Criterion | 1970-1989 | 17 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Abbas Kiarostami

Long before he became one of the most renowned artists in world cinema, the great Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami began his cinematic career at Tehran’s Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (a.k.a. Kanoon), where he honed his distinctive style and themes. During his first decades as a filmmaker, Kiarostami moved freely among documentary, narrative, and even animation, and between joyous short films made for children and subtle works exploring the struggles of adolescents. Often using the classroom as a laboratory, he probed social and political tensions in Iranian society during the turbulent years before and after the 1979 revolution. Spanning his very first short, Bread and Alley (which the director called the “mother of all my films”); other underseen early revelations, like Experience and The Traveler; and nonfiction masterpieces such as Homework, the graceful, warm, and playful works collected here find moments of transcendent poetry within everyday life, and use deceptively simple premises to express universal truths about the human condition.

Él (#1289)

Criterion | 1953 | 93 min | Not Rated
Directed by Luis Buñuel

Spanish surrealist master Luis Buñuel’s fiendish tale of love gone wrong is among the most perverse and unsettling films he made during his two decades of exile in Mexico. Folding his own neuroses into an adaptation of Mercedes Pinto’s autobiographical novel, Buñuel crafts an expressionistically stylized nightmare in which a young woman (Delia Garcés) discovers that the outward sophistication of her new husband (Arturo de Córdova) masks disturbing depths of jealousy and paranoia. A characteristically raw indictment of religious and social hypocrisy, Él stands as the director’s greatest excursion into melodrama, a vivid portrayal of society’s inability to restrain the irrational urges of the human id.

Hell’s Angels (#1288)

Criterion | 1930 | 132 min | Not Rated
Directed by Howard Hughes

A high-flying feat of adventure filmmaking and a testament to the audacious, spare-no-expense vision of Howard Hughes, this landmark aviation epic remains exhilarating both for its daredevil aerial sequences and its nervy pre-Code punch. With the onset of World War I, two British brothers recruited into the Royal Flying Corps (Ben Lyon and James Hall) find their bond tested by their differing attitudes toward the war and their love for the same woman (Jean Harlow in her bombshell breakthrough). The product of a notoriously long and dangerous production that resulted in the deaths of multiple crew members, Hell’s Angels broke new technical ground, making use of early sound and color technologies, and capturing some of the most thrilling dogfight scenes ever filmed.

Directed by Sôichi Masui, Joey Goubeaud

In an alternate past, the otaku paradise of Akihabara was an unsavory hive of scum and villainy. One thing, however, is sort of the same: Maid Cafés! Except maids are the enforcers and assassins for corporate corruption… which is unfortunate for new maid Nagomi, who was too blinded by the cutesy uniforms and clever waitressing tricks to understand the darker reality of the maid business until she’d already joined the seemingly sweet Oinky Doink Café with Ranko Mannen. Now that’s not ketchup on table 5 as the carnage erupts in AKIBA MAID WAR!

A Better Tomorrow Trilogy

(Hong Kong Cinema Classics #19-21 | A BETTER TOMORROW / A BETTER TOMORROW II / A BETTER TOMORROW III: LOVE & DEATH IN SAIGON)

Shout Factory | 1986-1989 | 3 Movies | 305 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Woo, Tsui Hark

Brace yourself for the action-packed A Better Tomorrow Trilogy! This legendary and highly influential saga, whose impact shaped cinema both in Hong Kong and Hollywood, brought filmmakers John Woo and Tsui Hark to new heights of fame, and launched star Chow Yun-fat to superstardom. Featuring brand-new 4K scans and an arsenal of bonus features, all three A Better Tomorrow epics are presented like never before.

A BETTER TOMORROW

John Woo’s groundbreaking A Better Tomorrow explores the razor’s edge that separates the opposite sides of the law with undeniable style and intensity. A Triad member attempts to reform and make amends with his brother, a policeman. The gangster’s journey into the light, however, is hampered by his seemingly unbreakable ties to the gang he has left behind. Ti Lung (Drunken Master II), Leslie Cheung (The Bride With White Hair), and the immortal Chow Yun-fat star.

A BETTER TOMORROW II

The A Better Tomorrow saga continues with this high-impact followup, which re-teams director John Woo with actors Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, and Chow Yun-fat (the latter playing the twin brother of his character from the original film). The action stretches from Hong Kong to New York City in an adrenaline-fueled sequel many fans consider superior to its acclaimed predecessor.

A BETTER TOMORROW III: LOVE & DEATH IN SAIGON

Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China) stepped into the director’s role for this explosive third installment of the A Better Tomorrow series. A prequel to the first film, A Better Tomorrow III: Love & Death In Saigon explores the story of Mark against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, revealing additional layers to the character that made Chow Yun-fat a superstar. Tony Leung (Prison On Fire, The Lover) and Anita Mui (The Heroic Trio, Drunken Master II) also star in the final chapter of this unforgettable trilogy.

Howards End

Cohen Media Group | 1992 | 142 min | Not Rated
Directed by James Ivory

One of Merchant Ivory’s undisputed masterpieces, this adaptation of E.M. Forster’s classic novel won three Academy Awards®, including Emma Thompson for Best Actress. A saga of class relations and changing times in an Edwardian England on the brink of modernity, the film centers on liberal Margaret Schlegel (Thompson), who along with her sister Helen (Helena Bonham Carter), becomes involved with two couples: wealthy, conservative industrialist Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Ruth (Vanessa Redgrave), and the downwardly mobile working-class Leonard Bast (Samuel West) and his mistress Jackie (Nicola Duffett). The interwoven fates and misfortunes of these three families and the diverging trajectories of the two sisters’ lives are connected to the ownership of Howards End, the dying Ruth’s beloved country home. Howards End is a compelling, brilliantly acted study of one woman’s struggle to maintain her ideals and integrity in the face of Edwardian society’s conformist values. Cohen Film Collection is proud to present a gorgeous 4K restoration from the original negative, overseen and approved by director James Ivory and cinematographer Tony Pierce-Roberts.

Val Kilmer and Carrie-Anne Moss headline the sci-fi adventure Red Planet, an exciting glimpse into a future where humankind’s last hope for survival rests on escaping the bounds of Earth and colonising the cosmos. In the not-so-distant future, the ecological crisis on Earth has taken a turn for the worse, and humanity’s only hope may lie in seeking refuge on neighbouring Mars. After years of unmanned missions to terraform the planet, a crew of astronauts aboard Mars-1 are finally sent to establish Earth’s first Martian colony. But a giant solar flare sends their landing module crash-landing on the planet, leaving our pioneers stranded in a harsh crimson wasteland. As the crew battle the elements and rising inner tensions, they soon discover that Mars’ newly formed atmosphere has had unexpected and terrifying consequences.

The Gracie Allen Murder Case

Kino Lorber | 1939 | 78 min | Not Rated
Directed by Alfred E. Green

Silver-screen star Warren William (Cecil B. DeMiIle’s Cleopatra) portrays the debonair detective Philo Vance, and vivacious vaudevillian Gracie Allen (A Damsel in Distress) portrays, well, Gracie Allen, in the marvelously charming crime-comedy, The Gracie Allen Murder Case. Super-sleuth Vance faces the zaniest case of his career when Allen “helps” him try to solve the murder of an escaped convict. As she attempts to clear the name of a friend accused of the killing, her wacky, scatterbrained ways constantly impede the investigation. Adapted from S.S. Van Dine’s novel, this hilarious whodunit was Gracie Allen’s first picture without her husband, George Burns, with whom she appeared on radio, film and TV as the popular comedy duo “Burns and Allen.” Scripted by Nat Perrin (Duck Soup), directed by Alfred E. Green (Four Faces West) and co-starring Ellen Drew (French Without Tears) and Kent Taylor (I’m No Angel), this murder-mystery is a classic case of extremely deadly amusement!

No Wave: The Underground Films of Beth B and Scott B

Kino Lorber | 1978-1983 | 6 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Beth B, Scott B

Emerging from the downtown art scene of a pre-gentrified 1970s New York, Beth B and Scott B crafted strikingly cinematic sci-fi and neo-noir thrillers that emblemized the alienation and spirit of rebellion fueling a generation of young creators. Filmed in Super-8 and 16mm, and highlighted by the electrifying presence of performance artist Lydia Lunch, these defiant “B Movies” brought a Times Square grindhouse aesthetic to the music venues and art spaces where they were shown. Newly restored from the original film elements, No Wave (as the movement would later be called) is a major cinematic rediscovery: a provocative body of work previously unavailable, and an insider’s view of a city (and art scene) on the brink of explosion.

The Ogre of Athens

Radiance Films | 1956 | 103 min | Not Rated
Directed by Nikos Koundouros

Despite his best efforts, shy and modest bank clerk Thomas (Dinos Iliopoulos) struggles to fit in with the pace of modern life. On New Year’s Eve, a comedy of errors ensues and Thomas is mistaken for ‘The Ogre’, a notorious criminal mastermind who rules the streets of Athens. Suddenly, men respect him and a woman is interested in him – it’s all he’s ever wanted. However, everything comes with a price and Thomas is soon out of his depth when his unwitting white lie unravels. Rich with physical comedy and sharp social commentary, this satirical crime drama from director Nikos Koundouros (Young Aphrodites) was a commercial disaster on release and is now considered to be a true classic of modern Greek cinema.

Riefenstahl

Kino Lorber | 2024 | 115 min | Not Rated
Directed by Andres Veiel

Filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial women of the 20th century. Her films Triumph of the Will and Olympia are defined by their fascist aesthetics, perfectly-staged body worship, and the celebration of all that is “superior” and victorious, simultaneously projecting contempt for the imperfect and weak. But Riefenstahl – who first broke into the German film industry as an actress – spent decades after the war denying her association with Nazi ideology, and claiming ignorance of the Holocaust. How did she become the Reich’s preeminent filmmaker if she was just a hired hand? Riefenstahl examines this question using never-before-seen documents from Leni Riefenstahl’s estate, including private films, photos, recordings and letters, uncovering fragments of her biography and placing them in an extended historical context. During her long life after the fall of Nazism, she remained unapologetic, managing to control and shape her legacy; in personal documents, she mourns her “murdered ideals.” Meanwhile, her work would experience a renaissance, gaining esteem for its masterful technical skill. Today, Riefenstahl’s aesthetics are more present than ever. Is that also true for their message? In an era where fascism is on the rise again, fake news is prevalent, and the meaning of political imagery is constantly dissected and debated, Andres Veiel’s mesmerizing new film shows that Leni Riefenstahl is more relevant than ever.

Wicked Games: Three Films by Robert Hossein

(The Wicked Go to Hell / Nude in a White Car / The Taste of Violence)

Radiance Films | 1955-1961 | 3 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Robert Hossein

A prison break, femme fatales and a genre-defining western: Robert Hossein (Rififi) was, both behind and in front of the camera, one of French cinema’s great unsung stylists. Three of his finest genre exploits are collected here. In a hard penitentiary, two prisoners fight off the rumour that one of them denounced a recently executed inmate. With their fellow convicts at their throats, they join forces and escape. Along the way, they hole up in a remote beach cabin where they take the angel-faced occupant (Marina Vlady, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her) as their hostage while they figure out their next move. The feature debut of Robert Hossein, The Wicked Go to Hell was adapted from the novel by celebrated crime writer Frédéric Dard (Paris Pick-up), a prison escape film that spins into a fatalistic noir, oozing with atmosphere from its striking compositions and explosions of violence.

On an evening stroll, Pierre (Robert Hossein, also director) is invited into a white car by a female voice. Upon getting in he finds a nude blonde with her face obscured by shadow. After sharing an intimate moment, Pierre tries to get to know her but she produces a revolver and orders him to leave. Astonished by the events, Pierre determines to find the woman and traces the car to an address where two blonde sisters live (Marina Vlady, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her and Odile Versois, Passport to Shame), one who claims to never go out and another who is paralysed. Following his explosive debut, director Robert Hossein re-teams with celebrated crime writer Frédéric Dard for this sultry mystery evoking Hitchcock and classic noir.

In a Latin American country ruled by a dictator, revolutionary leader Perez (Robert Hossein, also director) holds up a train to kidnap the dictator’s daughter (Giovanna Ralli, The Mercenary) to trade her for captured revolutionaries. Perez takes her across dangerous terrain with his two lieutenants Chamaco (Mario Adorf, The Italian Connection) and Chico. But the bounty on her head is high, and compatriots may be easily tempted to switch sides. Anticipating later Zapata Westerns that focused on revolution like A Bullet for the General and The Wild Bunch, The Taste of Violence is also one of the most visually striking Euro Westerns, bearing a resemblance to work by Akira Kurosawa.
