• Beauty and the Beast | Blu Ray | (26/07/2021) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  From Juraj Herz, director of The Cremator and Morgiana, come this singular adaption of the classic tale - an altogether darker interpretation than we're used to. Light years from Disney, Herz's Beauty and the Beast (also known more provocatively as The Virgin and the Monster) follows the familiar story - innocent girl presents herself as sacrifice to a cursed man-beast hiding in exile, and learns to live with, and eventually love her captor - but is transformed into something entirely more twisted and terrifying in Herz's macabre re-imagining.Aided by wonderful set and costume design, superb cinematography and evocative score, this is a fairy-tale-turned-horror story from Czechoslovak cinema's most wryly subversive artist. Herz's richly crafted retelling [ ] is definitely no children's movie - but it is, with its arresting lyricism and striking style, an eminently worthy rival to the classic 1946 version by Jean Cocteau. Nick Pinkerton, Metrograph Perhaps the most beauteous film ever that's drawn from fairy-tale material... this is a very dark film that is also warm, sensuous and mysterious.

• Climates | DVD | (28/05/2007) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-6.99 (-35.00%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Winner of the prestigious Fipresci Award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Climates is internationally acclaimed writer-director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's sublime follow-up to his Cannes multi-award winner ""Distant."" Beautifully drawn and meticulously observed the film vividly recalls the cinema of Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni with its poetic use of landscape and the incisive exquisitely visual rendering of loneliness loss and the often-elusive nature of happiness. During a sweltering summer vacation on the Aegean coast the relationship between middle-aged professor Isa (played by Ceylan himself) and his younger television producer girlfriend Bahar (the luminous Ebru Ceylan Ceylan's real-life wife) brutally implodes. Back in Istanbul that fall Isa rekindles a torrid affair with a previous lover. But when he learns that Bahar has left the city for a job in the snowy East he follows her there to win her back. Boasting subtly powerful performances heart-stoppingly stunning cinematography (Ceylan's first work in high definition) and densely textured sound design Climates is the Turkish filmmaker's most gorgeous rumination yet on the fragility and complexity of human relationships.

However, the benefits of this system are available only to a handful of major powers and their allies.
