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. Formats: 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo + Digital Code, VOD, Digital. Extras: Audio commentary by director Tim Burton; audio commentary by composer Danny Elfman; behind–the-scenes feaaturette.

Their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility, which Ruth does not remember that she had previously selected for herself. Among her fellow memory care residents, Ruth feels lost and adrift, certain she has found herself somewhere she does not belong.

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. And when one of Cheung’s students refuses a marriage proposal from the youngest – and perhaps most disturbed – member of this deeply strange family, both the teacher and the young people in his care soon come to wish that they had stayed at home. Presented on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere outside of Asia, from a brand new 2K restoration. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Limited edition collector’s booklet featuring an interview with Po-Chih Leong and revised introduction notes on “The Island” by film writer, producer and film festival executive Roger Garcia; new audio commentary with East Asian cinema expert Frank Djeng (NY Asian Film Festival); new audio commentary with genre cinema experts Mike Leeder and Arne Venema; “Surviving the Shoot” interview with director Po-Chih Leong from 2023, courtesy of Frédéric Ambroisine; trailer.
