Re-releases

Branded to Kill - Koroshi no rakuin (1967) Directed by Seijun Suzuki Distributed by Yume.
Should be a far better transfer than the previous Second Sight release. Look's as though Yume have taken over distribution of the whole of Suzuki's oeuvre.

New releases

Chronos (1985) Directed by Ron Fricke Distributed by Second Sight
The directorial debut from the creator of "Baraka".

Dersu Uzala (1975) Directed by Akira Kurosawa Distributed by Artificial Eye
Understated classic that finally gets a deserved dvd release.

The Great Ecstasy Of Robert Carmichael (2005) Directed by Thomas Clay Distributed by Tartan Video.

Pier Paolo Pasolini Vol.1:
Accatone
Ro.Go.Pa.G
Love Meetings Distributed by Tartan Video.

Red Road (2006) Directed by Andrea Arnold Distributed by Drakes Avenue.
Well regarded indie pic, still doing the art-house circuit.

Requiem (2006) Directed by Hans-Christian Schmid - Distributed by Soda Pictures.
Highly regarded on site and will be my first theatrical screening of 2007.

Tout Va Bien - All Is Well (1972) Directed by Jean-Luc Godard/Jean-Pierre Gorin Distributed by Arrow Films.

I felt with the number of releases this month it would be easier to break it down week by week, I want to provide an improved listing including small comments and links where appropriate, it also gives me the opportunity to mention re-releases.

Cheers Trev.
