The nights close in….
September sees two releases in The Masters of Cinema Series. Luchino Visconti’s incredible Bellissima starring Anna Magnani, and our second film by Masahiro Shinoda – Silence / Chinmoku which is based on a story so intriguing that Martin Scorsese’s next film is also based on it.
The Masters of Cinema Series has three releases in October: Gandahar and Les Maîtres du temps, two mindmelting adult animations from René Laloux (the director of Fantastic Planet); and from the director of Punishment Park, Peter Watkins’ ridiculously good Edvard Munch— a revolutionary study of the famous Norwegian painter’s early life. The film was a particular favourite of the late Ingmar Bergman who deemed it to be “a work of genius”.
We’ve been working like crazy to bring out a strong November line-up in time for Xmas. First up we have the new restoration of Murnau’s Nosferatu in a deluxe 2 x disc set complete with a new commentary track by Brad Stevens and R. Dixon Smith, and a fantastic hour-long German documentary on the film by Luciano Berriatúa. Secondly, also in November, Murnau’s tragic last film Tabu; and finally, for all cinephiles’ Xmas stockings, our first Kenji Mizoguchi twinpack – Sansho Dayu / Gion Bayashi. All three November releases will come with 80-page books (as will Edvard Munch).
