• World Noir Vol 4 | Blu Ray | (15/09/2025) from £46.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  While the United States can indisputably lay claim to being the birthplace of film noir, arguably France and French cinema is almost as important to the development of the genre. The term ˜film noir' - literally, ˜dark film' - was first applied to the Hollywood crime movies of the 40s and 50s by French critic Nino Frank, who was believed to have been inspired by the French publishing imprint Serie Noire, which published translated editions of American hardboiled fiction to great commercial success. It was the French who would popularise the use of the term and in turn, create the genre framework that has become so important and influential to the history of cinema.Arguably, the story of noir is one of the cinema of France and the USA in conversation with one another, and presented in this set are three classic French noirs from the 50s and 60s that clearly take their inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood noir: Henri Decoin's Chnouf (1955), Édouard Molinaro's Back Against The Wall (1958), and Marcel Bluwal's Paris Pick-up (1962).CHNOUFHenri (Jean Gabin, Touchez pas au grisbi) is brought in following a successful stint in the US to head up operations by gang boss Lisky. Tasked with increasing sales and reforming the drugs distribution network, he unpicks every aspect of the business, but pushers don't want to change and the cops are on his tail. From the creator of Rififi, Auguste Le Breton, and brought to the screen by Henri Decoin (Not Guilty), the influence of American noir is given a French translation as we see the then-nascent drugs trade depicted in remarkable detail. Out of the inky shadows scenery chewing support is given by a rich cast of wonderful character actors including Lino Ventura (Illustrious Corpses), Albert Rémy (The Train) and Magali Noël (Rififi).BACK TO THE WALLJacques, a rich industrialist, sneaks around an apartment where he bundles up and disposes of a dead body. His troubles started three months ago, his wife, Gloria, was having an affair... To get his revenge he sends Gloria anonymous letters in a scheme to turn her against her lover, a scheme that leads to murder. Ingeniously plotted, this methodical noir by Édouard Molinaro (Witness in the City) bathes in atmospheric chiaroscuro while its pulpy thrills, adapted from the novel by Frédéric Dard (Paris Pick-up), keeps the audience guessing until the final moments. Starring Jeanne Moreau (The Bride Wore Black) as the adulterous wife, this twisty noir is made available in the UK for the first time.PARIS PICK-UPRecently released ex-convict Robert Herbin (Robert Hossein, Rififi) meets Marthe (Lea Massari, L'Avventura), a beautiful Italian woman and her daughter. They share some flirtatious glances and then she invites him back to her home where they discover her husband's dead body. Unable to bear witness to a crime due to his parole Robert flees. Guilty about her situation Robert stays close by where he discovers the body has inexplicably disappeared. With its tender depiction of character and relationships director Marcel Bluwal engineers gripping tension with the expertise of Hitchcock or Clouzot. Adapted from the novel by celebrated crime writer Frédéric Dard (Back to the Wall), Paris Pick-up is released for the first time outside of France.BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES:2K restorations for each film by GaumontOriginal uncompressed mono PCM audio for all filmsNewly improved optional English subtitles for all filmsNewly designed artwork based on original postersLimited edition 80-page perfect bound book featuring archival pieces and new writing by critics and experts including Imogen Sara Smith, Farran Nehme, Jake Cole and moreLimited Edition of 3,000 copies presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases for each film and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markingsCHNOUFAudio commentary by Nick Pinkerton (2019)Archival interview with Henri Decoin on Jean Gabin (1960)New visual essay on Chnouf and drugs in film noir by Frank Krutnik (2025)TrailerBACK TO THE WALLNew audio commentary by Daniel Kremer (2025)Archival onset interview with Édouard Molinaro and Gerard Oury (1958)Archival retrospective interview with Édouard Molinaro (2011)TrailerPARIS PICK-UPNew audio commentary by Tim Lucas (2025)Archival interview with director Marcel BluwalArchival behind-the-scenes report on Paris Pick-up (1962)Archival interview with actor Robert Hossein and writer Frédéric Dard about their play (1963)Inspector Leclerc Investigates: The Grey Jackets - episode of 1962 TV crime serial directed by Marcel Bluwal

• Blood Hunger: The Films Of Jose Larraz | Blu Ray | (21/09/2020) from £43.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  One of the most underrated and neglected genre filmmakers of his generation, Spanish-born director José Ramón Larraz (Symptoms) finally receives his due with this collection of his work bringing together a fascinating cross-section of films from the first half of his lengthy cinematic career. In Larraz's debut feature, the hitherto ultra-rare Whirlpool (1970), Vivian Neves stars as Tulia, a young model invited to a photographer's secluded country home for what purports to be a quiet weekend retreat but soon turns into a descent into deadly depravity. 1974's Vampyres perhaps the best known and most widely-released of all José Larraz's films sees a duo of blood-hungry female vampires prowling the British countryside, from where they lure unsuspecting male motorists back to their imposing, dilapidated mansion. Meanwhile, in 1978's The Coming of Sin (La Visita del Vicio, in its native Spanish), a young gypsy girl experiences a violent sexual awakening as her dreams of a naked young man on horseback become reality. By turns terrifying, titillating, artful and scandalous, these three films assembled here collectively offer film fans a unique perspective on the fascinating, highly-varied career of one of the horror genre's most overlooked auteurs.

  It is no wonder that Inspector Montalbano is Italy's favourite detective, both in print - in Andrea Camilleri's award winning novels - and now on television as inhabited by actor Luca Zingaretti in a role that rivals the finest detectives America and Europe has to offer. In these four irresistible tales, the Inspector is forced to contend with not only murderers, criminals and errant husbands who will do everything to avoid his detection, but local politicians, police bureaucracy, unreliable judges, lethally argumentative mafia families, hysterical wives, psychic and psychotic sisters and so much more. From a discovered body in a buried crime through corrupt charities saving immigrant women, kidnapped horses and dark sexual compulsions, Montalbano has a lot on his plate. But not so much that there isn't room for something sweet, whether in his favourite restaurant or in the privacy of his own home.
