the killer
the killerrelease: 20th april 2026
available on 4k uhd & Blu-ray
Fresh from the success of the first two A Better Tomorrow films, in 1989 action maestro John Woo would unleash The Killer, a spectacular blend of explosive gunfights and dramatic performances, including the magnetic Chow Yun-Fat in one of his most memorable roles. Ah Chong (Chow Yun-Fat) is a hitman whose latest job takes a wrong turn when, during a shootout at a lavish nightclub, he accidentally blinds singer Jennie by firing his gun too close to her eyes. Racked with remorse, Ah Chong decides to retire from his life of crime and help Jennie get a cornea transplant. But when Ah Chong’s rancorous former boss betrays him, Ah Chong receives an unexpected helping hand from hot-headed police detective Lee Ying (Danny Lee, City on Fire). An international sensation, The Killer put Woo on the radar of genre fans the world over and inspired waves of imitators, but none that could outclass it.

gilda
release: 27th april 2026
available on 4k uhd & blu-ray
“Gilda, are you decent?” Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, “Me?” in one of the great star entrances in movie history. Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casino’s glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms, Gilda is among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs.

New Directors from Japan: Takashi Ono
release: 20th april 2026
available on blu-ray
New Directors From Japan is a series which focuses on new talent coming from Japan’s “jishu-eiga” (ultra-independent) scene of filmmaking, exploring films and talent emerging from the vibrant scene which lives through Japanese “mini-theatres” (independent cinemas) that have given rise to so much that is great in Japanese cinema.
Takashi Ono’s I Am Baseball was released in Tokyo’s Cinema Rosa on August 19th, 2023. Cinema Rosa has been the current mecca for independent Japanese cinema and the birthplace of such successes as One Cut of the Dead and A Samurai in Time. I Am Baseball was a huge hit there, so much so that it continued to play in Japanese cinemas for more than one year, earning its tag of a “rongu-ran” film (Long Run – A film or play that is well-received and continues to be performed for a long period of time).
Despite his very young age and lack of proper budgets, Takashi Ono’s style in I Am Baseball and his earlier student films recreate the late Showa Era (1950s-80s) in a fun and charming way, and are explored in this limited edition set of four films from the director:
-
films featured: I Am Baseball 野球どアホウ未亡人 (2023 – 60 minutes), Pick it up and Throw it Away! 拾って捨てろ！(2019 – 45 minutes), Fashion Runner ファッションランナー (2018 – 9 minutes), Cheating Office Lady: Wet Galaxy 不倫OL 濡れ銀河 (2016 – 40 minutes)
-
Archival & Extras: Takashi Ono interview, short film Cheating Office Lady: Wet Galaxy (2016), short film Fashion Runner (2017), short film Pick it Up and Throw it Away! (2019), I Am Baseball (2023)

Harold Pelham (Roger Moore), a partner in a large electronics firm, finds himself in bewildering circumstances after recovering from a near-fatal car accident. What causes him to renounce his high business principles? Why do friends and colleagues repeatedly sight him in places he has never been? And why does Julie, an attractive girl he has seen only once, claim such an intimate relationship with him? Does Pelham really have a doppelgänger – or is he losing his mind?
