November releases/Christmas sale

This November we are blood soaked, soul infused, and visiting a Blu moon!

First up the bloody, riveting, and ultra-stylish Lone Wolf and Cub box set, containing all six Lone Wolf and Cub films as well as the film that single-handedly created legions of new fans of Japanese action cinema, originally prosecuted as a video nasty, Shogun Assassin. Each film is accompanied by liner notes from Tom Mes.

Next up, a film we’ve been dancing around the office to for a while now, after touring cinemas around the country, Soul Power is released on DVD and Blu-ray. Directed by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, editor of Leon Gast’s Oscar®-winning (Best Documentary) When We Were Kings, and sourced from the same archival pool, Soul Power features a legendary line-up of African and African-diaspora musicians – all of whom are at the very peak of their creative powers.

And last, but by no means least, For All Mankind comes to DVD and Blu-ray in the form of a director-approved special edition. Assembled from hundreds of hours of the astronauts’ own footage, with a soundtrack made up of their memories and a specially composed score by Brian Eno, the film takes the form of one journey to the moon and back again, building with elegant simplicity and exquisite construction to create an overpowering vision of human endeavour and miraculous experience.

We don’t have any releases this December, but keep your eyes peeled for news of our January releases.

Don’t forget to check out our Christmas sale!
