Lisztomania is, as far as I can make out, with Warner Bros., but it has been released in the UK by an outfit called Digital Classics and more recently (last July) by RRaW - Rick Wakeman's own distribution label.

The Digital Classics DVD is wretched, with striations across the x axis, as if it was photographed off a CTV. I'm pretty sure the image is stretched as well. It's best feature is the KR commentary, which is delightful.

Yeah wouldn’t be surprised if it is a UK release of The Major and the Minor

dwk · #1104 Post by **dwk** » Fri Jun 14, 2019 12:58 pm

Yup, the UK Arrow Academy releases for September are The Major and the Minor and Dark City

Indeed I see that on Amazon. DARK CITY is the Charlton Heston led film.

The Major and the Minor is also getting a US and Can release. (the lone Academy title for those markets)

I could have sworn Kino Lorber announced the Wilder

Kim Newman's site mentions that he contributed to an Arrow Blu-ray of Invisible Man Appears/The Invisible Man vs the Human Fly.

A film that is visible to the eye

Or something by Fulci I guess

AfterTheRain · #1111 Post by **AfterTheRain** » Wed Jun 26, 2019 4:38 pm

My guess would be Umberto Lenzi's Eyeball, since it hasn't gotten a home video release yet, if I remember correctly.

soundchaser · #1112 Post by **soundchaser** » Wed Jun 26, 2019 4:40 pm

Eyeball is out in the UK from 88 Films, so it’s probably not that one.

I Origins
Tree of Life
2001
Eyes Without a Face

dwk · #1114 Post by **dwk** » Wed Jun 26, 2019 5:15 pm

They are doing Who Saw Her Die. So it may be that.

rapta · #1115 Post by **rapta** » Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:14 pm

It might be as literal as the Pang Brothers' The Eye, especially considering they've been snapping up ex-Tartan title left, right and centre (e.g. The Ring Collection, Oldboy, upcoming Jodorowsky set).

It won't be any of those three.

- The Tree of Life was already licensed by Fox to Sony/Criterion UK just last year
- 2001: A Space Odyssey is a Warner Bros property and therefore would be very difficult to license, not to mention it recently got released via HMV's exclusive 'Premium Collection' (and I bet you WB would say no to sub-licensing any Kubrick to anyone with the exception of Criterion)
- Eyes Without a Face was released by BFI just a few years ago, in a very solid edition I might add (also R.I.P. Edith Scob, what a legacy)

interesting, and I hope so.

And, given the recent Don’t Look Now restoration, this would be timely. As people often compare Who Saw Her Die to DLN.

oooh, isn't that the Aldo Lado film with the repeated haunting Morricone cue with children singing?

dwk · #1118 Post by **dwk** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 1:43 am

It is. It has been ages since I watched it, but I remember really liking it, largely because of Morricone's score.

#1119 Post by **Finch** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 1:59 am

I remember liking the film itself a lot, but it's the Morricone score that has stuck me with me ever since that first watch.

I'm happy to see you took me seriously

. But it does look similar to I Origins

US/Can are getting Who Saw Her Die in September

What A Disgrace · Fri Jun 28, 2019 5:24 pm

The U.S. release is the only one that looks promising. I have all those Bavas and theyre just rereleases of old discs, some of which need a tune up.

M Sanderson · #1124 Post by **M Sanderson** » Sat Jun 29, 2019 8:12 am

Who Saw Her Die is terrific. Glad that Arrow will occasionally pick up Shameless titles for US territory with superior restoration work. As was the case with their excellent release of Torso. Gives me hope, perhaps, for such other great Italian horror titles as Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh.

Also, one hopes that Lado's Night Train Murders, a complex, upsetting and gruelling take on the justified homicide revenge narrative, will receive a definitive release (maybe a reissue by Blue Underground of their average original release - or by whomever has/can get, the rights).
