Tarzan of the Apes
(1918) Edgar Rice Burroughs’ hero has thrilled movie audiences since the days of the silent screen. Tarzan first swung from the trees in “Tarzan of the Apes” (1918) with the brawny Elmo Lincoln in the title role. With various Louisiana locations serving as a jungle backdrop, director Scott Sidney told the traditional tale of how the orphaned heir to the Greystoke fortune became lord of the jungle. Billed in the old adverts as “The most startling and unforgettable story ever written,” the plot involves a search for the missing Greystoke led by Dr. Porter (Thomas Jefferson), which finds Tarzan in the middle of a brutal vendetta. It appears Tarzan is out to avenge the killing of Kala, the ape who raised him. Soon everyone learns it is not wise to make Tarzan angry. “Tarzan of the Apes” also stars Enid Markey as Porter’s beautiful daughter, Jane, the woman Tarzan loves. As the early promos promised, “You NEVER Will See Another Production Like It!” This release includes the bonus feature, “The Adventures of Tarzan” (1928). Both features are newly restored.

Born in Flames
(1983) A blistering rallying cry issued loud, clear, and unapologetically queer, Lizzie Borden’s explosive postpunk provocation is a DIY fantasia of female rebellion set in America 10 years after a revolution that supposedly transformed the country into a democratic socialist utopia. In reality, racism, sexism, and economic inequality are as virulent as ever, and a band of radicals—led by Black, lesbian, and working-class women—join forces to fight back. Told through a furiously fractured, kinetically edited flurry of television news broadcasts, pirate radio transmissions, agitprop, and protests shot guerrilla-style on the streets of New York City, “Born in Flames” is a shock wave of feminist futurism that’s both an essential document of its time and radically ahead of it. Formats: Blu-ray, with 2K digital restoration—preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with restoration funding from the Golden Globe Foundation and The Film Foundation, and supervised and approved by director Lizzie Borden—with uncompressed monaural soundtrack. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).
