• Property is No Longer a Theft | Blu Ray | (20/03/2017) from £16.39   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Having tackled the corrupting nature of power with Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion and taken an angry, impassioned look at labour relations with The Working Class Goes to Heaven, Italian master Elio Petri next turned his attentions to capitalism for the darkly comic Property is No Longer a Theft. A young bank clerk (Flavio Bucci, the blind pianist in Dario Argento's Suspiria), denied a loan by his employer, decides to exact his revenge the local butcher (Ugo Tognazzi, La Grande bouffe) who is not only a nasty, violent, greedy piece of work but also one of the bank's star customers. Quitting his job, the clerk devotes all of his time tormenting the butcher, stealing his possessions one-by-one, including his mistress (Daria Nicolodi, Deep Red). Told in an off-kilter fashion by Petri, abetted by the woozy sound design and another outstanding score by Ennio Morricone, Property is No Longer a Theft presents a caustic, blackly comic look at a corrupt society.

• Adoption | Blu Ray | (12/07/2021) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Márta Mészáros is without doubt one of the most significant female directors from Central Europe, with the majority of her outspoken work dealing frankly with issues of gender, politics and society. Adoption, one of her best-known works, is a story about the hushed rebellion of two strong women, one in her forties and one in her teens. 43-year-old Kata longs to have a child of her own. Rejected by her married lover, Kata looks into adoption, and befriends orphaned teenager Anna, herself determined to start a new life for herself. Winner of the prestigious Golden Bear at the 1975 Berlin Film Festival, Márta Mészáros became the first woman filmmaker ever to receive the award. Seen today, Adoption, which features a single woman who constantly defies expectations, is powerful not just as a refreshing counterpoint to Europe's rising conservatism but, even more importantly, in the context of bold feminist cinema. Ela Bittencourt, Sight & Sound Adoption rings with a relevant message of self-empowerment and decisively taking control of one's fate in the face of a dour and uncaring society. Julia Ray, Cinema Rediscovered Special Features: Adoption (Örökbefogadás, 1975) presented from an HD transfer of the new restoration by the Hungarian National Digital Archive and Film Institute A Conversation with Márta Mészáros (2009): an archival filmed interview with the director Trailer Booklet with new writing on the film by Carmen Gray New and improved English subtitle translation World premiere on Blu-ray Region free Blu-ray (A/B/C)

• Queer As Folk USA - Season 2 Box Set | DVD | (24/12/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £39.99

  They're here they're queer and they make Sex & The City look like a demure tea party. Showtime's quintessentially American Queer As Folk--based on the British miniseries--pours on copious amounts of hot and steamy sex. This slick (and slickly entertaining) series shares the same basic concept as its British counterpart--centering on a group of gay friends living in a primarily industrial city--but after that all bets are off. Whereas the British version focused on the gritty realistic drama of its characters the American QAF is a glossy fun soap opera that occasionally tackles big issues but never lets you forget that life at times can be a party and you shouldn't be one of those poor suckers starving to death. A good part of the show's charm lies in its cast--boy-next-door Michael (Hal Sparks) ruthlessly seductive rake Brian (Gale Harold) out-and-proud Emmett (Peter Paige) wallflower Ted (Scott Lowell) and nubile teen Justin (Randy Harrison)--who grew from standard gay prototypes to intriguing characters by the first season's end. And while some subplots didn't work (such as Emmett's farfetched foray into gay-conversion therapy) others were quietly affecting including Brian's coping with his father's death. Some may object to the show's relentless fixation on sex (and gay men--there are just two lesbian characters) but this is a series that in its own polished way is both engrossingly fun and truly groundbreaking. It's liberating to watch an American TV series in which the straight world is only peripheral. Let's hear it for the boys!
