• The Mystery Of Picasso | Blu Ray | (22/01/2018) from £16.55   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The Mystery Of Picasso Henri-Georges Clouzot, best known for his classic French thriller Les Diaboliques, took on a different mystery in 1956: the creative process and the essence of an artist, namely Pablo Picasso. Utilising transparent canvases so the camera of Claude Renoir could directly capture an artwork s creation, Picasso created 20 artworks for the film. At first, these are simple sketches in marker, but each grows in complexity until the final reel, when The Mystery of Picasso switches to a CinemaScope ratio and bursts into colour. One of the greatest documentary portraits of an artist of work, this release is accompanied by two other films of Picasso: Paul Haesaerts BAFTA-winning A Visit to Picasso from 1949 and a charming home movie by fellow artist Man Ray.

• Animerama: 1001 Nights / Cleopatra Limited Edition | Blu Ray | (18/06/2018) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Animerama ( ) is a series of thematically-related adult anime feature films originally conceived and initiated by Osamu Tezuka and made at his Mushi Production animation studio from the late 1960s to early 1970s, perhaps intended as animated counterparts to the then-emergent pink films. As well as the erotic themes, they are also defined by mixing more typical traditional animation with sequences of UPA and Y ji Kuri influenced experimental use of modern design, limited animation, and still paintings akin to Tezuka s experimental short films and like those largely were all directed, sometimes sharing the billing with Tezuka, by Eiichi Yamamoto. The first, A Thousand & One Nights, was the first erotic animated feature film and, at 130 minutes, remains one of the longest ever animated films. The first two are also notable for having scores by famed composer and electronic rearranger Isao Tomita.

• The Hidden Fortress (DVD) | DVD | (12/06/2017) from £6.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In one of the many classic collaborations between director Akira Kurosawa and his leading man Toshirô Mifune, this 1958 film tells the story of a warrior and a princess trying against all odds to return to their homeland with their fortune. Along the way, they are simultaneously assisted and thwarted by two itinerant and not-too-bright farmers with their own designs on the treasure, giving the story a subtle comic bent. Acknowledged by George Lucas as the inspiration for Star Wars (note the similarities, especially the comic duo who are the models for R2D2 and C3PO), Hidden Fortress combines an epic tale of struggle and honour with modern comic sensibilities, creating a masterful addition to world cinema. --Robert Lane, Amazon.com

• La Signora Senza Camelie | Blu Ray | (21/03/2011) from £26.99   |  Saving you £-4.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  The second feature film by cinema master Michelangelo Antonioni La signora senza camelie [The Lady Without Camelias] expanded the expressive palette of contemporary Italian movies demonstrating that a personal vision could take an explicitly poetic tack; that seriousness = neo-realism was perhaps already turning into something of a truism; and that Antonioni would answer to no-one but himself. It's the story of a shopclerk named Clara (played by the captivating Lucia Bos also of Antonioni's brilliant debut feature Cronaca di un amore) who finds a chance casting in a small movie role develop into a fullblown career as screen-siren. Tension erupts when her husband can no longer tolerate watching her frivolous cinema escapades and pushes her into a serious artistic production of the life of Joan of Arc... whereupon she is castigated by the critical establishment. A riveting 'behind-the-scenes' show-business drama La signora senza camelie explores themes that would haunt its director from L'avventura through La notte and The Passenger - the tenuous hold of an individual on her identity and the dangers inherent to performance in life and on-screen.
