Compensation (#1274)

Criterion | 1999 | 92 min | Not Rated
Directed by Zeinabu irene Davis

A poignant portrait of Deaf African Americans and the complexities of love at both ends of the twentieth century, Zeinabu irene Davis’s film is a groundbreaking story of inclusion and visibility. In dual performances, Michelle A. Banks and John Earl Jelks play an educated dressmaker and an illiterate migrant in 1910s Chicago, and a resilient graphic artist and an endearing librarian living in the same city eight decades later. Employing archival photography, an original score blending ragtime and African percussion, and lyrical editing, Davis deftly intertwines the two couple’s stories, in ways both tender and tragic. Compensation is a landmark of American independent cinema that confronts the social forces and prejudices that hinder love.

Saving Face (#1276)

Criterion | 2004 | 97 min | Rated R
Directed by Alice Wu

A queer romantic comedy set in vibrant, multicultural New York City, Alice Wu’s irresistible feature debut breathed fresh life into the genre by combining snappy dialogue and a swooning love story with a poignant narrative about a mother and daughter coming to terms with each other. Just as Wil (Michelle Krusiec), a harried young surgical resident, begins a promising romance with the flirtatious dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen), her life is turned upside down when her more traditional Chinese mother (Joan Chen)—unwed and unexpectedly pregnant—moves in with her, forcing both women to confront the generational and cultural barriers that have long troubled their relationship. Both embracing and cleverly subverting rom-com conventions, Wu delivers a bighearted ode to the Chinese American diaspora, and the liberating joy of living one’s truth.

Vermiglio

Criterion Premieres

Criterion | 2024 | 119 min | Not Rated
Directed by Maura Delpero

Secrets swirl beneath the surface of a remote Italian community in Maura Delpero’s exquisite wartime drama, winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize. In a majestic Alpine village touched only faintly by the upheavals of modern life, a strict schoolteacher’s family undergoes a profound shift when a relative returns home with a mysterious Sicilian soldier, both fleeing the front lines of World War II. As the seasons change across a single year, three very different daughters of the sprawling Graziadei clan will find their lives transformed. Blending historically grounded realism with painterly grace, Delpero draws from her own ancestral history for Vermiglio, an at once intimate and momentous vision of a world suspended between the patriarchal past and the stirrings of a new future.

Get Carter

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1971 | 112 min | Rated R
Directed by Mike Hodges

Two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine rips into the role of Jack Carter in this legendary crime thriller marked by “brutal and gamy plot turns, excellent direction (and) a fast-moving screenplay” (Variety)! London mob strong-arm Carter is drawn north to Newcastle by his brother’s death-which he doesn’t believe is accidental. All too familiar with the ways of the mob, Carter single-mindedly, and single-handedly tears into the local crime syndicate with terrifying precision and cold enjoyment, hunting the identity of the killer and then the killer himself. But what Carter doesn’t know is that corruption within the mob is widespread, high-ranked and may hit closer to home than he thinks! “The pace is relentless” lauded to L.A. Times, “and picks up momentum like a freight train barreling downgrade!” “An instant classic” agreed The New York Times.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Arrow | 2003 | 98 min | Rated R
Directed by Marcus Nispel

For its inaugural film, Michael Bay’s studio Platinum Dunes brought together scriptwriter Scott Kosar (The Machinist) and director Marcus Nispel (2009’s Friday the 13th) for a grisly update of Tobe Hooper’s classic tale of Texan terror. The result would conquer the 2003 box office, introducing a new generation of genre fans to the franchise. A group of carefree young adults’ road trip through Texas is cut short when the panic-stricken hitchhiker they’ve picked up shoots herself in the back of their vehicle. Desperate to find help, our heroes are directed to the home of the local Sheriff, but little do they know they are stumbling into the lair of the Hewitts, the most violent family in all of Texas, including their chainsaw-wielding son. Described by critic Roger Ebert as “vile, ugly and brutal”, 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a boundary pushing, agonizingly violent gorefest masterpiece ready to traumatize and delight horror fans anew with this brand new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition!

After 2003’s successful remake of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes would take another trip to the Lone Star State for the terrifying prequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

An altercation with a shotgun-wielding biker leads them to crash their car, only for them to be rescued by Sheriff Hoyt.

In Twisters (2024), scientist and former storm-chaser Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is lured back to the Oklahoma prairie by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) for a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity. Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler who she must work with if the two have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.

7 Women

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1966 | 87 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Ford

In the final film of an illustrious career that spanned nearly five decades, director John Ford breaks his old mold: famed for making westerns, he directed an “eastern”; accredited as a “man’s man” director, he created a film that starred not one, but a septet of women; and finally, known for big, outdoor films, he keeps the action confined within the walls of an isolated mission in China, circa 1935. Anne Bancroft is superb as a tough, realistic, cynical doctor who locks horns with the domineering head of the mission (Margaret Leighton), a woman of strict moral values. But when their ordered world is shattered by invading bandits, gallantry, courage and sacrifice – traits common to all Ford films- rise to the surface in a most startling fashion. Yes, Seven Women is a departure. But in true John Ford fashion, it explodes with the same dramatic truth and visual intensity that have forever enshrined him as one of the cinema’s true poets.

Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror 3D

(Kino Cult #35)

Kino Lorber | 1968 | 78 min | Not Rated
Directed by Enrique López Eguiluz

Among the most elusive gems of 1960s Eurohorror, Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror (La marca del Hombre Lobo) is a modern gothic 3-D monster mash written and directed by Paul Naschy (The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman). Waldemar Daninsky(Naschy) suffers the bite of a werewolf and seeks the aid of a pair of occultists to rid himself of the curse. But Dr. Mikhelov and his wife (Julián Ugarte and Aurora de Alba) are in fact vampires, and Waldemar’s only defense against them is to unchain the lycanthrope within. Newly mastered in 4K from 35mm elements of the U.S. release cut of the film (compromised by decomposition), this Kino Cult edition has been meticulously restored by the 3-D Film Archive and is presented in both the stereoscopic (3-D player and monitor required) and anaglyph versions (one pair of red/green glasses provided).

The Hard Way

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1943 | 109 min | Not Rated
Directed by Vincent Sherman

A powerful film featuring an unforgettable performance by leading lady Ida Lupino, THE HARD WAY is a gripping drama that in certain ways is a precursor to the same story dynamics to be found years later in the remarkable musical play GYPSY. Lupino takes center stage (so to speak) as Helen Chernen, a strong-willed woman who wants to get herself and her talented kid sister Katie out of their jerkwater hometown. And if that means using people and throwing them away, that’s what Helen will do. Biting, observant, set against a glittery show-biz backdrop, The Hard Way has earned its reputation as one of Hollywood’s great melodramas. Among the film’s many fine performances, two stand out. Jack Carson, typically cast in comic roles, is powerfully affecting as a song-and-dance man whose kind heart is no match for Helen’s ruthless wiles. And Ida Lupino is pitch-perfect as Helen, etching an indelible portrait of twisted ambition that won her the 1943 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress.

Intruder in the Dust

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1949 | 87 min | Not Rated
Directed by Clarence Brown

Who shot Vinson Gowrie in the back? The jailhouse at Jefferson, Mississippi, may not hold the actual killer, but it does have the suspect an angry lynch mob wants: Lucas Beauchamp, who has long refused to exhibit the obsequious attitude expected of black people in Jefferson. Based on William Faulkner’s novel and filmed in his hometown of Oxford, Intruder in the Dust is both a gripping whodunit and a milestone of social-conscience filmmaking. Claude Jarman, Jr. (reunited with director Clarence Brown of The Yearling) plays the youth whose troubled sense of right makes him a catalyst in solving the mystery. And Juano Hernandez is memorable as Lucas: proud, perceptive, strong — words that also describe this superb film named one of 1949’s 10 Best by the National Board of Review. Now restored from 4K scans of the best preservation elements, this landmark film comes to Blu-ray with a stunning presentation of a film that is timeless in its importance.

Larry Cohen: Mystery and Misdirection

(THE PRIVATE FILES OF J. EDGAR HOOVER / SPECIAL EFFECTS / WICKED STEPMOTHER)

Shout Factory | 1977-1989 | 3 Movies | 312 min | Rated PG, PG-13, R
Directed by Larry Cohen

A giant of low-budget genre and exploitation films, Larry Cohen blazed a trail as a writer and director that speaks for itself. Never one to be pigeonholed, Cohen’s classification-defying oeuvre explored a range of styles with strongly written characters and a healthy dose of social commentary, creating memorable and entertaining films whose impact far outreached their expense. Scream Factory is proud to present this three-film collection celebrating the talents of Cohen, showcasing the range and skill of a legend. The Private Files Of J. Edgar Hoover presents a fictionalized account of the man who ruled the FBI for decades under no fewer than eight different presidents. Special Effects offers a diabolical thriller about art imitating life when a film director casts an actress in a film about a murder … that he himself committed. And the acclaimed Bette Davis essays her final film role in Wicked Stepmother, a comedic fantasy of witchcraft and wackiness.

Save The Tiger

Kino Lorber | 1973 | 100 min | Not Rated
Directed by John G. Avildsen

Jack Lemmon (The Apartment, The China Syndrome) won an Academy Award (Best Actor, 1973) for his dramatic performance in this searing Seventies classic by director John G. Avildsen (Rocky). Lemmon plays Harry Stoner, a man caught in violent collision with his past and present existence. He believes there is nothing significant in his life except survival, and that instinct pushes him beyond moral conduct. He’ll juggle the books, supply women for clients…and even set fire to his own dress manufacturing company. He is drawn to an America when life not only had values and heroes, but it all seemed worth living and building. But Harry is frightened to break away from the emptiness of his seemingly successful life. Save the Tiger grabbed early-’70s anxiety by the tail, and painted a dark portrait of a dying American dream. The acclaimed film earned additional Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor (Jack Gilford) and Original Screenplay (Steve Shagan).

Scoop

Kino Lorber | 2006 | 96 min | Rated PG-13
Directed by Woody Allen

Scarlett Johansson (Match Point) and Hugh Jackman (X-Men) star in this hilariously twisted tale of murder and mystery by the great Woody Allen (Annie Hall, Vicky Christina Barcelona). Sondra Pransky (Johansson) is an American journalism student visiting friends in London. While watching a stage performance by another American, magician Sid Waterman (Allen), a.k.a. Splendini, Sondra is shocked to find herself able to see and hear the recently departed U.K. journalist Joe Strombel (Ian McShane, John Wick). From beyond, Joe gives her a hot tip, on the identity of the “Tarot Card Killer,” who’s still at-large in London. Sondra immediately starts chasing the big story, enlisting the aid of a very reluctant Sid. Her chase leads right to a handsome British aristocrat, Peter Lyman (Jackman), with whom she falls head-over-heels. Soon, Sondra finds that the romance of her lifetime may very well be the dangerous Scoop for which she’s in hot pursuit.

That Midnight Kiss

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1949 | 96 min | Not Rated
Directed by Norman Taurog

The Warner Archive Collection is proud to be releasing another eye-popping Technicolor® restoration, THAT MIDNIGHT KISS. This handsome M-G-M production provided the screen debut of the immortal Mario Lanza. The story tells of aspiring diva Prudence Budell (Kathryn Grayson) knew what she wanted in a singing partner….but what she got was an uninspiring, walrus-like snob. “Great tenors are very seldom young, good looking men who feel the words of opera” the maestro (Jose Iturbi) explained. “If you ever find one who looks the part, you let me know”. So Prudence found him. And, not coincidentally, his appearance on screen meant that M-G-M had found a major film star. Lanza, already a recording sensation first big-screen appearance in this1949 film helped to make the production a glowing, box-office success. As singing truck driver Johnny Donnetti, the broad-shouldered tenor proved he could handle lines with ease and warmth. And he amply showcased what everyone already knew – he could belt out a song (highlights include Donizetti’s “Una Furtiva Lagrima” and Verdi’s “Celeste Aida”). Grayson, who had a lifelong ambition to perform on the operatic stage, grace Verdi’s “Cara Nome” with her bright coloratura. And, in his final movie, Iturbi teamed with his sister for Chopin’s stirring “Revolutionary Etude”. Another delightful confection produced by Joe Pasternak.
