  • Nowhere to RunNowhere to Run | DVD | (09/10/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

    Poor Rosanna Arquette ended up in this Van Damme potboiler about an escaped convict who moves onto the farm of a widow (Arquette) and her two kids. Stuff happens: a cop who likes her gets jealous and beats up the Muscles from Brussels (but only after handcuffing him), there's a fire in the barn, bad guys are trying to drive her away, etc. The story was first developed by screenwriter Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct) and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle). Eszterhas wrote the script, but who knows what direction this story was originally going? Van Damme's best film is still Timecop, and this is a long way from the quality of that.

  • The Dogs Of War [1981]The Dogs Of War | DVD | (11/02/2002) from £11.93   |  Saving you £2.32 (21.74%)   |  RRP £12.99

    Based on the novel by Frederick Forsyth, The Dogs of War is an uneasy mix of espionage and combat that never really succeeds in either role. Based around the character of Paul Shannon, the film follows events in the fictional African state of Zagaro. Hired on a reconnaissance mission by a nameless multi-national corporation, Shannon is captured and tortured before his release, only to return to the country to lead a small band of mercenaries (the dogs of the title) in a bloody coup. The first section of the movie works best, building a real sense of tension and unease, not least through a typically understated performance by Christopher Walken as the paranoid loner who keeps a pistol in his fridge (watch too for a brief appearance from a young Jim Broadbent). There are obvious references to the by-then obsolete school of Vietnam filmmaking in the second section, with the Asian enemy replaced by an African one. The gung-ho mentality of the soldiers is, however, so two-dimensional that the viewer develops little empathy for their plight. The action is slow and drawn out, with the seemingly endless pregnant pauses operating as a means for enabling the film to achieve a reasonable running time. On the DVD: little is on offer here aside from the usual scene selection, audio and subtitle options and original cinema trailer. --Phil Udell

  • The Agitator: Three Provocations from the Wild World of Jean-Pierre Mocky (Limited Editon) [Blu-ray] [Region A & B & C]The Agitator: Three Provocations from the Wild World of Jean-Pierre Mocky (Limited Editon) | Blu Ray | (01/07/2024) from £38.38   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

    Jean-Pierre Mocky was a prolific icon in French cinema. Actor, director, novelist, and in-demand raconteur, Mocky made mainstream films with an independent spirit, even owning a cinema to help the distribution of his films. Yet those films had a specific style, unmistakably his, often with controversial and outlandish themes, and he came to be known as a wild and untameable force, acting as an uncompromising agitator within the French film industry for over six decades. Three of his wild cinematic adventures from the 1980s are collected in this new boxset. Cult horror sensation Litan, hooligan horror Kill the Referee and Hitchcockian mystery Agent Trouble are presented from new 4K restorations on Blu-ray for the first time outside of France. Worried by a disturbing dream, Nora wakes to find her husband missing during a trip to Litan. She goes out to find him but encounters one bizarre event after another taking place at the village festival, including uncanny acts and a masked marching band. As Nora and Jock attempt to escape the village, a series of strange murders take place against the backdrop of a mad doctor performing experiments on the recently deceased. Jean-Pierre Mocky's Litan is a classic cult Euro-horror and a Kafkaesque fever dream of surrealist imagery, arrestingly shot by Edmond Richard (The Trial, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie). When a referee calls a penalty that causes a French football team to crash out of the championship, their ultra-dedicated hooligan fans vow to track him down and murder him by the end of the evening, as Inspector Granowski (played by director Jean-Pierre Mocky) attempts to stem the carnage. With an unrelenting one-night narrative recalling After Hours and Green Room, Kill the Referee mixes black humour with horror as its escalating sense of dread builds toward a shattering climax. A bus of fifty French tourists lay dead. While the driver makes a call, a wanderer, Victorien (Tom Novembre, Denti), boards the bus and robs all the passengers. Returning home he visits his aunt Amanda (Catherine Deneuve, The Hunger), and lets her in on his secret, unwittingly bringing her to the attention of icy hitman Alex (Richard Bohringer, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover). A conspiracy thriller reminiscent of Hitchcock, Jean-Pierre Mocky's wonderfully eccentric mystery has a light comic touch that carefully balances its grotesque flourishes. Featuring a wonderful cast including Cesar-nominated Dominique Lavant, Pierre Arditi and Kristin Scott Thomas in only her second screen appearance.LIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES: New 4K restorations of each film presented on three discs, made available on Blu-ray (1080p) for the first time outside of France Uncompressed mono PCM audio Archival interview with Jean-Pierre Mocky about his relationship to the fantastic (1982, 12 mins) Archival ˜Making of Litan' documentary from French television (1982, 26 mins) Newly filmed interview with journalist and broadcaster Philippe Auclair on Kill the Referee (2024) Interview with Mocky's assistant Eric Leroy on Kill the Referee (2022, 13 mins) Television reportage from the set of Kill the Referee (1983, 5 mins) Archival French TV interview with Jean-Pierre Mocky (1987, 18 mins) Archival interview with Catherine Deneuve on Agent Trouble (1987, 5 mins) Archival interview with Richard Bohringer on Agent Trouble (1987, 5 mins) Interview with Eric Leroy on Agent Trouble (2022, 13 mins) Interview with Olivia Mokiejewski on Agent Trouble (2022, 4 mins) New and improved optional English subtitles Reversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition 80-page book featuring new writing by Roberto Curti, Nathaniel Thompson and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, and newly translated archival interviews including Serge Toubiana on Jean-Pierre Mocky, and Oliver Assayas on Michel Serrault, as well as an on-set report of Kill the Referee Limited Edition of 3000 copies, presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings

    Sebastian (Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Weekend) is staging an adaptation of Racine's tragedy, Andromaque while a film crew captures their rehearsals on handheld 16mm. The production's star and Sebastian's girlfriend, Claire (Bulle Ogier, Out 1), cannot take the pressure and removes herself. Life imitates art, creating a tragedy for the couple when Sebastian recasts the role with his ex. L'amour fou is a hypnotic study of tempestuous love, told with director Jacques Rivette's signature reflexivity and containing striking examinations of performance, art, theatre and life. A classic of the French New Wave and one of Rivette's most radical works, L'amour fou was unavailable for years, with the original elements tragically burned in a fire. Now meticulously restored, Radiance Films is proud to present this masterpiece from a new 4K restoration.'In my opinion - and I think it will be shared by many - this is one of the five or six best films of the New Wave.' - François Truffaut'L'amour fou is still my favourite film.' - Bulle Ogier'The work of a rebel, of an artist seeking to smash the codes and clichés of the 'normal' productions of the time.' - Jean-Pierre Kalfon'L'amour fou, is cinema without formal precedent.

    Masculine/Feminine was Jean-Luc Godard's first (but not the last) foray into the burgeoning Children of the Sixties generationor, as Godard described it, the children of Marx and Coca-Cola . Impressionable teenager Jean-Pierre Leaud tries to make sense of the world by working as an interviewer for a research firm. Meanwhile, Leaud cohabits with aspiring singer Chantal Goya, with two additional young ladies joining the nocturnal festivities. Leaud jumps or is pushed from a window, leaving a pregnant Goya to move on to the next aimless youth she meets. While the nominal hero has failed to find fulfillment in personal relations, another male protagonist (Micheal Deborb), a political activist, is luckier an indication that the director favored revolutionary politics over simple emotionalism at this point in his career. Though Godard's free-form style is usually opposed to linear storytelling, Masculine Feminine has solid literary roots, having been inspired by two Guy de Maupassant.

    Jealousy, vengeance, obsession, cannibalism, and blood-drinking collide in Fascination, director Jean Rollin's decadent fantasy of sex and death. When a thief holes up in a remote château, taking two beautiful chambermaids' hostage, the arrival of his accomplices and the château's aristocratic owners leads to an orgy of violence and ritualistic bloodletting. With its standout performance from Brigitte Lahaie (The Night of the Hunted), as the scythe-wielding Eva, and an evocative score from Philippe D'Aram (The Living Dead Girl), Fascination is one of the purest expressions of Rollin's unique fantastique aesthetic.
