The Naked Kiss (1964)
GarryA
Confronting writer/producer/director Samuel Fuller again challenges his audience with uncomfortable issues. On the surface this looks like a Joan Crawford melodrama, but there is much going on beneath the facade of everyday life. An uncomfortable and troubling film. A good transfer and an under-rated star in Constance Towers.

Troy: Director's Cut (Blu-ray) (2007)
Brandon V
|
"Bigger. Braver. Bolder." In May 2008, the extended Director's Cut of Troy was finally released in Australia in High Definition. Troy was one of the most expensive films ever made, but it was severely trimmed for its original theatrical release in 2004. But with the support of Warner Bros., Director Wolfgang Petersen has finally delivered his original artistic vision. With a fresh re-edited master print, featuring over 30 minutes of new material, this new bloodier and more adult version runs for almost 200 minutes.

Gertrud (Directors Suite) (1964)
Trevor D
|
Silent master Carl Th. Dreyer (The Passion of Joan of Arc) made his final film, Gertrud, in 1964. A strange beast it is. Gertrud is a woman who leaves her successful husband in the search for real love and predictably finds it hard to attain. The film is notable, even notorious, for the highly stylized, declamatory dream-like style of the acting, which sees it every bit as controversial and challenging today as it was in the 60's. For those who dare there is a good transfer on offer and some useful extras including an excellent commentary track.

Shock Corridor (1963)
GarryA
|
Made by director Sam Fuller to shock 1963 audiences, Shock Corridor survives as a still jolting experience, but in ways you may not expect. A harsh and complex film with an enormous dramatic wallop in a transfer which never detracts from the film, and may even add to the experience. Unique.

King and the Clown, The (Wang-ui Namja) (2005)
AdamG
|
Two years after taking the Korean box office by storm, this medieval tragedy makes its way to Region 4 DVD. Rarely will you find such an engaging tale of laughter, lust and intrigue.
