After a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Sagnier) remains Michelle’s great puzzlement: how can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Balasko), whose son (Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied her.

Released on July 3, 1985, “Back to the Future” introduced audiences to Marty McFly (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Michael J. Fox), a small-town California teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean invented by his eccentric friend, Doc Brown (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd). Stranded in the past, Marty must ensure his teenage parents (Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) fall in love or risk erasing his own existence. With time running out, he teams up with a younger Doc in a last-ditch effort to harness a bolt of lightning and return to 1985.

Daiei Gothic Vol 2: Japanese Ghost Stories
(1960 — Japan) Japan’s classic ghost stories are brought to the screen by masters of the genre, Tokuzo Tanaka (“The Snow Woman”) and Kimiyoshi Yasuda (“Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare”). In “The Demon of Mount Oe,” a group of mighty warriors is sent to eliminate a demon who steals women from the imperial capital of Kyoto. On the way, they face a satanic bull, a giant spider and a diabolical witch, but the closer they come to their goal, the more they realize that the demon they’ve been ordered to kill is far more human than they were led to believe. In “The Haunted Castle,” a blind monk is killed in a cowardly manner by a samurai lord. When the monk’s sister is ordered to become the lord’s concubine, she commits suicide and transfers her grudge to their black cat, who assumes the human form of one of the lord’s ladies-in-waiting and begins to wreak havoc around the castle court. The lord’s Machiavellian right-hand man (Rokko Toura) and a young swordsman (Kojiro Hongo) combine forces to solve the mystery and stop the supernatural menace. In “The Ghost of Kasane Swamp,” a samurai’s wife tries to repay her husband’s debt with her body but is caught in bed with the money lender and they are both murdered by her husband who dumps their bodies in a nearby swamp.

A History of Violence

Deep Crimson
(1996) One of the peaks of subversive Mexican director Arturo Ripstein’s cinema of outsiders, this deliriously perverse portrait of obsessive love dares audiences to see the humanity in the most sordid of antiheroes. A lonely-hearts advertisement leads lusty nurse Coral (Regina Orozco) to Nicolás (Daniel Giménez Cacho), a con man with whom she forges an increasingly intense, twisted bond as they crisscross 1940s Mexico, robbing and murdering the women he seduces. Blending sweeping melodrama with macabre humor and eruptions of berserk violence, Ripstein transforms one of the most infamous true-crime stories of the 20th century into a haunting vision of how love can give way to madness. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration of the director’s cut, supervised and approved by director Arturo Ripstein, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.

Edward Scissorhands 35th Anniversary
(1990) Director: Tim Burton. Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker, Vincent Price, Alan Arkin. Rating: PG-13. Running time: 105 minutes. “Edward Scissorhands” remains one of cinema’s most enchanting modern fables. A scientist (Vincent Price) builds an animated human being — the gentle Edward (Johnny Depp). The scientist dies before he can finish assembling Edward, though, leaving the young man with a freakish appearance accentuated by the scissor blades he has instead of hands. Loving suburban saleswoman Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers Edward and takes him home, where he falls for Peg’s teen daughter (Winona Ryder). However, despite his kindness and artistic talent, Edward’s hands make him an outcast. Edward’s story still resonates today with its timeless message: to embrace what makes us different, and to discover that wonder often lies just beyond the unknown.

The Island
(1985 — Hong Kong) Perhaps the most accomplished genre picture directed by British-Chinese filmmaker Po-Chih Leong (“Hong Kong 1941”), “The Island” is Hong Kong’s answer to the likes of“ Deliverance,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” “The Hills Have Eyes,” and “Motel Hell” – a film that transports the visceral survival horror so popular in the 1970s and 1980s from the backwoods of America to a remote island in East Asia. At the height of summer, teacher Mr Cheung (John Sham) takes a small group of his students on an excursion to explore a rural island that he assumes is uninhabited. But upon arrival, Cheung and his class discover that they are not alone – the island is, in fact, home to three deranged brothers and their equally deranged mother.

Presented on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere outside of Asia, from a brand new 2K restoration. Formats: Blu-ray.
