Part comedy, part indie drama, and inspired by real events from the late 1970s, this acclaimed three-part mini-series from the award-winning producers of Baron Noir tells the story of a disillusioned film director who finds inspiration under the strangest of circumstances... While shooting another mindless action flick in Asia, French director Mathieu Stannis is abducted by spies from a neighbouring dictatorship. Enraged by his country's abysmal standard of movie production, its Hollywood-fixated Supreme Leader wants Mathieu to helm a self-penned re-imagining of King Kong that will glorify his regime. Mathieu faces a stark choice: shoot the movie, or they ll shoot him. Hampered by an inept crew, Cold War-era kit and the unpredictable demands of the Commander, Mathieu nevertheless rediscovers a long-lost creativity and passion for his art. Danger, however, is ever-present and when the CIA offers a chance of freedom in exchange for valuable information, it could be his best hope of returning home. But will he be able to make the movie in time?

This 2 disc special edition is a brand new restoration from a 4K scan of Don't Look Now, Nicolas Roeg's finest film and arguably, one of the best British films ever made. Starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, this is a brilliant adaptation of a Daphne Du Maurier short story. On a cold, bright autumn day in Suffolk, England, a little girl in a red mackintosh drowns in a pond - the daughter of John and Laura Baxter. Trying to recover from the tragedy, the couple arrive in Venice, Italy, where John has been commissioned to restore a church. In the eerie atmosphere of the lagoon city in winter, they encounter two strange sisters. Laura is suddenly released from her grief when one of them, a blind psychic, tells her that she is in contact with her dead daughter. Angered and skeptical, John carries on with his work, but witnesses an unsettling vision of his own: a little girl in a red mackintosh disappearing into the Venetian alleys. As Venice and his fate closes in on John, illusion, reality and sudden terror spiral the story to its grotesque climax, as the design in director Nicolas Roeg's mosaic becomes unforgettably clear. The packaging artwork has been illustrated by Jeremy Enecio specifically for this edition. For the 2019 restoration of Don't Look Now, Studiocanal went back to the original camera negative which was scanned at 4K resolution in 16bit and created the following: 4K DCP, UHD version and a new HD version which were produced with the same high technological standards as today's biggest international film releases. The restoration and new UHD version was colour graded and approved in London by the BAFTA Award-winning cinematographer, Anthony B Richmond.
Before RING, before DARK WATER, before SHUTTER there was HEX! Asian horror cinema was already hitting strikes by the time the1980s dawned and nowhere was more ahead of the curve than the then-British colony of Hong Kong. The city of neon lights and vibrant street life was no stranger to scary movies and HEX was perhaps the island's crowning achievement. Released in 1980, and emerging from the legendary Shaw Bros Studios, whose knack for colourful landscapes and misty atmosphere remains legendary, HEX tells a weird and wonderful story of witchcraft and wanton revenge! Directed by the late, great Kuei Chih-Hung, whose output also includes the frequently censored nasty THE KILLER SNAKES (1974), this formidable Eastern frightener has an abused woman caught in a strange mystery of manslaughter and macabre happenings. To say anything else would be to spoil one of the Orient's most influential terror titles, but rest assured that HEX has a few spooky surprises up its sleeve. Now gaining its worldwide HD debut from 88 Films, HEX may just be the greatest ghost story you have never seen!
In one of his most iconic performances, late comedian Bill Hicks demonstrates what made him such a singular talent and a force to be reckoned with. Not for the easily offended, Hicks arrives armed with socially and politically charged jokes aimed at non-smokers, religion, war and peace, drugs and music in this live performance filmed at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.
Recorded in 1989 at a turning point in comedian Bill Hicks career, this brilliant onstage performance - his first full-length comedy special - sees Hicks exploring the foundation of what would become his signature material and point of view. Wildly funny and thought provoking, the force of his personality, humour and stage presence is unparalleled, as he attacks corporate America and consumerism with venom, and almost screams at people to start thinking for themselves.
A two feature special dedicated to the late, truly great American stand-up comedian, Bill Hicks! A thorough celebration of his career, 'It's Just A Ride' features some of the very best of his confrontational performances, along with tributes from chat show hosts, David Letterman and Jay Leno, actor Eric Bogosian and a range of famed comedians who admired his work including Sean Hughes and Eddie Izzard. Bill Hicks at his best; 'Revelations' captures the cult performer at the height of his genius, a recording of his sell-out last live show in the UK at the Dominion Theatre, London. Letting his inner demons loose on stage, Hicks delves straight into provocative topics like British porn, drugs and the priesthood, illuminating the hypocrisy and ludicrousness of the world around us with his trade-mark passion and immaculate comic timing.
