This Week’s Best Bets:

The folks at The Criterion Collection are bringing out two Alain Resnais films this week on Blu-ray and DVD. First up is “Muriel, or the Time of Return” (1963), Resnais’s follow-up to “Last Year at Marienbad”; it’s as radical a reflection on the nature of time and memory as its predecessor. The always luminous Delphine Seyrig (“Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles”) stars as an antique shop owner and widow in Boulogne-sur-Mer, whose past comes back to haunt her when a former lover reenters her life. Meanwhile, her stepson is tormented by his own ghosts, related to his service in France’s recently ended war in Algeria. Featuring a multilayered script by Jean Cayrol, and inventively edited to evoke its middle-class characters’ political and personal realities, the fragmented, emotionally powerful “Muriel” reminds viewers that the past is always present. In a new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray … Criterion follows that with “Night and Fog” (1955)” Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek in “Night and Fog (Nuit et brouillard),” one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust. Juxtaposing the stillness of the abandoned camps’ empty buildings with haunting wartime footage, Resnais investigates the cyclical nature of humanity’s violence against humanity, and presents the devastating suggestion that such horrors could occur again. new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray.

Also noteworthy this week: Scream Factory is bringing out this week the Blu-ray debut of “The Return of the Living Dead<" (1985) in a Collector’s Edition. Writer-director Dan O’Bannon (“Alien,” “Lifeforce”) puts an uproarious spin on the zombie apocalypse movie in this cult classic, starring Clu Gulager, James Karen, Don Calfa. Considered one of the campiest undead romps of its time, the film helped launch the career of scream queen Linnea Quigley and features a killer soundtrack with tracks from many songs from punk artists such as The Cramps, T.S.O.L. SSQ and 45 Grave. The two disc set, which features a new 2K scan of the inter-positive, is just loaded with bonus features, documentaries, interviews and commentaries … “Visionary” barely begins to describe “A Touch of Zen” (1971) by King Hu, the masterpiece of Chinese cinema and martial arts moviemaking that depicts the journey of Yang (Hsu Feng), a fugitive noblewoman who seeks refuge in a remote, and allegedly haunted, village. The sanctuary she finds with a shy scholar and two aides in disguise is shattered when a nefarious swordsman uncovers her identity, pitting the four against legions of blade-wielding opponents. At once a wuxia film, the tale of a spiritual quest, and a study in human nature, “A Touch of Zen” is an unparalleled work in Hu’s formidable career and an epic of the highest order, characterized by breathtaking action choreography, stunning widescreen landscapes, and innovative editing. On DVD, Blu-ray Disc, with a new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray.
