ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): Impossible to deny Synapse Films' 4K restoration transfer to Blu-ray of Dario Argento's masterpiece Suspiria - 'impressive' is an understatement - must own. Bertrand Bonello's Nocturama on Blu-ray from Grasshopper Film is a highly lauded Festival favorite thriller about a group of young terrorists. Criterion bring us their Blu-ray of Sergei Paradjanov's The Color of Pomegranates - a 4K digital restoration of The Parajanov Cut - one of the most visually unique and culturally dense films ever made. Fascinating. Criterion also give us the charming screwball pioneer, Leo McCarey's The Awful Truth with an effervescent Cary Grant - so much fun and looking incredibly film-like on Blu-ray. My Cousin Rachel is a wonderful romantic mystery with Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton on Blu-ray from Twilight Time. Masters of Cinema bring do their Blu-ray of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's The Barefoot Contessa with the iconic pairing of Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner - a bitter tale of stardom won and wasted looking sweet in 1080P. I defy anyone to beat the value of Mill Creek's Blu-ray of a Hammer Double Feature that has Maniac (1963) and. Die! Die! My Darling! (1965). I suspect they've been reading DVDBeaver on how to improve their packages! Certainly, I found myself warming to Bryan Forbes' Deadfall with Michael Caine a subtle heist thriller with sexual overtones on Blu-ray from Signal One in the UK. I'm alone in finding some value in this literary, mysterious, twisty The Vanishing of Sidney Hall - now on Blu-ray from Lionsgate. Colin reviewed the kinetic Re: Born from Tak Sakaguchi on Blu-ray from Eureka - a ruthless Asian actioner. Sweet Sixteen - a suspenseful mid-80s horror on Blu-ray from 88 Films in the UK. Lastly, despite the highly interesting film, Oliver Hirschbiegel Downfall is laced with DNR on Blu-ray from the consistently inconsistent Shout! Factory. Pass.

'It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.”' - David Lynch

Be kinder this week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Nocturama BD - A nocturama is the part of the zoo where they keep the small animals that only come out at night. The term is obscure, but evocative—so, an apt title for the audacious and disturbing new film by the French writer-director Bertrand Bonello, the longer second part of which finds a group of mostly teenage terrorists hiding out in a windowless Paris department store after a spree of bombings and assassinations. We’ve seen them carry out these attacks over the movie’s mesmerizing first 50 minutes, sometimes replayed from multiple angles, though we are never exactly sure of their goal. Blu-ray Release Date: February 27th, 2018

Deadfall BD - A jewel thief (Caine) falls in love with the wife (Ralli) of his homosexual accomplice (Portman). She has been mentally scarred by her father's membership of the Gestapo, and her husband, a former French resistance fighter, is buggering a gigolo. And then, bugger moi, it transpires that the wife is also her husband's daughter, and they all commit suicide happily ever after. Replete with a Shirley Bassey theme tune and a 20-minute John Barry guitar concerto to accompany the robbery. Blu-ray Release Date: February 5th, 2018

Downfall BD - Based on Hitler historian Joachim Fest’s book “Der Untergang” and Hitler’s private secretary Junge Traudl’s book “Bis zur Letzter Stunde”, which she wrote in 1948, but wasn’t published until recent years, Oliver Hirschbiegel creates a stunning and basically hour by hour portrait of the last twelve days in Hitler’s life. Shout! Factory Blu-ray Release Date: March 13th, 2018

Suspiria BD - Argento's masterpiece of horror, with its assault of garish colors, booming soundtrack and horrifically dreamlike set pieces, is the cinematic equivalent of an exceptionally scary fun house. It tells the story of Susan (Harper) a young, impressionable American who travels abroad in order to study at a prestigious European ballet academy. From the first day, however, she begins to realize that frightening things are afoot at the hallowed institution. Enduring a rain of maggots, poisoned food and other unpleasant occurrences, she discovers that the school is a secret convening place for an ages-old witches' coven. Synapse Films (2-disc) Blu-ray Release Date: March 13th, 2018

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall BD - A precocious novelist (Logan Lerman) finds success at a young age, but painful secrets and the pressures of fame cause him to retreat from the limelight. Years later, a detective (Kyle Chandler) attempts to track him down. Elle Fanning and Michelle Monaghan co-star. Blu-ray Release Date: March 20th, 2018

The Color of Pomegranates BD - Sergei Parajanov’s celebrated masterpiece paints an astonishing portrait of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, the ‘King of Songs’. Parajanov’s aim was not a conventional biography but a cinematic expression of his work, resulting in an extraordinary visual poem. Key moments in his subject’s life are illustrated through a series of exquisitely orchestrated tableaux filled with rich colour and stunning iconography, each scene a celluloid painting alive with stylised movement. Criterion Blu-ray Release date: April 17th, 2018

Hammer Double Feature BD - Maniac (1963) - While vacationing in France, an American artist becomes romantically involved with an older woman, Eve, while also attracted to her teenage stepdaughter, Annette. Pulled between them, a plot is hatched to free Eve's husband from jail but Eve has a different plan in mind. Die! Die! My Darling! - (1965) - Young Pat Carroll (Powers) goes to the home of her dead fiancé to meet his beloved mother, Mrs. Trefoile (Tallulah Bankhead). There, she discovers that Mrs. Trefoile is not the loving mother she had anticipated, but rather a grieving psychopath who blames Pat for the death of her son.. Blu-ray Release Date: March 6th, 2018

Re: Born BD - Toshiro (Tak , formerly Tak Sakaguchi, Versus), a former special forces operative, now lives a quiet life in the Japanese countryside. Despite his seemingly peaceful existence, Toshiro struggles to contain the destructive impulses that once made him the top soldier in an elite unit of killers. When his former commanding officer, the enigmatic Phantom (Akio Ôtsuka), comes out of the shadows seeking revenge, Toshiro goes on a kill-crazy rampage against a squad of ruthless assassins. Blu-ray Release Date: March 12th, 2018

The Barefoot Contessa BD - Writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz gives us a bitter tale of stardom won and wasted in The Barefoot Contessa (1954), a film à clef about a Rita Hayworth-style Spanish dancer (Ava Gardner) who becomes an international movie star. Her sympathetic guide is a writer/director/ Mankiewicz surrogate (Humphrey Bogart); Edmond O’Brien won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® playing the public relations lackey of a Howard Hughes-like mogul (Warren Stevens); and the film is stunningly photographed by the one and only Jack Cardiff. Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Release date: March 12th, 2018

The Awful Truth BD - In this Oscar-winning farce, Cary Grant (in the role that first defined the Cary Grant persona) and Irene Dunne exude charm, cunning, and artless affection as an urbane couple who, fed up with each other's infidelities, resolve to file for divorce. But try as they might to move on, the mischievous Jerry can't help meddling in Lucy's ill-matched engagement to a corn-fed Oklahoma businessman (Ralph Bellamy), and a mortified Lucy begins to realize that she may be saying goodbye to the only dance partner capable of following her lead. Blu-ray Release Date: April 17th - 23rd, 2018

My Cousin Rachel BD - The waves are crashing wildly against the rock-ribbed Cornish coast at the outset of "My Cousin Rachel," which came to the Rivoli yesterday, and a corpse is hanging from a gibbet at a crossroads on the wind-swept moors. That is a gentle indication of the eerie and fateful mood that prevails through this excellent screen translation of Daphne du Maurier's literate romance, and that is a fair pre-warning also of the terminal satisfactions of the tale. Blu-ray Release Date: February, 2018

Sweet Sixteen BD - Melissa (Aleisha Shirley) is the new girl at school in a small town (her father [a slumming Patrick Macnee] is an archaeologist excavating a local Indian burial ground) and having a hard time fitting in (despite some frontal nudity in the film's opening shower scene). It seems that every guy who takes an interest in her winds up getting offed (most of the film's victims are men). While the local sheriff (Bo Hopkins) thinks he has a psycho-killer on the loose and also has to deal with racial tensions, his daughter Marci decides to play Nancy Drew. Blu-ray Release Date: February 12th, 2018
