• Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea | Blu Ray | (25/01/2021) from £15.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  From Jindich Polák, director of the 1963 Czech sci-fi classic Ikarie XB-1, comes another foray into science-fiction with this lesser known but equally impressive feature Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea. But unlike the serious hard sci-fi approach of Ikarie, this film is a deliciously demented time-travel romp that manages to be both hilariously silly and impressively ingenious at the same time. In the near-future, time travel has become a possibility, and a group of neo-Nazi's hijack a time-ship in order to go back to 1944 to deliver a hydrogen bomb to Hitler and thus secure victory in WWII Polák expertly balances the film's disparate elements to produce a work of immense pleasure which is unpredictable, irreverent, intelligent and wildly funny - and which emerges one of the great undiscovered sci-fi movies of the 1970s. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea presented from a new HD remaster from original materials by the Czech National Film Archive. An all-new Projection Booth commentary with Kat Ellinger, Jonathan Owen and Mike White. Trailer. Booklet featuring a new essay by writer and filmmaker Graham Williamson. New and improved English subtitle translation. World premiere on Blu-ray. Plus more TBC

• Crazy Thunder Road | Blu Ray | (21/02/2022) from £15.79   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Hailed both as Japan's Mad Max, Sogo Ishii's high-octane, loud-and-proud breakthrough hit was one of that country's great success stories, a graduation project from a film school punk rocker bought by Toei Studios and released nationwide. The plot involves Ken, a gang leader dreaming of a quiet life with his girlfriend Noriko, and Jin, Ken's maverick successor, who isn't about to let yakuza kingpins or right-wing nutjobs tell him what to do or whom to kill. Jin's violent individualism in a world where even outlaws follow the bosses' orders references the doomed anti-establishment heroes of Kinji Fukasaku, but Crazy Thunder Road points toward a new style of genre filmmaking-fast-paced, quick-witted and brilliantly stylized. New master approved by the director New interview with Gakuryu (Sogo) Ishii Audio commentary by Tom Mes Video Essay: Jasper Sharp on Jishu Eiga

• By The Light Of Day (Alla Luce Del Sole) | DVD | (22/12/2014) from £7.25   |  Saving you £5.74 (79.17%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A priest(Luca Zingaretti - Inspector Montalbano) attends his new parish only to find the church empty, the locals uninterested and their children rude and abusive. He very gently sets about winning over first the children, by providing them with a place to play and learn, and then works on their parents. The church slowly becomes the focal point of the community and very quickly ends up full with standing room only. There's a heavy Mafia presence in the community but the priest stands up to them and encourages his parishioners to do the same. He does this effectively and suffers the consequences as the antagonism grows between him and the Mafia. Based on a true story, the ending is truly heart-rending.The acting is superb all round, the children in particular are very genuine and believable. The character of the priest is in keeping with the benign and virtuous Monatlbano and Zingaretti gives a powerful performance in this truly wonderful movie This movie is a must have for any Inspector Montalbano or Luca Zingaretti fan

• I Vitelloni (Blu Ray) | Blu Ray | (27/08/2018) from £14.49   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Fellini's take on youth which directly influenced films like Mean Streets, American Graffiti, Diner and other coming of age movies. Leonard Maltin rates it as Fellini's absolute masterpiece, yet it has been rarely revived perhaps overshadowed by his epoch-making, harbinger of a generation lifestyle, his DOLCE VITA! When discovering Fellini's I VITELLONI ('young bucks'), fans will instead recognise the director's influence on many later films adopting its bunch-of-guys-hanging-out format. Close to their 30s, the film's, mostly unemployed, long-time pals are too old to be kids but still uncertain about settling down in their Italian seaside town I VITELLONI is also terribly funny!.. and even if rooted in Italian neo-realism, Fellini is already announcing his fantastical, carnivalesque cinema of weirdness.. The Felliniesque Cinema. Extras: TBA: will include new Extras on Fellini's cinema

• Once Were Warriors (Blu-Ray) | Blu Ray | (19/02/2018) from £17.47   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  New Zealand filmmaker Lee Tamahori (The Edge) directed this brutal but powerful story drawn from the culture of poverty and alienation enveloping contemporary Maori life. Rena Owen plays the beleaguered mother of two boys--one of whom is already in prison while the other contemplates membership in a gang--and a daughter whose potential is being smothered at home. Temuera Morrison gives an outstanding and sometimes shocking performance as the violent head of the household, more adept at keeping up his social stature within his community of friends than holding down a job. Once Were Warriors pulls no punches, literally and figuratively, but despite the rough going, Tamahori gives us a rare and important insight into a people digging down deep to find their pride. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Twisting the Knife: Four FIlms by Claude Chabrol | Blu Ray | (25/04/2022) from £50.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Twisting The Knife: Four Films By Claude Chabrol For five decades Claude Chabrol navigated the unpredictable waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake more than fifty feature films that remain among the most quietly devastating genre movies ever made. Sardonic, provocative, unsettling, Chabrol's films cut to the quick with a clarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness. The Swindle (Rien Ne Va Plus) sees Chabrol at perhaps his most playful as a pair of scam artists, Isabelle Huppert and Michel Serrault, get in over their heads. But who is scamming who and who do you trust in a life built on so many lies? The murder of a 10 year old girl sparks rumours and gossip in The Color of Lies (Au Coeur Du Mensonge), as suspicion falls on René (Jacques Gamblin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her alive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, Isabelle Huppert encapsulates everything that makes Nightcap (Merci Pour Le Chocolat) a film John Waters calls Cinematic Perfection in this tale of suppressed family secrets. Finally, in The Flower of Evil (La Fleur Du Mal), incest, old money and intergenerational guilt come under the scalpel as an outwardly perfect bourgeois family begins to unravel when the wife involves herself in politics. Though influenced by Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol's voice was entirely and assuredly his own, influencing in turn filmmakers like Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik Moll. His amused, unblinkered view of life and refusal to judge his characters makes his films timelessly relevant and accessible to all. Arrow Video is proud to present this second collection of films by Claude Chabrol with a wealth of new and archival extras.
