Liverpool
A film by Lisandro Alonso
Argentina, 2008
“One of the great films of our times... I feel something in Liverpool that is so special and so rare in cinema these days”? ?
Daniel Kasman, MUBI |
 |
A sailor, Farrel, leaves his ship and begins a lengthy journey to wintry Tierra del Fuego’s interior, to an isolated village and family that he hasn’t seen in years. The route seems familiar to him, and we gradually piece together his relationship with the people and community he finds there. From the opening sequences on Farrel’s ship, to the spectacular harshness of his destination, Alonso is meticulous in mapping the sights and sounds of the landscape and Farrel’s personal journey into the past.
Heralded at film festivals around the world, Liverpool has established Lisandro Alonso as one of contemporary cinema’s most acclaimed and exciting filmmakers.
The DVD is presented in a brand new director-approved anamorphic digital transfer and also includes
Untitled (Letter for Serra) / Sin t?tulo (Carta para Serra) ? a new short film by
Lisandro Alonso, available for the first time anywhere on DVD.

Red Psalm (M?g k?r a n?p)
A film by Mikl?s Jancs?
Hungary, 1971
"An awesome fusion of form with content and politics with poetry... May well be the greatest Hungarian film of the 60s and 70s"
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
 |
Mikl?s Jancs? is one of cinema's greatest visionaries and Red Psalm is a formidable work of art from a master filmmaker at the peak of his powers.
Radical in execution and poetic in its achievement, Red Psalm reaches beyond political dogma to expose a more universal, and deeper, truth that remains relevant today.
The DVD is presented in a brand new director-approved anamorphic digital transfer with restored picture and sound.
It also includes
Message of Stones (A k?vek ?zenete): Hegyalja - the third film in Mikl?s Jancs?'s renowned but rarely seen documentary series Message of Stones, and an expansive new essay by author and film programmer Peter Hames.

Our Beloved Month of August
(Aquele Querido M?s de Agosto)
A film by Miguel Gomes
Portugal, 2008
"A hybrid work of bewitching perversity... a tender and perceptive portrait of a richly ordinary enclosed world"
Sight & Sound |
 |
A tantalizing mix of documentary, fiction and everything in-between, Miguel Gomes' multi-award winning film is his intoxicating love song to rural Portugal... and to cinema. Intricately structured and beautifully filmed, Gomes creates a narrative that slowly and craftily emerges into the sunlight from under its documentary canvas, through the entrancing use of visuals, sound and music.
The DVD is presented in a brand new director-approved anamorphic digital transfer with restored picture and sound. It also includes Miguel Gomes' award-wining 2006 short film Canticle of All Creatures (C?ntico das Criaturas) and a new essay by Sight & Sound deputy editor Kieron Corless.

Szindb?d
A film by Zolt?n Husz?rik
Hungary, 1971
"Szindb?d is one of these rare breed cinematic gems; one so bright, brilliant, and unique, that it will change the way you think about cinema as an art and as a mode of expression "
L.K. Weston, DVD Outsider |
 |
Considered a great 'lost masterpiece' of international cinema, Szindb?d was chosen by Hungarian writers and filmmakers as one of the three best Hungarian films of all time. An erotic elegy, at once lyrical and surreal, Szindb?d is a work of intoxicating, almost overwhelming physical beauty ? a unique experience unlike any other in modern cinema.
The DVD is presented in a brand new anamorphic digital transfer with restored picture and sound, and extras include a filmed appreciation of the film by filmmaker Peter Strickland, and an expansive new essay by writer and film historian Michael Brooke.
