The Big Heat
(1953) Noir doesn’t get any more hard-boiled than this scorching tale of vice and retribution, a film that finds director Fritz Lang working at the peak of his Hollywood style — stripped to the bone, simmering with outrage, and fatalistic to the core. A tightly wound Glenn Ford stars as a homicide detective whose investigation into a sprawling crime syndicate becomes a shockingly personal, hate-fueled quest for revenge. Co-starring an iconic Gloria Grahame as the mink-coated gangster’s moll with her own axe to grind, and featuring a supporting cast led by a sensationally sleazy Lee Marvin, “The Big Heat” hits with raw, unstoppable force. 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).

Barry Lyndon
(1975) Stanley Kubrick bent the conventions of the historical drama to his own will in this dazzling vision of a pitiless aristocracy, adapted from a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. In picaresque detail, “Barry Lyndon” chronicles the adventures of an incorrigible trickster (Ryan O’Neal) whose opportunism takes him from an Irish farm to the battlefields of the Seven Years’ War and the parlors of high society. For the most sumptuously crafted film of his career, Kubrick recreated the decadent surfaces and intricate social codes of the period, evoking the light and texture of eighteenth-century painting with the help of pioneering cinematographic techniques and lavish costume and production design, all of which earned Academy Awards. The result is a masterpiece — a sardonic, devastating portrait of a vanishing world whose opulence conceals the moral vacancy at its heart. Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, with new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack; alternate 5.1 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio. One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special features. Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).

Weary of the world of samurai honor and samurai killing, he attempts suicide in the middle of a huge swordfight by leaping into a fast flowing river. He is saved by the Bohachi clan, a gang of vicious pimps who have forsaken all honor and whose cynicism outruns even his own. But ultimately, he tires even of their nihilistic worldview, leading to a final showdown in the snow where he takes on a small army of brutal killers. Full of flying limbs, naked lady ninjas, drug-induced hallucinations, cackling villains and wild action set-pieces, “Bohachi Bushido” is one of director Teruo Ishii’s most deranged and impressive spectacles. The world HD disc debut of this incredible cult film in a brand new exclusive 4K restoration. Formats: Blu-ray.

The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
The release of François Truffaut’s “The 400 Blows” in 1959 shook world cinema to its foundations. The now-classic portrait of troubled adolescence introduced a major new director in the cinematic landscape and was an inaugural gesture of the revolutionary French New Wave. But “The 400 Blows” not only introduced the world to Truffaut — it also unveiled his most indelible creation, Antoine Doinel. Initially patterned closely after Truffaut himself, the Doinel character (played by the irrepressible and iconic Jean-Pierre Léaud) reappeared in four subsequent films that knowingly portrayed his myriad frustrations and romantic entanglements, from his stormy teens through marriage, children, divorce, and adulthood. This box set presents Truffaut’s celebrated saga in its entirety: the feature films “The 400 Blows,” “Stolen Kisses,” “Bed and Board,” and “Love on the Run,” and the short subject “Antoine and Colette.” Formats: 4K UHD + Blu-ray, Blu-ray, with K digital restorations of all five films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks.

All We Imagine as Light
(2024 — India) Payal Kapadia’s acclaimed fiction-feature debut is a radiant ode to hope-giving connections forged amid big-city anonymity. 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. Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, “All We Imagine as Light” is a deep-rooted study of the fortifying power of friendship, propelled by moving performances and the director’s compassionate eye.

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).

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.
