The White Countess
The White Countess comes to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide this April, a drama of exile, longing and love's triumph over adversity set in 1930s China.
The final collaboration between legendary producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory,
written by the prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, stars Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave, Hiroyuki Sanada, Lynn Redgrave, Allan Corduner, and Madeleine Potter.
The White Countess takes place in the glamorous, corrupt, boomtown atmosphere of '30s Shanghai, soon to be swept away by advancing Japanese armies and civil war. At its centre are the blind American diplomat Todd Jackson (Ralph Fiennes) and Sofia Belinskaya (Natasha Richardson), a refugee Russian aristocrat who makes a living in a taxi dancehall and as an occasional prostitute. Aided by his mysterious Japanese friend, a spy named Matsuda (Hiroyuki Sanada), Jackson opens a successful nightclub and installs the countess Sofia as its main attraction.
In a spectacular mass exodus from the city, Sofia is abandoned by her in-laws, who secretly try to flee with Sofia's small daughter, Katya. Will mother and daughter be reunited, and will Sofia and Jackson's love survive such turbulent events?

Nouvelle Vague
Directed by the great Richard Linklater, the brand new comedy-drama Nouvelle Vague follows the filming of Jean-Luc Godards' French New Wave classic Breathless.
After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Jean-Luc Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard (Bruno Dreyfürst) to fund a low-budget feature and, with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut (Adrien Rouyard), creates a treatment about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless is one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.
The film is a love letter to the revolutionary magic of the French New Wave and a homage to Godard's influential 1960 film, capturing its youthful dynamism and creative chaos.
