*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Like an analog Frederick Wiseman, legendary cinéma vérité documentarian Larry Wessel (Ultramegalopolis, Taurobolium, Eric & Shaye) has tackled a wide array of eccentric subjects and captured some of underground cinema’s most striking and unforgettable visuals, equipped solely with his camcorder and a nearly non-existent budget. An aesthetic terrorist of the highest order, Wessel’s simplistic, fly on the wall approach to documentary filmmaking has allowed his subjects to reveal their stories and actions in the most candid and uninhibited means conceivable. In SEX, DEATH & THE HOLLYWOOD MYSTIQUE, Wessel turns his camcorder lens on the seedy and salacious underbelly of '90s Hollywood by profiling the lives and confessions of several enthralling Tinseltown luminaries. Notorious L.A. novelist and true crime scribe John Gilmore (author of Severed, The Garbage People) shares intimate and lurid details about the Manson Family murders, the “Black Dahlia” Elizabeth Short, the “Pied Piper of Tucson” killer Charles Schmid, and his early friendship with a young James Dean. Legendary filmmaker Curtis Harrington (Night Tide, Whoever Slew Auntie Roo, Queen of Blood) recalls his personal interactions with classic silver screen legends Gloria Swanson and Marlene Dietrich. Famous Monsters of Filmland publisher Forrest J. Ackerman gives a memorabilia tour of his jaw-dropping “Ackermansion” and recounts setting Metropolis director Fritz Lang up on a blind date. Most poignantly, Wessel cross cuts all these anecdotes with a day in the life of sex worker Kelly Monroe, who candidly preps and plans for an evening of clients from a single, seedy hotel room locale. Featuring additional appearances by Karine Elkins (Superstarlet A.D.) and disabled trans icon Sandie Crisp aka The Goddess Bunny, Wessel’s SEX, DEATH & THE HOLLYWOOD MYSTIQUE combines the true crime, biographical, and travelogue aesthetics of documentary filmmaking into one sprawling and unforgettable 2.5 hour SOV epic. Bonus Features: 1. Audio commentary with director Larry Wessel 2. Audio commentary with film writer & publisher David Flint 3. “All That Glitters is Sold” -a visual essay by film journalist and author Heather Drain 4. BONUS MOVIE: CARNY TALK (1995 / 71 min.) -Larry Wessel’s conversational and revealing profile of legendary artist Robert Williams (Juxtapoz, Zap Comix, Appetite for Destruction) 5. “King of the Underground” -director Larry Wessel reads an excerpt from his upcoming memoir 6.

With his provocative feature debut, twenty-six-year-old Steven Soderbergh trained his focus on the complexities of human intimacy and deception in the modern age. Housewife Ann (Andie MacDowell) feels distant from her lawyer husband, John (Peter Gallagher), who is sleeping with her sister (Laura San Giacomo). When John’s old friend Graham (a magnetic, Cannes-award-winning James Spader) comes to town, Ann is drawn to the soft-spoken outsider, eventually uncovering his startling private obsession: videotaping women as they confess their deepest desires. A piercingly intelligent and flawlessly performed chamber piece, in which the video camera becomes a charged metaphor for the characters’ isolation, the Palme d’Or–winning sex, lies, and videotape changed the landscape of American film, helping pave the way for the thriving independent scene of the 1990s.

THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE! In 1988, South African filmmaker Cedric Sundström - whose underground short SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN... had provoked both controversy and accolades - took a group of skilled actors to a disused railway warehouse in Pretoria to shoot the story of an unorthodox asylum for the provocatively insane. With a semi-improvised script, a Roeg-meets-Argento style palette, and startling bursts of graphic violence, it was immediately banned by the government. It has remained virtually unseen - anywhere in the world - until now. Rufus Swart (DUST DEVIL), Adrienne Pearce (PURGATORY) and Simon Sabela (ZULU DAWN) star in this psycho-sexual shocker from the producer of STONE, now scanned uncut in 2K from the director's own 35mm print - the only film element in existence - and featuring a career-spanning interview with Sundström.

Saddle up for a raucous and robust western adventure that packs great action and the crackling chemistry of screen icons Sean Connery (The Great Train Robbery) and Brigitte Bardot (Viva Maria!). Based on the novel by Louis L'Amour (The Man Called Noon), Shalako is a handsome and rousing western that delivers nonstop thrills ... with both barrels blazing. Gutsy gunslinger Shalako (Connery) is a loner who looks out for number one, until he finds himself rescuing and falling for a beautiful countess (Bardot) under attack by Apache Indians. But when Shalako discovers that the countess is part of a European hunting party that refuses to be led to safety, he must summon all his courage to fight the Apache and save the woman he loves... or die trying! Beautifully shot in scope by James Bond veteran Ted Moore (From Russia with Love) and wonderfully directed by the great Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet). The all-star cast includes Stephen Boyd (Ben-Hur), Jack Hawkins (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Peter van Eyck (The Wages of Fear), Honor Blackman (Goldfinger) and Alexander Knox (The Vikings). Special Features: Audio Commentary by Filmmaker Alex Cox | Trailers

One of the iconoclastic Pier Paolo Pasolini’s most radical provocations, Teorema finds the auteur moving beyond the poetic, proletarian earthiness that first won him renown and notoriety with a coolly cryptic exploration of bourgeois spiritual emptiness. Terence Stamp stars as the mysterious stranger—perhaps an angel, perhaps a devil—who, one by one, seduces the members of a wealthy Milanese family (including European cinema icons Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti, Laura Betti, and Anne Wiazemsky), precipitating an existential crisis in each of their lives. Unfolding nearly wordlessly in a procession of sacred and profane images, this tantalizing metaphysical riddle—blocked from exhibition by the Catholic Church for degeneracy—is at once a blistering Marxist treatise on sex, religion, and art and a primal scream into the void. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • Alternate English-dubbed soundtrack, featuring the voice of actor Terence Stamp and others • Audio commentary from 2007 featuring Robert S. C. Gordon, author of Pasolini: Forms of Subjectivity • Introduction by director Pier Paolo Pasolini from 1969 • Interview from 2007 with Stamp • New interview with John David Rhodes, author of Stupendous, Miserable City: Pasolini’s Rome • New English subtitle translation • More! • PLUS: An essay by film scholar James Quandt

Ingmar Bergman's Shame is at once an examination of the violent legacy of World War II and a scathing response to the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam. Max von Sydow and LIV Ullmann star as musicians living in quiet retreat on a remote island farm, until the civil war that drove them from the city catches up with them there. Amid the chaos of the military struggle, vividly evoked by pyrotechnics and by Sven Nykvist's handheld camera work, the two are faced with impossible moral choices that tear at the fabric of their relationship. This film, which contains some of the most devastating scenes in Bergman's oeuvre, shows the impact of war on individual lives.

Franck (Raphae l Personnaz) is an eager rookie homicide squad inspector. When a woman is found with her throat cut, he shrewdly unearths parallels between previously unrelated cases. Before he knows it, Franck is caught up in an eight-year obsessive hunt for Serial Killer 1, a man whose very existence is questioned by others. Loosely based on the investigation into real-life murderer Guy Georges, aka the Beast Of The Bastille (whose lurking disorder is deftly captured by Adama Niane), the story milks suspense from the procedural aspects of the manhunt, the false leads, dead ends, and the stifling bureaucracy of a police force hindered by dwindling budgets and a knee-jerk insistence on outdated, traditional methods. Bonus Features: English Subtitles
