The Breakfast Club
(1985) What happens when five strangers end up together in Saturday detention? Badass posturing, gleeful misbehavior, and a potent dose of angst. With this exuberant, disarmingly candid film, writer-director John Hughes established himself as the bard of American youth, vividly and empathetically capturing how teenagers hang out, act up, and goof off. “The Breakfast Club” brings together an assortment of adolescent archetypes—the uptight popular girl (Molly Ringwald), the stoic jock (Emilio Estevez), the foulmouthed rebel (Judd Nelson), the virginal bookworm (Anthony Michael Hall), and the kooky recluse (Ally Sheedy)—and watches them shed their personae and emerge into unlikely friendships. With its highly quotable dialogue and star-making performances, this exploration of the trials of adolescence became an era-defining pop-culture phenomenon, one whose influence now spans generations.

Burden of Dreams
(1982) For nearly five years, acclaimed German director Werner Herzog desperately tried to complete one of the most ambitious and difficult projects of his career: “Fitzcarraldo,” the story of one man’s attempt to build an opera house deep in the Amazon jungle. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank captured the unfolding of this production, made more perilous by Herzog’s determination to shoot the most daunting scenes without models or special effects, including a sequence requiring hundreds of Indigenous locals to pull a full-size 320-ton steamship over a small mountain. The result is an extraordinary document of the filmmaking process and a unique look into the single-minded mission of one of cinema’s most fearless directors. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray.

However, the professor is so taken with the idea of a person who can be both male and female that he refuses to perform the operation. He believes that the future of humanity would be best served by increasing the number of intersex individuals. So he creates what he calls a “sex maker” – something like a pacemaker but this time installed in the crotch area. It gives the recipient the ability to control and increase their sexual intensity. The professor believes his invention could change the world for the better, bringing about a more peaceful and balanced society. Unfortunately for him, a gang of incompetent criminals have been hired to kidnap Eva and remove the sex maker from her body, then giving it to their boss who, being impotent, believes the device will save his relationship with his wife, the glamorous but frustrated Gerda.

Sam Mason-Bell’s haunting “Envy” follows a couple lured into a tragic erotic encounter, while “Sloth”, from Francesco Foletto and Elisa Carrera Fumagalli, spirals into self-harm. Michael J. Epstein’s “Pride” tackles religious repression and fractured identity. “Lust,” by Domiziano Cristopharo, explores a disturbing AI relationship. Jason Impey’s “Gluttony” riffs on grindhouse cannibal flicks, while Poison Rouge’s “Greed” closes the anthology with a harrowing tale of sex work, debt and damnation. Dripping in gore, laced with nudity, and steeped in sorrow, “7 Sins” is more than shock for shock’s sake, it’s a meditation on why we fall. Formats: DVD. (IndiePix Films).

Abbas Kiarostami: Early Shorts and Features
(1970–1989) 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. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Read more here(The Criterion Collection).

Él
(1953) 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, Élstands as the director’s greatest excursion into melodrama, a vivid portrayal of society’s inability to restrain the irrational urges of the human id. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD. Extras: Read more here(The Criterion Collection).
Hell’s Angels
(1930) 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. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray. Extras: Read more here(The Criterion Collection).

Howards End
(1992) Director: James Ivory. Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter, James Wilby, Samuel West, Nicola Duffett. Rating: PG. Running time: 142inutes.

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.

Riefenstahl
(2025 — Germany) Director: Andres Veiel. Rating: NR. Running time: 115 minutes. 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.

Secret Mall Apartment
(2025) Director: Jeremy Workman. Rating: NR. Running time: 91 minutes.

They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity, and even secretly constructed a brick wall with a locking door, smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art, a clubhouse to coordinate their artistic charity, and finally, a 750 square foot space that sticks it to the man.

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 “The Wicked Go to Hell” (1955), two inmates (Henri Vidal and Serge Reggiani) join forces to stage a daring escape. In “Nude in a White Car” (Toi… le venin) (1958), a drifter (Robert Hossein, also director) is tempted into a night of passion by a pair of mystery blondes (Marina Vlady and Odile Versois). In “The Taste of Violence” (1961) a revolutionary kidnaps the daughter (Giovanna Ralli) of a dictator to negotiate a prisoner swap with his two lieutenants Chamaco (Mario Adorf) and Chico (Hans H. Neubert). This limited edition box set features 2K restorations by Gaumont for each film, presented on three discs. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Audio commentaries on each film; interviews; featurettes; limited edition booklet. (Radiance Films/MVD Entertainment).

Eyes Wide Shut
(1999) Stanley Kubrick’s career-capping “Eyes Wide Shut” unfolds in a dreamscape vision of New York City, where doctor Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), confront the unconscious desires, jealousies, and fears threatening their marriage. A Christmastime odyssey into a surreal sexual underworld whose hidden power structures are laid frighteningly bare, the film marks the fulfillment of the director’s decades-long desire to adapt Arthur Schnitzler’s novella “Dream Story” and the culmination of his obsessive interest in the relationship between institutional authority and the individual. Released in 1999, the film also serves as a fitting coda to a century of cinema, by one of its greatest visionaries—an endlessly tantalizing labyrinth whose myriad symbols, mysteries, and meanings are still being unraveled.
