    A sombre examination into the psyche of former London gangster Freddie Foreman: 85 years old, allegedly responsible for multiple murders and nearing the end of his life. Former gangster Freddie Foreman was a Krays associate and ruthless criminal, feared and revered by his contemporaries and infamous amongst the British underworld. Fred is the only gangster who lived through the turbulent history of the British underworld and survived to tell the tale. He masterminded headline-grabbing crimes, mingled with pop stars and footballers and amassed a fortune of ill-gotten gains. Now he lives in a retirement home: Alone, estranged from his family, with only the memories of his former crimes to look back on. In this incisive character study, director Paul Van Carter leads a master interview with Freddie, delving deep into his life story to uncover the socioeconomic and psychological factors that turned a young East End boy into a ruthless criminal. From his childhood growing up in poverty, to his violent and traumatic memories of the Blitz, Fred is revealed as a man shaped by the brutality of war. A man who, years later, suffers night terrors rooted in the horrors of WWII. With archive footage, actuality, and the help of contributors including eminent criminologist Dick Hobbs, Van Carter delves into the psyche of a man said to be responsible for nearly a hundred murders. The film takes Fred back to some of his old haunts in an attempt to understand what drives him, capturing the moments when his mask slips and his body language suggests a darker truth beneath the bonhomie. In the weeks leading up to a potential reconciliation with Fred's estranged children, he proudly proclaims that his crimes were committed for his family... yet they refuse to answer his calls. He is a father who claims to know no other way to provide for his children than crime and in the process distanced himself from them forever. Fred... Do you have any regrets?

    Emerging from the primordial soup of glamour, gutter sleaze, and feverish creativity that was New York's 1960s underground culture, the Velvet Underground redefined music with its at once raw and exalted blend of experimentation and art-damaged rock and roll. In his kaleidoscopic documentary The Velvet Underground, TODD HAYNES (Velvet Goldmine) vividly evokes the band's incandescent world: the creative origins of the twin visionaries LOU REED and JOHN CALE, ANDY WARHOL's fabled Factory, and the explosive tension between pop and the avant-garde that propelled the group and ultimately consumed it. Never-before-seen performances, interviews, rare recordings, and mind-blowing transmissions from the era's avant-garde cinema scene come together in an ecstatic swirl of sound and image that is to the traditional music documentary what the Velvets were to rock: utterly revolutionary. Product Features New 4K digital master, approved by director Todd Haynes and cinematographer Ed Lachman, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack Audio commentary featuring Haynes and editors Affonso Gonçalves and Adam Kurnitz Outtakes of interviews shot for the film with musicians John Cale, Jonathan Richman, and Maureen Tucker; filmmaker Jonas Mekas; and actor Mary Woronov Conversation from 2021 among Haynes, Cale, and Tucker Complete versions of some of the avant-garde films excerpted in the movie, including Piero Heliczer's Venus in Furs (1965) Teaser English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Optional annotated subtitle track that identifies the avant-garde films seen in the movie PLUS: A 2021 essay by critic Greil Marcus
