Viva Erotica

Description: Beloved Hong Kong icon Leslie Cheung (Happy Together) stars as Sing, an ambitious out-of-work filmmaker with two flops to his name. When his producer secures funding for his next project from a freshly cleaned-up Triad financier, he is saddled with the sexy Taipei starlet Mango (Shu Qi). Tasked with being more "Wong Jing than Wong Kar-wai" and encouraged by his long-suffering girlfriend (pop diva Karen Mok), Sing gets to work on his first softcore porno.

Featuring a star-making performance from the stunning Shu Qi (Millenium Mambo) as the production's stubborn ingénue, alongside her Sex & Zen II co-star Elvis Tsui, Viva Erotica offers an electrifying behind-the-scenes look at the sleazy world of Category III filmmaking in a declining industry. Inspired by the career of Bosco Lam (A Chinese Torture Chamber Story) and Lo Chi-leung's arduous experiences as an assistant-director-from-hell, the film is replete with tongue-in-cheek references and guest cameos from the likes of Anthony Wong (Ebola Syndrome) and Sean Lau Ching-wan (Running Out Of Time). Viva Erotica is an ode to artistry and perseverance that now stands as one of the defining Hong Kong films of the 1990s.

FROM PARTNER FUN CITY EDITIONS:

Married to the Mob

Description: "Everybody loves Angela…but Angela's married to da mob!" In a star-making performance, Michelle Pfeiffer (Scarface and The Age of Innocence) is suburban mafia housewife Angela de Marco in Jonathan Demme's hit comedy Married to the Mob. When her unfaithful husband Frank "The Cucumber" (Alec Baldwin, Miami Blues and Beetlejuice) is iced by his boss Tony "The Tiger" Russo (Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet and Paris, Texas), Angela flees her cloistered existence on Long Island for the big city, with several interested parties in hot pursuit: Tony, who's smitten with Angela, Tony's insanely jealous wife Connie (Mercedes Ruehl, The Fisher King and The Warriors) and FBI Agent Mike Downey (Matthew Modine, Full Metal Jacket and TV's Stranger Things), who believes Angela is the key to locking Tony up for a very long time.

In between the beloved screwball thriller Something Wild and the Academy Award-winning The Silence of the Lambs, acclaimed auteur Demme helmed this sublime blend of madcap shenanigans, crime and social commentary, the type of genre balancing act he perfected throughout his varied and distinctive career. Inspired equally by the comedies of Preston Sturges and the real-life crimes of John Gotti, the screenplay by Barry Strugatz and Mark R. Burns is one of the great cinematic satires of the American mafia. It's vividly brought to life by Demme, his steady creative collaborators—cinematographer Tak Fujimoto, editor Craig McKay and production designer Kristi Zea, a very game cast and a typically lights out soundtrack, featuring David Byrne, New Order, Q. Lazzarus, Debbie Harry, The Feelies, Tom Tom Club, Brian Eno and more! Married to the Mob has been restored in 2K from its original 35mm interpositive and comes loaded with a bevy of extra features created exclusively for this edition!

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • NEW 2K RESTORATION OF THE FILM FROM AN INTERPOSITIVE
  • "A Simple Appreciation of Life," a newly filmed video interview with star Matthew Modine

FROM PARTNER LABEL DEKANALOG:

KFC

Description: Talk about out-of-left-field. This omnibus of strange and harrowing stories connected by vagabond characters at various levels of moral bankruptcy revolves around the same KFC location. A sick doctor and his twisted cohorts attack random people and ultimately cannibalize them. The doctor's own rotund young son has grown accustomed to the taste of human flesh and gleefully tries to share it with street kids, who have already run afoul of an assortment of evil creeps. 'Bizarre' would be an understatement for this out-of-control orgy of revenge, featuring cryptic dialogue and plastic, almost detached depictions of deliberate torment and the squashy sucking, splattering and dull thudding of abused flesh. Debut filmmaker Lê Bình Giang takes the body-horror genre to new heights, combining an ethereal ennui and anomie with raw, visceral savagery. Not for the faint-hearted.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • Mystery Meat: An Interview with filmmaker Lê Bình Giang
  • Theatrical Trailer (US)
  • Theatrical Trailer (VN)
  • Critical essay by Vietnamese journalist Quang Dang

FROM PARTNER LABEL FACTORY 25:

Ape

Description:Trevor Newandyke is a struggling comedian and a pyromaniac. Not only does his act bomb on stage, but he bombs at everyday life, too. Fed up with threats from the cable company, Slurpee price hikes and all the jerks who think they can push him around, all Trevor wants is a break. But instead of getting himself together or channeling his anger for his act, he turns inward, to the loud din of his headphones and the crackling glow of fire to ease his mind. Chicago Reader summed up the film perfectly: "It's like a Descendents song mixed with late Bunuel mixed with bum fight videos…And it's fucking brilliant."

FROM PARTNER LABEL CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES:

Nobody Waved Goodbye

Description: A startling film that shows what teenagers feel... but never tell!

Teenager Peter Mark (Peter Kastner) has it all: supportive parents (Charmion King, Claude Rae), a loving girlfriend (Julie Biggs), and a comfortable middle-class existence. But on the brink of finishing high school, he feels emboldened by his impending freedom, and decides to pursue a rebellious new path. After his parents make their disapproval known, Peter decides to move out on his own, confident he'll conquer the working world with his insight and sophistication. When the reality turns out to be far less glamorous, he settles for a shady new job – that continues his criminal evolution.

Often ranked among the most important Canadian films of all time, Nobody Waved Good-bye is the feature directorial debut of Don Owen (The Ernie Game), who tapped into his documentary roots to deliver a gritty, low budget answer to Rebel Without a Cause. In addition to three of Owen's early shorts, this disc includes Christopher's Movie Matinee – an inventive documentary that shows where Toronto teen rebellion landed just a few years later – and Lonely Boy, the landmark Paul Anka short that preceded theatrical screenings of Nobody Waved Good-bye.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • NEW 2K RESTORATION FROM THE 16MM INTERPOSITIVE
  • Bonus film: Christopher's Movie Matinee (1968, 88 min.)

FROM PARTNER LABEL SATURN'S CORE AUDIO & VIDEO:

Sixteen Tongues

Description: Adrian Torque is a renegade cop who has lost more than half of his skin in a terrorist explosion. His missing flesh has been replaced with the tongue meat recovered from the sixteen victims that died during the tragedy. Ginny Chin-Chin is a genetically engineered prostitute / assassin chasing down the scientist who implanted her sex organs under the folds of her eyelids. Alik Silens is a wearied computer hacker hunting through the pornographic abyss of cyberspace for the identity of her brother's killer. At a run-down, S&M hotel purgatory where even the strangest desires can be met for a price, the trajectories of this star-crossed trio intersect in a claustrophobic collision of sex, blood, bullets, and personal apocalypse.

The sophomore feature from innovative and visionary New York based video auteur Scooter McCrae (Shatter Dead), Sixteen Tongues is a transgressive, dystopian chamber piece that fuses cyberpunk imagery, psychosexual malaise, and austere surrealist delirium. Featuring Alice Liu (She Hate Me), Tina Krause (Limbo), and special makeup FX by Glenn Hetrick (The Hunger Games) & Paul Sutt (Watchmen, Van Helsing), Sixteen Tongues presents a bleak and futuristic vision unlike any other; a subversive and ambitious body-horror epic guaranteed to challenge even the boldest and most daring cinematic explorers.

Saturday Night at the Baths

Description: Newly restored in 4K, David Buckley's landmark excursion into bisexuality, 70s relationship politics, and the historical importance of gay bathhouse culture is celebrated in his 1975 film Saturday Night at the Baths. When struggling pianist Michael (Robert Aberdeen) lands a job at the legendary Continental Baths in NYC, his wife Tracy (Ellen Sheppard) encourages him, even emphasizes how special this institution is. Michael however struggles with his own homophobia yet at the same time starts developing feelings for his confident and sexually free co-worker Scotti (Don Scotti).

Fuck the Devil + Fuck the Devil 2

Description: Exploding out of the German horror underground, F*CK THE DEVIL (1990) + F*CK THE DEVIL 2: RETURN OF THE F*CKER (1991) are cinematic equivalents of DIY comic books that were made by a teenage stoner while experimenting with bootleg acid. And there's nothing else like them. The films tell the story of The F*cker—a phantasmagorical death machine who materializes from haunted VHS tapes of EVIL DEAD 2 and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET to wreak havoc on unsuspecting parents, teens, and babies. Fueled by subversive violence, experimental techniques, and an unconditional love for the horror genre, these Casiocore-driven miracles teleport us into a dream-like panic state where Rambo posters, 8-bit sound barfs, and Nightmare Feddys rule our subconsciousness. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are overjoyed to welcome The F*cker to home video for the first time ever—complete with new 2022 director's cuts, the original cuts, and a f*ck-ton of extras.
