• For Queen And Country | DVD | (29/03/2004) from £31.46   |  Saving you £-25.47 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Denzel Washington adopts a British accent for the grim if compelling, 1989 social drama, For Queen and Country. Akin in mood and story to several American films (notably Rolling Thunder) about Vietnam veterans who return home to face indifference or hostility, For Queen and Country stars Washington as paratrooper Reuben James, a decorated veteran of the Falklands war and Britain's occupation of Northern Ireland. Returning to civilian life in the early '80s, Reuben discovers Thatcher's England (specifically London's East End) to be an intensely racist, violent ground for class warfare, crime, and drugs. Unable to find work, hassled by white cops, pressured by old mates to run afoul of the law, and rejected by a woman (Amanda Redman) who sees him as another product of a cruel and bloody era, Reuben's hope diminishes despite efforts to do the right thing. The downbeat, predictable drama is elevated by Washington's charismatic performance. --Tom Keogh

• Giallo Essentials | Blue | Limited Edition Blu-ray | Blu Ray | (24/04/2023) from £29.85   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  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

• Fear and Desire (1953) | Blu Ray | (28/01/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Independently financed with contributions from Stanley Kubrick's family and friends in an era when an independent cinema was still far from the norm, Fear and Desire first saw release in 1953 at the Guild Theater in New York, thanks to the enterprising distributor Joseph Burstyn. Now, with this new restoration carried out in 2012 by The Library of Congress, a film that for decades has remained nearly impossible to see will at last appear in a proper release in the United Kingdom. Kubrick's debut feature tells the story of a war waged (in the present? in the future?) between two forces. In the midst of the conflict, a plane carrying four soldiers crashes behind enemy lines. From here out, it is kill or be killed: a female hostage is taken on account of being a potential informer; an enemy general and his aide are discovered during a scouting mission... What lies in store for this ragtag group of killers, between their perilous landing in the forest, and the final raft-float downstream... all this constitutes the tale of Kubrick's precocious entry into feature filmmaking. Bringing into focus for the first time the same thematic concerns that would obsess the director in such masterworks as Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, and Full Metal Jacket, Fear and Desire marks the outset of the dazzling career and near-complete artistic freedom which to this day remains unparalleled in the annals of Hollywood history. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Stanley Kubrick's Fear and Desire in its gorgeous new restoration on both Blu-ray and DVD. Special Features: New HD Restoration of the Film by The Library of Congress, Presented in 1080p on the Blu-Ray Optional English SDH Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Stanley Kubrick's Early Short Film, The Seafarers in a New HD Restoration New and Exclusive Video Discussion of the Film by Critic and Stanley Kubrick Author Bill Krohn Substantial Booklet Containing Writing on the Film, Vintage Excerpts and Rare Archival Imagery
