Description

Lars von Trier (Europa, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) shook up the film world when he premiered Antichrist at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. In this graphic psychodrama, a grief-stricken man and woman—a searing Willem Dafoe (Platoon, The Last Temptation of Christ) and Cannes best actress Charlotte Gainsbourg (Jane Eyre, 21 Grams)—retreat to a cabin deep in the woods after the accidental death of their infant son, only to find terror and violence at the hands of nature and, ultimately, each other. But this most confrontational work yet from one of contemporary cinema’s most controversial artists is no mere provocation. It is a visually sublime, emotionally ravaging journey to the darkest corners of the possessed human mind; a disturbing battle of the sexes that pits rational psychology against age-old superstition; and a profoundly effective horror film.

Product Description AT FOURTEEN THEY MADE A PACT TO ROCK FOREVER. FIFTY YEARS LATER THEY STILL MEAN IT. At 14, two Toronto schoolmates -- Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and Robb Reiner -- made a pact to rock together forever. They meant it. Forming the band Anvil in 1982, the duo released one of the heaviest albums of all time -- Metal on Metal -- influencing some of the biggest names in rock including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. But while those bands went on to sell millions of albums and achieve international fame, Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity. Until now... Director Sacha Gervasi (Hitchcock) brings us Anvil! The Story of Anvil - a brilliant, achingly hilarious, and surprisingly touching documentary about Anvil's last-ditch quest for fame and fortune.

Providing an intimate, insightful look into the band members' ever-supportive, yet long-suffering families, Anvil!

Description

Boundary-pushing cinematic visionary Lars von Trier (Antichrist) returns with one of his most daring, masterfully provocative works yet. In five audacious episodes, failed architect and arch-sociopath Jack (Matt Dillon) recounts the elaborately orchestrated murders—each, as he views them, as a towering work of art—that define his "career" as a serial killer. Mixing pitch-black humor, transcendent surrealism, and renegade musings on everything from history to architecture to cinema itself, von Trier fashions a radical, blazingly personal inquiry into violence, art, and the twin acts of creation and destruction. Uma Thurman, Riley Keough, and Bruno Ganz co-star. Bonus Content: Includes Both the Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut of the Film Sonning Prize: An Interview with Director Lars Von Trier Teaser Trailer Theatrical Trailer

Description

The Informer (1929) is one of the finest British films of the 1920s and deserves a place alongside other silent greats such as A Cottage on Dartmoor (1929). Based on Liam O’Flaherty’s popular Irish novel (which John Ford famously adapted in 1935), this gripping thriller is set among a group of revolutionaries in the newly independent Ireland of 1922. When one of their number kills the chief of police, he goes on the run. But when he returns to Dublin he is cruelly betrayed by his onetime friend Gypo, who then has to battle his old friends as well as his own mounting guilt. Kino Classics is proud to present this restoration by the BFI National Archive, along with a score from acclaimed violist and composer Garth Knox. This disc also includes the rare sound version, which was produced at the same time as the more widely known silent release. Special Features: THE SOUND VERSION OF THE INFORMER (1929, 84 MINUTES) RESTORATION DEMONSTRATION (2016, 5 MINUTES)

Description

With his dazzling first three features, Lars von Trier sought nothing less than to map the soul of Europe—its troubled past, anxious present, and uncertain future. Linked by a fascination with hypnotic states and the mesmeric possibilities of cinema, the films that make up the Europe Trilogy—The Element of Crime, Epidemic, and Europa—filter the continent’s turbulent history, guilt, and traumas through the Danish provocateur’s audacious deconstructions of genres including film noir, melodrama, horror, and science fiction. Above all, they are bravura showcases for von Trier’s hallucinatory visuals, with each shot a tour de force of technical invention and dark imagination. THREE-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital restoration of Europa, with uncompressed stereo soundtrack, and 3K digital restorations of The Element of Crime and Epidemic, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks Audio commentaries featuring director Lars von Trier and others Tranceformer: A Portrait of Lars von Trier (1997), a documentary by Stig Björkman Interview from 2005 with von Trier about the Europe Trilogy Making-of documentaries for all three films Programs on the films featuring interviews with many of von Trier’s collaborators Two short student films by von Trier: Nocturne (1980) and Images of Liberation (1982) Danish television interview with von Trier from 1994 Trailers English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by critic Howard Hampton THE ELEMENT OF CRIME Lars von Trier’s stunning debut feature is a grungily expressionistic hallucination—a trancelike trawl through fractured memories, a murder mystery, and the psychic limbo of cultural displacement. From his exile in Cairo, a former police investigator (Michael Elphick) undergoes hypnosis in order to relive his memories of Europe and his last case, for which he went to dangerous lengths to enter into the mind of and catch a serial killer targeting children. Bathed in a sulfurous yellow glow pierced only by startling flashes of electric blue and red, The Element of Crime combines hard-boiled noir, dystopian science fiction, and dazzling operatic flourishes to yield a celluloid nightmare of terrifying beauty. EPIDEMIC A jet-black comedy of contagion, a subversive medical-horror freak-out, and a sly metacinematic prank, Lars von Trier’s sophomore feature—born from a bet that he couldn’t make a film for less than $150,000—finds the director channeling his singular thematic obsessions into an evocatively lo-fi, perversely self-reflexive provocation. The filmmaker himself stars as a harried screenwriter whose efforts to complete a script about the outbreak of a deadly disease coincide with a grisly real-life plague. A twisted reflection on Europe’s haunted past—from the Black Death to World War II—and its scarred present, Epidemic is von Trier at his most idiosyncratic and audaciously experimental. EUROPA “You will now listen to my voice . . . On the count of ten you will be in Europa.” This ominous, hypnotic induction by Max von Sydow inaugurates the entrancing final installment of Lars von Trier’s Europe Trilogy. An idealistic American (Jean-Marc Barr) travels to postwar Germany to take a job as a sleeping-car conductor for the Zentropa railways—and finds himself plunged into a murky, Kafkaesque world of intrigue and betrayal where the shadow of Nazism hovers menacingly over everything. With its ravishing cinematography (in black and white, color, and at times a stunning mix of both), dreamlike use of rear projections, and lush fusion of melodrama and noir conventions, Europa is a sublimely stylized cinematic fugue.

Description

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Juvenile delinquent classic filled with brawls, booze and sex. The tough young gangster Myggan (“The Mosquito”) escapes from juvenile prison, heading straight for trouble. What follows is a breathless catalogue of bad decisions: a stolen gun from a military depot, a string of burgled summer houses, a crashed car, a shot police officer, and a girlfriend driven to prostitution to keep them both alive. The newspapers call him the “Valla Desperado”. The censors called the whole thing "a speculation in cynicism" and tried to ban it outright. They lost—though they did carve out four minutes before letting it through. First-time director Arne Ragneborn was twenty-nine years old and apparently had no interest in making anything polite. His debut is lean, mean, and genuinely uncomfortable—a juvenile delinquent film that earns its genre credentials without winking at the audience. Ragneborn would go on to make four more features in rapid succession, consistently drawn to desperate youth, alcohol, violence and the jagged edges of the Swedish dream, and consistently locking horns with the censors along the way. The film was restored by the Swedish Film Institute. Bonus Features: 1. Image and Poster Gallery 2. Trailer 3. Swedish Film’s Bad Apple No 1 – Interviews with Gun Zacharias (Ragneborn’s wife and screenwriter), Bengt Lindström (cinematographer), Inge Ivarson (producer) and Bengt Bengtsson (film professor, author of the book Ungdom i fara/Youth in Peril) 4. 50s Youth Culture and Cultural Backlash in the East and West - Video essay by Andrew Nette, editor of Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction and Youth Culture, 1950 to 1980 5.
