Independent British distributors Network have confirmed that they will add three more titles to their Blu-ray catalog: Nicolas Roeg's

The Medusa Touch (1978), and John Dahl's

Insignificance
A unique film from multi-award-winning director Nicolas Roeg, Insignificance has garnered increasing attention and acclaim in the decades since its initial release. It is featured here in a High Definition transfer made from original film elements, in its theatrically-exhibited aspect ratio.
On a hot night in 1954, a professor, an actress, a senator and a ballplayer converge in a New York hotel: avatars of four iconic figures from mid-fifties America. Not merely a statement on relativity, politics and the nature of fame, Insignificance is also a performance and script tour de force, with a fluid progression of flashbacks and flash-forwards focusing on the fictional Einstein's current observations, childhood memories and apprehensions for the future.

John Morlar, a well-known novelist, is savagely attacked in his London flat. Barely alive, he is taken to hospital, and Brunel, a French detective currently based in the capital, is assigned to the case. His investigations lead him to Morlar's psychiatrist, who discloses that her patient is obsessed: Morlar feels he bears an awesome telekinetic power – the capacity to "will" destruction and death by making airplanes crash and buildings crumble, start raging fires and unleash mighty floods. Preposterous though it seems, Morlar's power is sickeningly real – he is able to wreak havoc at will and seemingly can't be stopped…
