DANZA MACABRA VOLUME 1: THE ITALIAN GOTHIC COLLECTION

Saturday 25th February 2023 - posted by Eric_Cotenas

In a genre known for its castles, crypts and candelabras, Italian Gothic also embraced themes of violence, madness, and sexual deviance. With these 4 films, those impulses dare to go even deeper: In 1964's The Monster of the Opera, director Renato Polselli and screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi craft a surreal erotic shocker set within a contemporary dance troupe. Perhaps the genre's rarest film, the berserk supernatural narrative of 1965's The Seventh Grave also makes it among the strangest. For 1970's Scream of the Demon Lover, director José Luis Merino gathers classic traditions, then strips them naked and ties them to a torture rack. And 1971's Lady Frankenstein delivers iconic EuroCult talent on both sides of the camera for one of the most luridly entertaining shockers of the decade. The films in this collection are now fully restored from their original negatives, with 12+ collective hours of Special Features.

PRE-ORDER: ANDRZEJ ŻUŁAWSKI - THREE FILMS (THE THIRD PART OF THE NIGHT / THE DEVIL / ON THE SILVER GLOBE)

Saturday 25th February 2023 - posted by Eric_Cotenas

An uncompromising visionary and a true maverick of European cinema, the Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present ANDRZEJ ŻUŁAWSKI: THREE FILMS , all making their UK debuts on Blu-ray from new 4K restorations.

Rich with multi-layered symbolism and apocalyptic imagery, The Third Part of the Night is Żuławski’s highly influential debut feature film. After his whole family is slaughtered during the Nazi-occupation of Poland, Michal (Leszek Teleszyński) decides to join the resistance but descends into madness after encountering a doppelgänger of his murdered wife.

The Devil is a violent tale of Satanic seduction during the Prussian invasion of Poland in the 17th century, which proved so controversial upon release that it was banned for 16 years.

And finally, On the Silver Globe, Żuławski’s masterpiece about a team of astronauts who land on a desolate planet and start a new society. When filming was 80% complete, the Polish government ordered the production to be shut down and all the negatives be destroyed. Miraculously, the original film reels were preserved and ten years later the film was presented at the Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim.

LIMITED EDITION TWO-DISC BLU-RAY BOX SET (3000 COPIES ONLY) FEATURING: - Hardbound Slipcase
- All films presented in 1080p HD from definitive 4K restorations
