I remember first discovering The Visitor at random when it was being re-released in the early 2010s as a rediscovered cult object (we actually reviewed its previous release back in 2014). It was described as a wild Italian film, a sort of Exorcist knock-off with plenty of other clear influences. The film was an enjoyable mess to watch with an audience, but it does have a certain quality that elevates its randomness above other similar schlock. Part of it comes down to the star power it brings. There’s also the fantastic soundtrack. Whether or not everyone vibes with what The Visitor has to offer, it’s now had enough staying power to be the target of Arrow for a limited 4K UHD release, and this disc delivers. With remastered video and a couple of new extras to round out the package, fans of wacky 70s Italian cinema have plenty to latch onto with this one.

A mysterious hand promises everything. Talent. Wealth. A second chance at life. But as The Devil’s Hand (1943) on Blu-ray slowly reveals, some bargains come with a price that cannot be escaped. Directed by French cinema pioneer Maurice Tourneur (Cécile is Dead) and starring Pierre Fresnay, this eerie tale unfolds like a dark legend passed from one traveler to the next. When a strange man arrives at an isolated mountain inn and begins telling the story of how a cursed talisman changed his life, the film slips into a moody blend of supernatural folklore, moral fable, and wartime fantasy. Known in French as La Main du Diable and later released internationally as Carnival of Sinners, the film remains one of the more unusual entries in French horror, quietly weaving dread and irony into a story about ambition, temptation, and the cost of getting exactly what you wish for.

In the mid-1960s, eleven films produced by DEFA– the state-operated film studio of the German Democratic Republic – were either pulled from theatres or barred from release due to their supposedly anti-socialist themes. The most infamous of these films was Trace of Stones, an intense and accomplished political drama directed by one of East Germany’s most talented filmmakers, Frank Beyer (Jakob the Liar). A nuanced exploration of the everyday workings of socialism in practice, Trace of Stones was perceived as an attack on the GDR’s national ideology and withdrawn from cinemas in 1966. Frank Beyer did not direct another feature film until 1975, while Trace of Stones was suppressed until after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this extraordinary film, available on Blu-ray for the first time. Continue reading ‘Trace of Stones on Blu-ray May 18!’

The Running Man imagines a future where a single entertainment empire controls both media and truth. Of course, one doesn’t have to imagine it too deeply, since it’s starting to slowly happen before our present day eyes. Anyway, the film follows Ben Richards, a desperate father who signs up for the most lethal show on the air, a contest where participants must survive thirty days while hunters track them across the country. The prize is a billion dollars. The likelihood of surviving is zero. Stephen King’s original novel imagined a society where propaganda, spectacle, and economic collapse merge into a system that devours the working class. Director Edgar Wright’s adaptation has glints of rage but refuses to commit, leaving a movie that should theoretically sting with urgency yet remains hollow at its center.

An unsung master of French cinema meets an undisputed master of detective fiction in Cécile is Dead, as Maurice Tourneur (The Devil’s Hand) brings Georges Simenon’s crime novel to the screen. Simenon’s beloved sleuth Inspector Maigret appeared in 75 novels and 28 short stories written over five decades, along with innumerable radio, film and television adaptations – and here Tourneur directs one of the very finest among them. One of three Inspector Maigret films made in occupied France during World War II, Cécile is Dead boasts noirish cinematography by Pierre Montazel, art direction by Guy de Gastyne – a set designer for Marcel L’Herbier and René Clair – and music by Roger Dumas, who scored Tourneur’s The Devil’s Hand. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this French crime classic on Blu-ray, marking its first release on home video in the UK. Continue reading ‘Cécile is Dead on Blu-ray May 18!’

We know that William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway married in 1582. We know their twins, Judith and Hamnet, were baptized in 1585. We know that Hamnet was buried in 1596 at age eleven. A few years later, Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. From this spare record, author Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 work of historical fiction imagined a family life and proposed that the death of a child might have echoed in one of literature’s most enduring tragedies.

The first clue is a curl of shed snakeskin. A detail that shouldn’t exist in a city that has spent a century pretending reptiles don’t belong inside its borders. The mystery coils into a story of who gets to write history and who gets written out. Nine years is a long time to wait for this return trip to Zootopia. But the wait is worth it. A funny and politically clever enough sequel that sneaks in a few ideas into the popcorn.

Buster Keaton was arguably the greatest comedian of the silent era and certainly one of the funniest and most talented performers to ever work in the movie business. The Generalis his masterpiece: co-directed, co-written, co-produced and starring Keaton, it is a side-splitting document of a comedy genius at the peak of his powers and boasts some of the finest slapstick set pieces ever committed to film. Featuring what is perhaps the most thrilling chase sequence ever committed to film, The General is a perennial classic and stands with the very finest examples of silent comedy, including Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights, Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last! and Keaton’s own Sherlock Jr. The Masters of Cinema Series is honoured to present The General on 4K UHD for the first time in the UK.
