• Sanjuro (DVD) | DVD | (26/06/2017) from £12.49   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  A film by Akira Kurosawa In response to the huge critical and commercial success of Yojimbo (1961), Kurosawa and Mifune re-teamed a year later to make Sanjuro, a hilarious comedy of manners altogether more light-hearted than its predecessor. The story has Sanjuro (Mifune) running lazy rings around nine naïve and clean-cut samurai and two genteel ladies, whilst also cleaning up a spot of corruption in local government. Whilst Kurosawa plays most of it for laughs, expertly parodying the conventions of Japanese period action films, he stages a startling switch of mood with an intense finale which may well be the briefest, and most breathtaking duel in all cinema. Special Features: Digitally remastered in High Definition Introduction to Sanjuro by filmmaker Alex Cox (2003, 5 mins) Interview with filmmaker Alex Cox (2003, 9 mins): the director discusses the life and work of Akira Kurosawa Original Japanese theatrical trailer Essay by film historian and critic Philip Kemp Japan | 1962 | black and white | Japanese language, with optional English subtitles | 92 minutes | DVD9 | original aspect ratio 2.35:1 | PCM mono audio (320kbps) | Cert 12 | region 2

• L'Assassino | Blu Ray | (21/07/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Ladykiller of Rome. Released within months of Fellini's La Dolce Vita and Antonioni's La Notte Elio Petri's dazzling first feature L'Assassino also stars Marcello Mastroianni this time as dandyish thirtysomething antiques dealer Alfredo Martelli arrested on suspicion of murdering his older far wealthier lover Adalgisa (Micheline Presle). But as the increasingly Kafkaesque police investigation proceeds it becomes less and less important whether Martelli actually committed the crime as his entire lifestyle is effectively put on trial. Best known for Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion and The Tenth Victim Petri was one of the finest and yet most underrated Italian directors of the 1960s and 70s. Highly acclaimed on its original UK release but unjustly neglected since L'Assassino is a remarkably assured debut from one of the cinema's sharpest chroniclers of Italian social and political realities. Petri said that he wanted to reflect the changes wrought by the early sixties and to examine 'a new generation of upstarts who lacked any kind of moral scruple'. Arrow Academy is proud to present the first ever UK video release of L'Assassino in a gorgeous high-definition restoration created by the Cineteca di Bologna. Special Features: New 2K digital restoration from the Cineteca di Bologna Uncompressed Mono 2.0 PCM Audio Elio Petri and L'Assassino an introduction by Italian cinema expert Pasquale Iannone Tonino Guerra: A Poet in the Movies: Nicola Tranquillino's documentary about the great Italian screenwriter Theatrical Trailer Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Jay Shaw Booklet featuring new writing on the film by Elio Petri expert Camilla Zamboni plus a selection of contemporary reviews
