    Although Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic Mad Max trilogy, is certainly the least of the bunch (Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is the undisputed masterpiece, and maybe the best action movie ever made), it has still got a good share of imaginative industrial-wasteland-pastiche imagery. And casting Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, the queen of Bartertown, was a masterstroke. Mel Gibson's character Max is pitted in a battle to the death against the bizarre Master Blaster in the Thunderdome, flying around on rubbery straps inside a sort of gigantic overturned colander with bloodthirsty spectators clinging to the outside. Miller's producing partner, Byron Kennedy, was killed in a helicopter crash while scouting locations for this film. Miller was devastated, only agreeing to direct the action sequences--and, somehow, you feel his heart wasn't entirely in it. --Jim Emerson

    The Italian adventurer and libertine Giovanni Jacopo Casanova lived from 1725 to 1798 but in this six-part series Dennis Potter attempted to find a contemporary relevance through his central themes of sex and religion. He commented that Casanova ""was concerned with religious and sexual freedom and these are the things we have to address ourselves to now."" Casanova was imprisoned in Venice in 1755 and Potter used that event as a central device constantly inter-cutting to contrast C

    In the early 1970s, when the giallo boom was at its peak, producer-turned-director Luciano Ercoli helmed three standalone but thematically linked examples of the genre, each featuring a memorable star turn by Spanish born actress and model Nieves Navarro (billed under her adopted stage name of Susan Scott). Accompanied by a rogues' gallery of familiar and recurring faces, this trilogy of terror represents the giallo at its most playful and unpredictable.In The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, Minou's (Dagmar Lassander, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire) dull but pampered life is upturned by a mysterious sadist (Simón Andreu, Death Carries a Cane) who blackmails her into submitting to his every perverted whim. Desperate to escape his clutches, Minou confides in her libidinous best friend Dominique (Navarro)... but is she more involved than she's letting on? Then, in Death Walks on High Heels, Navarro stars as exotic dancer Nicole, daughter of a murdered jewel thief, who finds herself terrorized by a black-clad assailant determined to procure her father's stolen gems. Fleeing Paris and her knife-wielding pursuer, Nicole arrives in London, only to discover that death stalks her at every corner. Finally, in Death Walks at Midnight, Navarro stars as Valentina - a model who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. But when the authorities refuse to believe a crime has been committed, Valentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sleuth.With glamor, perversity and narrative twists and turns aplenty, each of these giallo delights is fully restored from original elements and presented alongside an array of all-encompassing bonus features.Product Features2K restorations from the original 35mm camera negatives for The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion and Death Walks on High Heels2K restoration from an original 35mm internegative for Death Walks at MidnightHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of each filmOriginal Italian and English front and end titlesOriginal lossless mono Italian and English soundtracksOptional English subtitles for the Italian soundtracksOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtracksRigid box packaging with newly designed artwork by Gilles Vranckx in a windowed Giallo Essentials Collection slipcoverReversible sleeves for each film featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by The Twins of Evil and Gilles VranckxDisc One: The Forbidden Photos Of A Lady Above SuspicionAudio commentary by Kat Ellinger, author and editor-in-chief of Diabolique MagazinePrivate Pictures, a documentary featuring interviews with actress Nieves Navarro, director Luciano Ercoli and writer Ernesto GastaldiThe Forbidden Soundtrack of the Big Three, an appreciation of the music of Forbidden Photos and 70s Italian cult cinema by musician and soundtrack collector Lovely JonThe Forbidden Lady, a Q&A with actress Dagmar Lassander at the 2016 Festival of Fantastic FilmsOriginal Italian and English theatrical trailersImage galleryDisc Two: Death Walks On High HeelsAudio commentary by film critic Tim LucasIntroduction to the film by screenwriter Ernesto GastaldiFrom Spain with Love, featurette with director Luciano Ercoli and actress Nieves Navarro, interviewed at their home in BarcelonaMaster of Giallo, screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi on Death Walks on High Heels and how to write a successful gialloDeath Walks to the Beat, a career-spanning interview with High Heels composer Stelvio CiprianiOriginal Italian and English trailersDisc Three: Death Walks At MidnightAudio commentary by film critic Tim LucasIntroduction to the film by screenwriter Ernesto GastaldiExtended TV version of the featureCrime Does Pay, screenwriter Gastaldi reflects on his career in the crime film-writing business, including a look at Death Walks at MidnightDesperately Seeking Susan, visual essay by Michael Mackenzie exploring the distinctive giallo collaborations between director Luciano Ercoli and star Nieves Navarro
