Set against the hypnotic luminescence of Mumbai, “All We Imagine as Light” follows three very different women working at the same hospital — Prabha (Kani Kusruti), Anu (Divya Prabha), and Parvathy (Chhaya Kadam) — each contending with personal and material struggles amid a modernizing India riven by gentrification and rising Hindu nationalism. When eviction drives Parvathy back to her childhood village, the trio embark on an enchanting getaway by the sea, where they shake loose their remaining secrets and — in one otherworldly sequence — a lingering ghost.

The Beast to Die
(1980 — Japan) Deeply scarred by what he witnessed on battlefields across Asia, a young war photographer (Yusaku Matsuda) returns to the bustling streets of Tokyo, plotting a series of brutal murders and robberies that

Carnal Knowledge
(1971) Amid the sexual revolution and social upheaval of the early 1970s, acclaimed director Mike Nichols delivered a zeitgeist-defining examination of American mores. Sharply written by Jules Feiffer, this acerbic drama flashes through more than 20 years in the lives of two college buddies (Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel) whose casual chauvinism is all fun and games — until it’s not. As the women who suffer and see through the friends’ insecure posturing, Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret, Rita Moreno, Carol Kane, and Cynthia O’Neal form an extraordinary ensemble that gives the film its soul. So controversial it became embroiled in an obscenity case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, “Carnal Knowledge” remains startling for its unnervingly frank look at postwar masculinity. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. In the 4K UHD edition: One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).

Marion “Cobra” Cobretti (Stallone) is the man the LAPD calls when standard police procedure isn’t enough. Witness to a bloody murder, Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen) finds herself a target and is placed under Cobretti’s protection. But repeated attempts on her life lead Cobretti to believe it’s not just the work of one lone psycho wreaking bloody havoc across LA, but a murderous cult with plans for a new world order. An era-defining example of glossy high-octane Hollywood cinema, “Cobra” arrives in a sparkling new restoration with a wealth of new and archival extras. Brand new 4K restoration of the film from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films.
Formats: 4K Ultra HD. Extras: Read more here (Arrow Video/MVD Entertainment).

Iwaki meanwhile has his sights set on the sweet and innocent Michiko (Tomoko Ai), but any potential romance is hampered by her overprotective brother Tsugami (Sonny Chiba) and Mitsuda’s bullish plans to make Michiko his own trophy. Does Iwaki take the straight and narrow option, or opt for a more dangerous road? Formats: Blu-ray.

The Nightwatch Collection
(1994) Years before Nordic Noir took the TV world by storm with such hits as “The Killing” and “The Bridge,” writer-director Ole Bornedal had already put the genre on the map with “Nightwatch,” an unforgettably nail-biting thriller and the breakout film of both Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”) and Kim Bodnia (“Pusher”). Law student Martin (Coster-Waldau) works as a night watchman at the morgue to help fund his studies, while a spate of grisly murders is shaking Copenhagen. His newfound nightly duties and friendship with the devil-may-care Jens (Bodnia) put a strain on his relationship with his girlfriend Kalinka (Sofie Gråbøl, “The Killing”). But when inspector Wörmer (Ulf Pilgaard, “Borgen”) begins to suspect he may be behind the killings, Martin must race to find the real killer and clear his name. Set thirty years after the first film, “Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever” sees Martin’s daughter Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal, “The Bridge”) following in his footsteps working nights at the Copenhagen morgue to understand the events that shook her father so deeply. But a new series of murders begins in a twisted echo of the past, and Martin must face his trauma head on and team up with Emma to stop history from repeating itself. Full of captivating performances and foreboding suspense, “Nightwatch” and “Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever” represent the high watermark of Nordic Noir and are a must-have for any genre film aficionado. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Read more here (Arrow Video/MVD Entertainment).
Rosa La Rose, Fille Publique
(1986 — France) On the streets of Paris, Rosa ‘la rose’ (Marianne Basler) is the belle of Les Halles. With no shortage of clients, she is beloved by her fellow working girls and spoiled by her pimp Gilbert (Jean Sorel). For her, this is a charmed life – that is until her 20th birthday arrives. Across the floor, she locks eyes with Julien (Pierre Cosso), a blue-collar worker who sees something deeper beyond her fun-loving façade. Almost Shakespearean in its execution, Paul Vecchiali’s underseen drama explores class consciousness and female sexuality with startling precision. Anchored by a magnetic central performance from the then 20-year-old Marianne Basler, “Rosa la rose, fille publique” is a true hidden gem. 2K restoration approved by director Paul Vecchiali. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Interview with critic David Jenkins; archival interview with director Paul Vecchiali; archival interview with actors Marianne Basler and Jean Sorel; reversible sleeve featuring designs based on original promotional materials; limited edition booklet featuring archival interviews and new writing by Marina Ashioti; limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings.

Rust
(2025) Alec Baldwin, Patrick Scott McDermott, Travis Fimmel, Frances Fisher, Josh Hopkins. Infamous outlaw Harland Rust breaks his estranged grandson Lucas out of prison, after Lucas is convicted to hang for an accidental murder. The two must outrun legendary U.S Marshal Wood Helm and bounty hunter Fenton “Preacher” Lang who are hot on their tails. Deeply buried secrets rise from the ashes and an unexpected familial bond begins to form as the mismatched duo tries to survive the merciless American Frontier. The film gained notoriety for a shooting incident in October 2021 in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally killed when a live round was discharged from a prop gun handed to Baldwin.

The Stuff
(1985) “Are You Eating It … Or Is It Eating You?” The Stuff is the new dessert taking supermarket shelves by storm. It’s delicious, low in calories and better still doesn’t stain the family carpet … What’s not to like? Well, for a start, it has a life of its own, and we’re not talking friendly live bacteria. Young Jason seems to be the only one who doesn’t love The Stuff – in fact, he won’t go anywhere near it, after having seen the pudding crawling around the fridge one night. What’s more, everyone who eats The Stuff has started acting really weird. Now, teaming up with wise-cracking industrial saboteur Mo, Jason must put a stop to The Stuff and the organization behind it or face a gooey, gloopy demise. Coming courtesy of horror auteur Larry Cohen (director of the “It’s Alive” series and scribe behind the “Maniac Cop” trilogy), “The Stuff” is a titillating treat for the tastebuds which blends elements of films such as “Street Trash” with the straight-up B-movie flavor of “The Blob.” Formats: 4K Ultra HD (2-disc set). Extras: Read more here (Arrow Video/MVD Entertainment).
The Tattooed Dragon

You Can Count on Me
(2000) Celebrated playwright Kenneth Lonergan first brought his rich, humanist vision to the screen with this soulful look at the complexities of a sibling relationship whose roots are as knotted as they are deep. Years after Sammy (Laura Linney) and her younger brother, Terry (Mark Ruffalo), lost their parents in a car crash, small-town single mother Sammy is plunged into another crisis when the troubled, adrift Terry comes home for what turns out to be an extended stay—one that could either bring them closer together or tear them apart. With infinite grace and his peerless ear for dialogue, Lonergan offers something all too rare on-screen: beautifully flawed human beings whose journeys offer achingly relatable insight into what changes when you grow up—and what doesn’t. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Kenneth Lonergan, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.
