The Ritual (Ghatashraddha)
A film by Girish Kasaravalli
India, 1977

Blu-ray Limited Edition

“It’s arguably the greatest debut in Indian cinema after [Satyajit] Ray’s masterpiece, Pather Panchali” Wonders in the Dark

Kasaravalli’s spare, haunting drama reveals how rigid codes of caste and ritual purity lead to devastating consequences. Weaving together uncompromising political and social critique with a deeply affecting coming-of-age tale, the film is recognised as a key work of Indian Parallel Cinema.

Presented from the new 4K restoration by Film Heritage Foundation, Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project and George Lucas' Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation, the region-free Blu-ray also includes an exclusive, new filmed interview with the directror, booklet and more!

Extreme Private Eros:
Love Song 1974
A film by Kazuo Hara
Japan, 1974

Blu-ray Limited Edition

“This insanely intimate document never flinches... an emotionally scalding yet absorbing cinematic open wound”
Shock Cinema

From the director of The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, this Kazuo Hara's intensely personal film is a radical and challenging examination of the interplay between the film’s subject and the director.

Voyeuristic and uncompromising, Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 explodes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking.

This region-free Blu-ray edition presents the film from a director-approved HD transfer, and an interview with Hara, a filmed appreciation by Chris Fujiwara, and a booklet with writing by the late, great Tony Rayns.

The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz (Ensayo de un crimen)
A film by Luis Buñuel
Mexico, 1955

Blu-ray Limited Edition

“The central work of Buñuel's career, a midpoint between the early savagery and the later urbanity” CinePassion

Buñuel’s darkly comic psychodrama is a key work of his Mexican period, an ambiguous tale of bourgeois hysteria, transgression and erotic obsession. Full of pitch-black humour and surrealist flourishes this is a neglected gem from one of cinema’s greatest artists.

This region-free Blu-ray edition presents the film from Cineteca Nacional México's 4K restoration, video essays by Cristina Álvarez López and David Wilt, a gallery of Buñuel’s personal annotated script, and a booklet with writing by Jordi Xifra and Cristina Álvarez López.

Release Date: June 2026
