the lovers water-ski madly across the Seine amid a shower of fireworks.

Douglas Fairbanks, The King of Hollywood, stars in two action-packed spectacles featuring him in the role he was born to play: Alexandre Dumas’ D’Artagnan! In THE THREE MUSKETEERS, we are introduced to the young D’Artagnan, a naïve and ambitious farm boy whose acrobatic swordsmanship earns him the respect of King Louis XIII’s elite regiment of guards, The Musketeers. Doug reprises his role in THE IRON MASK, which finds D’Artagnan and his fellow Musketeers under threat by the sinister Cardinal Richelieu and Count De Rochefort. For the restoration of THE THREE MUSKETEERS, a full frame 35MM fine grain positive was scanned at 4K. At the suggestion of Fairbanks scholar Jeffrey Vance, the scan was done at an historically appropriate 21 frames per second. Following this, more than 150 hours of digital clean-up was completed at 2K. THE IRON MASK was restored by Cohen Film Collection in association with Photoplay Productions. In 1999, Patrick Stanbury and Kevin Brownlow of Photoplay produced a photochemical restoration in association with the Museum of Modern Art and The Douris Corporation, using Douglas Fairbanks' personal nitrate print. Picture restoration work was done at Cinema Arts, Inc and Haghefilm, creating a new 35MM negative. The sound sequences were copied from original discs held at the Library of Congress and digitally restored at Cedar Audio (London). Further digital restoration of the analog restoration elements were carried out in 2017 on behalf of Cohen Film Collection at Roundabout Entertainment. The 35MM full aperture negative of the 1999 restoration was scanned at 4K, with more than 160 hours of digital clean-up completed at 2K.

This spectacular box set comprises 11 classic martial arts films from the famous Shaw Brothers' library, featuring some of their greatest stars—Jimmy Wang Yu (One-Armed Swordsman), Cheng Pei-pei (Come Drink with Me), Lo Lieh (King Boxer), Ku Feng (The Five Venoms), and David Chiang (The Boxer From Shantung). Many of these films are debuting for the first time on Blu-ray. Get ready for some exciting thrills and chills as heroes meet villains in a duel to the death! The Assassin In the same year that director/writer Chang Cheh and star Jimmy Wang Yu revolutionized Hong Kong kung fu cinema with One-Armed Swordsman, they also collaborated on this epic of the Six Kingdoms era. Here, Yu is a two-armed swordsman who is also a Wei Empire patriot. Inside the Han Empire, Han Kuei, who comes from the royal family, assumes full power and wants to eliminate loyal officer Yen Sui. Later, our main character is betrayed by a jealous rival and becomes a village butcher. But when he meets Yen Sui, he is sent back on the road of vengeance. Chiao Chiao, the lovely and talented costar of One-Armed Swordsman, here plays Hsia, the love of the hero's life and the strong woman who survives to protect their child. The Thundering Sword Superstar swordswoman Cheng Pei-pei, (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), stars as the daughter of the Poison Master in a Romeo and Juliet-style martial arts adventure concerning a search for the magical "Heaven and Earth" weapon in The Thundering Sword. The Golden Swallow The indomitable martial arts team of director Chang Cheh and stunt choreographer Liu Chia-liang continues the compelling saga of The Golden Swallow from King Hu's Come Drink with Me in this sequel of heartbreaking romance, intrigue and stunning action. The Jade Raksha Thanks in great part to Cheng Pei-pei, women in martial arts movies played a more central role in the plots and the swordswomen of the genre became some of the most charismatic figures in Hong Kong cinema. In The Jade Raksha, Cheng Pei-pei becomes a human combine harvester as she hacks and whacks a path through life, avenging the death of her family under the moniker "The Jade Raksha." The Bells of Death The Bells of Death is a whirlwind story about a man embarking on a life-long journey to master the sword, then find and eliminate the three men who killed his family and abducted his sister. The Sword of Swords Jimmy Wang Yu had just exploded into superstardom as One-Armed Swordsman when he teamed with respected writer/director Cheng Kang for this tale of master martial artists vying for the title blad—a "weapon of exceptional brilliance." And with legendary martial arts choreographers Lau Kar-leung and Tang Chia directing the action, the result is a superb, flat-out adventure of intrigue, deception, and an abduction, delivering one battle after another until it culminates in an amazing all-out slaughter. Killer Dart Rampaging bandits are pillaging peaceful Chinese villages until the grieving dart master Liu Wen Lung sets out with his student, son, and servant to avenge his murdered wife and set things right. Renowned director Ho Meng-Hua—soon to be internationally famous for The Flying Guillotine—masterfully balances action with intrigue and romance, as the path of righteousness is littered with lies…and corpses. The Invincible Fist The Invincible Fist is one of the few films where the godfather of the kung fu film Chang Cheh headlined Lo Lieh as the leading hero three years before Lo would become the Shaw Brothers' first international star in King Boxer (aka Five Fingers of Death). Here he plays a dedicated chief constable for Tsang Chou village who falls in love with the blind daughter of a bandit who is wreaking havoc. Joining him in all the action and emotion are award-winning actor Ku Feng and future superstar David Chiang. Dragon Swamp Cheng Pei-pei, the screen's greatest swordswoman, teams with Lo Lieh for this amazing, fast-paced adventure of the "Martial Arts World"—where everyone is killing to gain the famous "Jade Dragon Sword." Fascinating characters, like the Roaming Knight and the Master of Dragon Swamp, clash in this family feud, which takes place over twenty years. In addition to the spectacular fights, this special production holds an emotional wallop for the finale. The Flying Dagger Godfather of the kung fu film, director Chang Cheh is famous for introducing the revolutionary concept of "yanggang" (macho) martial arts movies. Until then, female stars (often in male swordsman roles) ruled the screens. This collaboration between him and swordswoman supreme Cheng Pei-pei is exceptional indeed. Cheng could hold her own with any man, freeing Chang to create the best of all possible martial arts worlds. The Golden Sword Lo Wei remains internationally famous for directing Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's first major movies. Cheng Pei-pei is now internationally famous for her superlative villainous role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But both were superstars in

A chilling exploration of the future is also a compelling examination of the present in George Lucas’s THX 1138, starring Robert Duvall as a man whose mind and body are controlled by the government. THX makes a harrowing attempt to escape from a world where thoughts are controlled, freedom is an impossibility and love is the ultimate crime.

Description

Disc 12 contains the film 7 Man Army, an audio commentary with David West, the featurettes “Armed and Dangerous: Actor Lu Feng Reflects on His Time as an Actor at Shaw Brothers Studios” and “Right-Hand Man: Hsieh Hsing, Action Director of 7 Man Army, Looks Back at a Shaw Brothers Masterpiece”, and a Celestial trailer. In 1933, 20,000 Japanese troops and 50 tanks attacked Pa Tou Lou Tzu, a strategic point on the Great Wall defended by only seven men, who held out against the entire army for five days before falling. Chang Cheh recreated the battle with Ti Lung, David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng, and Chen Kuan-tai as a tribute to those unsung heroes.

Description

Disc 9 contains the film All Men Are Brothers, an audio commentary with James Mudge, the original theatrical trailer, and a Celestial trailer. The long-awaited sequel to the martial arts hit The Water Margin, adapted from one of China's most enduring 14th-century novels. Also known as Seven Soldiers of Kung Fu and 108 Heroes, the action-packed epic features a cast of kung fu favorites and no fewer than four action choreographers.

Description

Disc 8 contains the film The Angry Guest, an audio commentary with James Mudge, and a Celestial trailer. A vengeful Japanese gangster has the heroes' mother murdered and one of their girlfriends kidnapped, bringing terror to Tokyo and horror to Hong Kong in this sequel to Duel of Fists — which features director Chang Cheh himself in a rare on-screen appearance as a triad boss, plus Yasuaki Kurata, the future co-star of Jet Li's Fist of Legend.

Description

Disc 4 contains the film The Anonymous Heroes, an audio commentary with James Mudge, the original theatrical trailer, and a Celestial trailer. Director Chang Cheh and stars Ti Lung and David Chiang were known as the “iron triangle” for their many hits together — though action choreographer Lau Kar-leung's contributions arguably made it an iron rectangle. This post-Chinese Revolution adventure, about rebels battling warlords, showcases the quartet's skills on both sides of the camera and was a 1971 top-ten hit.

Description

Disc 10 contains the film The Blood Brothers, an audio commentary with James Mudge, the original theatrical trailer, and a Celestial trailer. Set in the waning years of the Ching Dynasty, this dramatic, tragic, romantic and blood-soaked tale of betrayal and revenge dramatizes one of the most sensational scandals in Chinese history, and marked its director and stars' true ascension to superstardom. Ti Lung won a Golden Horse Award for his role as a jealous provincial governor who murders his friend to steal the man's wife.

Description

Disc 5 contains the film The Deadly Duo, an audio commentary with James Mudge, the original theatrical trailer, a German theatrical trailer, and a Celestial trailer.

Description

Disc 7 contains the film The Duel, an audio commentary with James Mudge, a US trailer, and a Celestial trailer. Before Bruce Lee's superstardom, Hong Kong cinema's greatest heroes were the majestic Ti Lung and the charismatic David Chiang. A year after Chang Cheh's Vengeance! made them stars, they returned in this mano-a-mano classic: Ti Lung as an adopted son struggling with familial fears, Chiang as a streetwise knight-errant called “Rambler” — two men who distrust each other until they survive a trial by fire and fists.

Description

Disc 6 contains the film Duel of Fists, an audio commentary with Ian Jane, the featurette “An Alluring Aesthetic” with Andrew Heskings, and a Celestial trailer. Another triumph for the iron triangle — and for action choreographer Liu Chia-liang. David Chiang plays a Chinese boxer who travels to Bangkok searching for his lost brother, who may or may not be the Thai boxer played by Ti Lung. The kung fu/Thai boxing combination was one of 1971's megahits, second only to Bruce Lee's The Big Boss.

Description

Disc 1 contains the film Have Sword, Will Travel, an audio commentary with David West, the original theatrical trailer, and a Celestial trailer. Chang Cheh teams David Chiang and Ti Lung for the second time in this classic heroic bloodshed epic, its title inspired by the Hollywood TV hit Have Gun — Will Travel. Ti Lung guards an armored transport carrying silver to the capital, stalked along the way by a mysterious knight (David Chiang) who appears to be a robber — but whose intentions prove far more mysterious.

Description

Disc 2 contains the film The Heroic Ones, the on-camera discussion “Sanguine and Guile” with filmmaker and academic Gilbert Po on the bloody brilliance of director Chang Cheh, and a Celestial trailer. Chang Cheh's quintessential historical epic with his 'iron triangle' stars David Chiang and Ti Lung is set during the waning years of the Tang Dynasty, where it is literally brother against brother as the two display their martial arts prowess against insiders and outsiders in a duel to the death for the fate of China.

Description

Disc 11 contains the film The Savage 5, an audio commentary with James Mudge, veteran Hong Kong film critic at easternKicks, and a Celestial trailer. The heroes are savage because the villains are brutal, cruel and vicious: a gang that at first only wants the village locksmith to open a stolen safe soon escalates into tormenting the village. In the tradition of The Seven Samurai, Chang Cheh and action choreographers Liu Chia-liang and Tang Chia stage each struggle with gritty depravity and desperate power, making for an especially realistic, grueling exercise in white-knuckle suspense.

Description

Disc 3 contains the film Vengeance!, an audio commentary by David West, the featurette “Retribution Shaw-Style” with Luke White on the politics and plasma-spillage of Vengeance, and the original theatrical trailer. David Chiang plays a psychotic man bent on avenging the death of his older brother (Ti Lung) in a tale of retribution and paying the ultimate price, with equally psychotic action choreographed by Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan. Chang Cheh won Best Director and Chiang's haunting performance earned him the Best Actor Award at the 1970 Asian Film Festival.

Description

After James (Dan Stevens), a blind man, inexplicably regains his vision, he becomes possessed by a drive to make a better life for himself. However, his new improvements—a nicer home, a higher paying job, tailored suits, luxury car—leave little room for the people who were part of his old, simpler life: his plain wife (Malin Akerman) and close friend Bob (Oliver Platt). As his relationships buckle under the strain of his snowballing ambition, it becomes uncertain if James can ever return from darkness. Director Ido Fluk paints a visual world that reflects the mesmerizing effect that newfound sight has on James; the vibrant backgrounds and the sun-drenched rooms are captivating in their beauty. His dreamy and subjective style combines with an astute sense of character to craft a tale of desire, perception, and what it really means to be blind. Bonus Content: Audio Commentary by Writer/Director Ido Fluk and Writer Sharon Mashihi Original Theatrical Trailer

Description

1971. A nation stands divided over the escalating war in Vietnam. At Fort Polk, Louisiana, the specter of combat hangs over the men of A-Company, Second Platoon, as they enter the final stage of infantry training. They will be sent to the war. But each man deals with this prospect in his own way. One man's defiance, however, galvanizes every member of the platoon. Soon after Roland Bozz (newcomer Colin Farrell) joins A-Company, the lines of opinion that divide the conscience of the nation begin to penetrate the ranks of the soldiers. Just released from the base stockade, Bozz wants out of the army, and he stages small acts of protest. Bozz' disobedience triggers unexpected and far-reaching consequences. We begin to see that Bozz, Paxton, Miter, Cantwell, Wilson, Johnson and the others are children, handed rifles and forced into adult uniforms. But nothing Bozz does can save himself or the boys in Second Platoon from Tigerland, a wilderness designated by the army for jungle combat simulation. Their last stop before the war. Deep in the backwoods of Louisiana, with little hope of escaping Vietnam, Bozz rushes towards an action that no one--not even he--could have anticipated.
