With An Angel at My Table, Academy Award–winning filmmaker Jane Campion brought to the screen the harrowing autobiography of Janet Frame, New Zealand’s most distinguished author. Three actors in turn take on the lead role (including Kerry Fox in a marvelous performance as the adult Frame), as the film describes a journey from an impoverished childhood marked by tragedy to a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia resulting in electroshock therapy and a narrowly escaped lobotomy to, finally, international literary fame. Unobtrusively capturing the beauty and power of the New Zealand landscape while maintaining the film’s focus on the figure at its center, Campion broke new ground for female filmmakers everywhere and earned a sweep of her country’s film awards, along with the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • High-definition digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Stuart Dryburgh and approved by director Jane Campion, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack • Audio commentary featuring Campion, Dryburgh, and actor Kerry Fox • Short documentary from 2002 about the making of the film • Six deleted scenes • Audio interview with author Janet Frame from 1983 • Trailer • Stills gallery • PLUS: An essay by film critic Amy Taubin and excerpts from Frame’s autobiography, on which Campion based her film

Import Blu-ray/Region A pressing. Following an incident on planet Sirius 6-B, all humans deserted the colony. The man-made weapons known as Screamers, a race of highly mobile bladed machines named after the shrill noise they emit on attack, were thought to be destroyed. But when a bewildering distress signal indicates that survivors may still live on Sirius 6-B, a team of soldiers is called in to investigate. Are the people they find there entirely human? Or are they the terrifying next step in the evolution of the Screamers? Lance Henriksen stars in this scary sci-fi horror-thriller, the sequel to a film based on a novel by Philip K. Dick.
