• Larks On A String | Blu Ray | (18/07/2022) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Shot in 1968, whilst Czechoslovakia enjoyed a brief moment of political liberalization, Larks on a String is a searing political satire from director Jirí Menzel and writer Bohumil Hrabal. Like their earlier Oscar-winning triumph Closely Observed Trains, it audaciously combines black humour with grim reality. Set in a scrap metal yard where dissidents are interned to be ˜re-educated', the film is both a powerful critique of totalitarianism and a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit. Promptly banned by the Communist regime, the film remained unseen until 1990, when it was released to great acclaim, winning the grand prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Now regarded as a lost masterpiece, Menzel's wry comic drama is a hymn to humanity and nonconformity. Larks on a String is presented from a glorious new 4K restoration and makes its world premiere on Blu-ray. Product Features Larks on a String (Skrivánci na niti, 1969) presented from an HD transfer of the new 4K restoration by the Czech National Film Archive. Jirí Menzel: 7 Questions: an idiosyncratic reflection on the film and its history, shot by the late director in 2011. Menzel in discussion with filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur.

  Although it has much in common with Walerian Borowczyk's earlier work Immoral Tales marks the point where his reputation as an arty pornographer began and was sexually explicit enough to have caused problems with the censors on its original UK release. It tells four stories revolving around particular taboos (virginity female masturbation bloodlust incest) each delving further back in time as if to suggest that the same issues recur constantly throughout human history and in all walks of life whether it's Lucrezia Borgia (Florence Bellamy) or Erzsébet Báthory (Paloma Picasso in her only screen role) or the anonymous teenagers of the earlier episodes. This high-definition restoration by Argos Films is being released on Blu-ray with English subtitles for the first time. The film is presented in two versions: the familiar four-part edition and the original five-part conception including the short film The True Story of the Beast of Gévaudan that was later expanded into Borowczyk's later feature The Beast. The disc also includes both cuts of A Private Collection (1973) the short film that scandalised film festival audiences with its witty and often graphic study of vintage erotica.

• The Last Metro | DVD | (29/09/2014) from £7.49   |  Saving you £8.50 (113.49%)   |  RRP £15.99

  François Truffaut again tackles the elusive nature of creativity and creation in his thoughtful, sumptuous 1980 film The Last Metro. Nominated for the Best Foreign Language film Oscar, and a winner of various Césars, The Last Metro is set in occupied France during World War II. Marion Steiner (Catherine Deneuve) manages the Theatre Montmarte in the stead of her Jewish husband, director Lucas Steiner (Heinz Bennent). He has purportedly fled France but is really hiding in the basement of the theatre. The one hope to save the Montmarte is a new play starring the dashing Bernard Granger (Gérard Depardieu). The attraction between Marion and Bernard is palpable, and as usual Truffaut creates tension and drama from even the most casual of occurrences. The theme of the director locked away while his lover and his creation are appropriated by others makes for interesting Truffaut study, but first and foremost this is a well-spun romance.--Keith Simanton, Amazon.com
