As in his masterpiece, Battleship Potemkin, Eisenstein used explosive montage to create the spirit of revolution - in this case, the events in St. Petersburg during the months leading up to the Bolshevik revolt. Eisenstein's insistence on speaking the language of pure film (deploying space, shadow, movement, and rhythm to create his meaning) shoves his mad rush of images straight into the viewer's eye. A worker's rebellion in the streets, followed by the raising of bridges to isolate their neighborhood, becomes a visual symphony of panic. The film has also been known as Ten Days That Shook the World, its release title in the U.S. (borrowed from the book by John Reed). Its value as propaganda can be debated, but October is incredibly dynamic as film art.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlexander Nevsky:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSergei Eisenstein's landmark tale of Russia thwarting the German invasion of the 13th century was wildly popular and quite intentional, given the prevailing Nazi geopolitical advancement and destruction at the time. It can still be viewed as a masterful use of imagery and music, with the Battle on the Ice sequence as the obvious highlight.

Shot over the course of two years in 16 mm black and white, Mysterious Object at Noon established the director’s fascination with the porous boundaries between the real and the imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevenge\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA child is raised in Korea to avenge the death of his father’s first child in this decades-spanning tale of obsession and violence, the third collaboration between director Ermek Shinarbaev and writer Anatoli Kim. A study of everyday evil infused with philosophy and poetry, this haunting allegory was the first Soviet film to look at the Korean diaspora in central Asia, and a founding work of the Kazakh New Wave. Rigorous and complex, Revenge weaves luminous imagery with inventive narrative elements in an unforgettable meditation on the way trauma is passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimite\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn astonishing creation, Limite is the only feature by the Brazilian director and author Mário Peixoto, made when he was just twenty-two years old. Inspired by a haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this avant-garde silent master­piece centers on a man and two women lost at sea, their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by the music of Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others. An early work of independent Latin American filmmaking, Limite was famously difficult to see for most of the twentieth century. It is a pioneering achievement that continues to captivate with its timeless visual poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaw of the Border\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet along the Turkish-Syrian frontier, this terse, elemental tale of smugglers contending with a changing social landscape brought together two giants of Turkish cinema. Director Lütfi Ö. Akad had already made some of his country’s most notable films when he was approached by Yılmaz Güney—a rising action star who would become Turkey’s most important and controversial filmmaker—to collaborate on this neo-western about a quiet man who finds himself pitted against his fellow outlaws. Combining documentary authenticity with a tough, lean poetry, Law of the Border transformed the nation’s cinema forever—even though it was virtually impossible to see for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaipei Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdward Yang’s second feature is a mournful anatomy of a city caught between the past and the present.

As the couple’s dreams of marriage and emigration begin to unravel, Yang’s gaze illuminates the precariousness of domestic life and the desperation of Taiwan’s globalized modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2K, 3K, or 4K digital restorations of all six films, presented courtesy of the World Cinema Project in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, with uncompressed monaural or 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks on the Blu-rays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered digital soundtrack for Limite, created from archival recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew introductions to the films by World Cinema Project founder Martin Scorsese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview programs featuring film historian Pierre Rissient (on Insiang), director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (on Mysterious Object at Noon), director Ermek Shinarbaev (on Revenge), filmmaker Walter Salles (on Limite), film producer Mevlüt Akkaya (on Law of the Border), and filmmakers Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edmond Wong in conversation (on Taipei Story, which Hou cowrote and acted in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated English subtitle translations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Blu-rays and six DVDs, with all content available in both formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: A booklet featuring an introduction and essays on the films by Phillip Lopate, Dennis Lim, Kent Jones, Fábio Andrade, Bilge Ebiri, and Andrew Chan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41280976355528,"sku":"CC2759BDDVD","price":159.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/cgKxO604g3phzPqpONSN5STBrfnV6y_large_825f3f18-c01a-42a6-9f08-e6d35ad4dd2a.jpg?v=1655243859"},{"product_id":"aba-blu-solari002-71551","title":"Solaris (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGround control has been receiving mysterious transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station.

As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in what is now known as Belarus, teenage Flyora (Alexei Kravchenko, in a searing depiction of anguish) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty—rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camera work and expressionistic sound design.

(The Wild Hunt is a fixture of northern European folklore in which a sinister figure leads a chase followed by ghostly companions.) Part folk horror, part supernatural mystery, KING STAKH is a melancholy, chilling mixture of Terry Gilliam, Italian Gothic Horror, 1960s Hammer Films and THE WICKER MAN - and a major rediscovery for genre fans. The longer the young scholar stays in this mysterious house of \"shadow, gloom, madness and death,\" the more strange and surreal the imagery becomes: a mad widow in a white wig; a man bleeding spontaneously from his skull; a dwarf hiding in a decayed doll's house; screeching ravens and maniacal puppet shows. Based on the novel by Belarusian writer Uladzimir Karatkievich, the long-unavailable KING STAKH has recently been restored from the original film elements in its extended 126 min.

He’s quickly drawn into the investigation of the suicide (or possibly murder?) of a local restaurant chef, Nikolaev – who may (or may not) be Varakin’s missing father. The more complex and absurdist the mystery becomes, the more poignant and plaintive Varakin’s predicament – “I have to get back to Moscow,” he pleads to no avail. Along the way we’re treated to a bizarre and wonderful sideshow of non sequiturs out of a Wes Anderson film, including an underground museum filled with a thousand years of real and imagined Russian history (“Here’s the pistol with which Urusov shot the False Dimitry II.”) Frozen in time, frozen far beneath the surface, the waxwork figures are strangely beautiful and forlorn, like Shakhnazarov’s marvelous and enigmatic satire of Soviet bureaucracy.

Two average Muscovites – a plainspoken construction foreman (Stanislav Lyubshin) and a Georgian student carrying a violin case (Leo Gabriadze) – encounter an odd homeless man on the street who asks, “Tell me the number of your planet in the Tentura?” In a flash, they’re teleported across the universe to the planet Pluke in the Kin-Dza-Dza galaxy – a Tatooine-like desert world whose inhabitants are hilariously noncommunicative (their main words are “ku” for good and “kyu” for very bad) and where common wooden matches are tremendously valuable. A deadpan, absurdist mixture of Kurt Vonnegut, Monty Python, Samuel Beckett and Jodorowsky’s never-made Dune where alien cultures are even more haphazard and WTF? than our own, the film is also a savage satire of bureaucratic idiocy and dysfunction no matter what political system you’re living under – or what planet you’re living on.

The final film from Russian fantasy master Aleksandr Ptushko (ILYA MUROMETS, SAMPO), RUSLAN AND LUDMILA was a glorious and magical summation of his career: a 2-1\/2 hour greatest hits package filled with the sweeping lyricism, bejeweled visual F\/X and mythic storytelling that put him on par with Walt Disney, Ray Harryhausen and Mario Bava. Based on an epic fairy tale written in 1820 by Alexander Pushkin (Ptushko had previously adapted Pushkin’s THE TALE OF TSAR SALTAN, and half-jokingly said they were related), the film opens with the seemingly-joyous marriage of bogatyr (warrior) Ruslan (Valeri Kozinets) to Ludmila (Natalya Petrova), the daughter of Prince Vladimir. (Like his earlier ILYA MUROMETS, the action of the film is set during the legendary era of the Kyivan Rus’ culture that pre-dated both modern Ukraine and Russia.) On their wedding night, Ludmila is spirited away by the riotously long-bearded wizard Chernomor (Vladimir Fyodorov), and taken to his sinister palace where she’s held prisoner. On their epic quest to rescue her, Ruslan and his three rivals encounter some of Ptushko’s most unforgettable imagery: a giant’s monstrous, decapitated head slumbering on an open plain, magic rings and stone warriors, sorcery and sacrifice, all in the hope of reuniting lost lovers.

Driven from the Russian court by her sisters’ scheming, the young Tsarina (Larisa Golubkina) is thrown into the sea in a cask with her infant son. Surviving the storm-tossed voyage, the mother and her now magically-adult son (Oleg Vidov) land on a remote island where he falls in love with a Swan Princess in human form (Kseniya Ryabinkina), and longs for reunion with his estranged father, Tsar Saltan (Vladimir Andreyev). Like his earlier masterpieces SAMPO and ILYA MUROMETS (also released by Deaf Crocodile), TSAR SALTAN is filled with breathtaking imagery: carved wooden lions who shed tears; peasants in pagan ritual masks, dancing in the snow; the treacherous faces of conspirators bathed in red candle glow like the witches in Macbeth. Ptushko’s second-to-last feature, TSAR SALTAN has been gorgeously restored by Mosfilm and Deaf Crocodile for its first-ever Blu-ray release in the U.S., co-presented with Seagull Films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Aleksandr Ptushko\u003cbr\u003estarring: Vladimir Andreyev, Larisa Golubkina, Oleg Vidov, Kseniya Ryabinkina,\u003cbr\u003e1967 \/ 85 min \/ 2.20:1 \/ Russian DTS-HD MA 5.1 (with English Subtitles)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBonus Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew hour-long video interview with legendary visual effects artist and film historian Robert Skotak (Academy Award-winner, Best Visual Effects for ALIENS and TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY) on Aleksandr Ptushko and the history of Soviet fantastika filmmaking, moderated by Dennis Bartok of Deaf Crocodile Films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew commentary track by comics artist (Swamp Thing), film historian, and author Stephen R.

Dir. Aleksandr Ptushko. Based on the Finnish national epic “Kalevala,” Ptushko’s ravishing, mystical fantasy tells the story of a sinister witch Louhi (Anna Orochko) who covets the Sampo, a magical, rainbow-colored mill that can produce endless salt, grain and gold. When the hero Lemminkäinen (Andris Oshin) attempts to stop her, Louhi literally steals the sun, plunging the world into eternal darkness. Shot like its predecessor ILYA MUROMETS in gorgeous CinemaScope, SAMPO features some of Ptushko’s most surreal and fantastical imagery: a glowing red horse plowing a field of vipers; a boat of fire with a stag’s head; a weeping mother literally walking across the sea to find her lost son. With its witch’s incantations and repeated scenes of forging magical items – “Give me fire for the furnace from the nave of the sky!” – there is an almost “Macbeth”-like occult\/supernatural force to the film as well, underscored by the raging blue-gray seas and rock-strewn landscapes. Released in the U.S. in a dubbed, butchered version as THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE (and later mocked on MST3K), SAMPO has been beautifully restored in 4K by KAVI – the Finnish National Audiovisual Institute for its first-ever release in its original Finnish-language version by Deaf Crocodile.(In Finnish with English subtitles.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Aleksandr Ptushko\u003cbr\u003estarring: Urho Somersalmi, Anna Orochko, Ivan Voronov, Andris Osins, Ada Voytsik\u003cbr\u003e1959 \/ 90 min \/ 2.35:1 \/ Finnish 5.1 DTS-HD MA (with English Subtitles)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBonus Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary track by Steve Bissette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRussian Fantastika Essay - Part Two by Alan Upchurch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew artwork by Tony Stella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deaf Crocodile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44689071997128,"sku":"DC-005CD","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/sampobd.jpg?v=1660689834"},{"product_id":"ilya-muromets-aka-the-sword-the-dragon-blu-ray-1","title":"Ilya Muromets: aka The Sword \u0026 The Dragon (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1A8FbJWlQ8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eILYA MUROMETS (THE SWORD \u0026amp; THE DRAGON), \u003c\/strong\u003e1956, Mosfilm, 87 min.Legendary fantasy filmmaker\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAleksandr Ptushko’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003esweeping, visual F\/X-filled epic is one of his most enchanting achievements:a stunning Cinemascope ballad of heroic medieval knights, ruthless Tugar invaders, wind demons and three-headed fire-breathing dragons.Based on one of the most famous\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ebyliny\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e(oral epics) in Kievan Rus’ culture, the film stars Boris Andreyev as the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ebogatyr\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e(warrior) Ilya, waging a decades-long battle against the Tugars who threaten his homeland, kidnap his wife and raise his own son to fight against him.Director Ptushko began his career in the 1930s and went on to become a combination of Walt Disney, Ray Harryhausen and Mario Bava for his dazzling, bejeweled fantasies including THE STONE FLOWER, SADKO, SAMPO and RUSLAN \u0026amp; LUDMILA.The first Cinemascope film produced in the Soviet Union, ILYA MUROMETS was released in a truncated, dubbed version in the U.S. as THE SWORD \u0026amp; THE DRAGON, downplaying the epic poetry and lyricism of the original.The film has been restored in 4K for its first-ever official U.S. release in its original form by Deaf Crocodile, in association with Seagull Films\u003ci\u003e.

Quick as you can say “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” Pinčiukas promises him the hand of his beautiful blonde love Marcelė (Vaiva Mainelytė) in exchange for their as-yet unborn daughter Jurga (also played by Mainelytė as an adult), and wicked complications ensue over the years.  Based on the book Whitehorn's Windmill by Kazys Boruta with music by Viačeslavas Ganelinas and utterly stunning, crystal-pure cinematography by Algimantas Mockus, the film is interlaced with Lithuanian folklore and surreal images:  legions of female devils riding bareback on horses; a black carriage drawn by a team of devils disappearing into the waters of a lake; rituals of mistletoe roots and rowan berries and straw men.  In a wild twist, the devil Pinčiukas winds up being one of the most sympathetic characters, doomed to live on earth while he longs to return to Heaven.  A beloved cult hit in Lithuania and a major rediscovery for fans of film musicals, THE DEVIL’S BRIDE has been beautifully restored by the Lithuanian Film Centre for its first-ever U.S. release by Deaf Crocodile.  In Lithuanian with English subtitles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew video interview with Monika Edgar, director Arūnas Žebriūnas’ daughter, about her father’s career and the making of THE DEVIL’S BRIDE.  (In English)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew video interview with Lithuanian film critic Ieva Šukytė about the history of Lithuanian cinema and THE DEVIL’S BRIDE.  (In English)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew visual essay by Dr. Will Dodson and Ryan Verrill of Someone's Favorite Productions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew commentary by Michael Brooke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew artwork by Beth Morris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity In Motion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deaf Crocodile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44689081893064,"sku":"DC-041CD","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/devilsbridebd.jpg?v=1750904737"},{"product_id":"assassin-of-the-tsar-blu-ray-1","title":"Assassin of the Tsar (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R7OzXmqsP3c\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Karen Shakhnazarov, director of ZEROGRAD, ASSASSIN OF THE TSAR is a mysterious and labyrinthine psychological drama in which the tormented chambers of a patient's mind come to warp everything around him, even the folds of history itself.

The thoughtful new head of the hospital, Dr. Smirnov (Oleg Yankovskiy) is determined to cure Timofeyev of his madness – but instead finds himself literally pulled back through time, inhabiting the ghosts of the past as they march towards their tragic destiny.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBonus Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBRAND NEW RESTORATION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom original 35mm elements by Mosfilm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew commentary track by film writer and historian Samm Deighan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew essay by film critic and historian Walter Chaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with star Malcolm McDowell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with director Karen Shakhnazarov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRussian language version of film with different edit and score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlu-ray mastering and authoring by David Mackenzie\/Fidelity in Motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eREGION-A \"LOCKED\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deaf Crocodile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698975371464,"sku":"DC-009CD","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/assassinofthetsarbd.jpg?v=1679174494"},{"product_id":"treasures-of-soviet-animation-vol-1-the-mystery-of-the-third-planet-the-pass-the-return-blu-ray","title":"Treasures Of Soviet Animation Vol. 1: The Mystery Of The Third Planet + The Pass \u0026 The Return (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x7MoRSrcwb8?si=Ocd2yaPdSRv1T-Ij\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE MYSTERY OF THE THIRD PLANET\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(TAYNA TRETEY PLANETY), 1981, Soyuzmultfilm, 48 min.
