  Having built his reputation with a quartet of eccentric erotic vampire tales, Jean Rollin surprised audiences with The Iron Rose (Le Rose de fer), an atmospheric detour into the realms of the fantastique. When a couple played by Françoise Pascal (Burke and Hare) and Hugues Quester (Je t'aime moi non plus) stumble across an old cemetery, they begin to explore its gravestones and crypts. But, as night falls, they find that they are unable to leave... Restored in 4K from the original negative, The Iron Rose also features Rollin regulars Natalie Perrey (Lips of Blood) and Mireille Dargent (Requiem for a Vampire), and is considered by many to be one of its director's crowning achievements. This new edition also includes a new 4K restoration of Rollin's early short film The Yellow Loves, an evocation of the poetry of Tristan Corbière, whose work was also the inspiration for The Iron Rose.

• Three Colours Blue | DVD | (29/10/2001) from £8.95   |  Saving you £11.04 (123.35%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The first instalment of the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy on Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, the three colours of the French flag. Blue is the most sombre of the three, a movie dominated by feelings of grief. As the film begins, a car accident claims the life of a well-known composer. His wife, played by Juliette Binoche (Oscar winner for The English Patient), does not so much put the pieces of her life back together as start an entirely new existence. She moves to Paris, where she dissolves into a wordless life virtually without other people. Kieslowski attaches an almost subconscious significance to the colour blue but primarily he focuses on Binoche's luminous face and the way her subtle shifts in emotion flicker and disappear. The picture may be more enigmatic than the follow-ups White and Red but Binoche's quiet, heartbreaking presence becomes spellbinding; her performance won the best actress prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1993. --Robert Horton
