This week on the latest and greatest in physical media, Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk about a wealth of new titles in 4K. But also a film noir package dedicated to Edward G. Robinson, a restored version of the 1970s French giallo picture and a horror film about a necrophiliac doctor. That is mixed in with new upgrades for Stanley Kubrick’s first feature, a classic western with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and Steven Soderbergh’s all too-prescient thriller about a pandemic. Peter discusses a 1980s teen comedy he believes deserves some reappraisal. There is also the pairing of James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart as well as one of the great early films from Walter Hill.

Peter Sobczynski guides you through the latest in physical media. They include a couple music-based films from Criterion. Getting close to October the horror is ramping up with upgrades for Argento, Halloween and even an MST3K favorite.

What do you do with a drunken Gable? What qualifies as a submarine movie? Were you born on the 7th? We review Run Silent, Run Deep.

The next movie is The Last of the Mohicans (1993).

Paul and Erin review two films about men from the big city who get trapped in small towns... but eventually learn to like it: the 1991 Michael J. Fox fish-out-of-water comedy DOC HOLLYWOOD, and Bill Forsyth's beloved 1983 comedy-drama LOCAL HERO. Plus: our quick takes on the latest SIGHT & SOUND poll, THE MENU, THE FABELMANS, SHE SAID, GLASS ONION, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, and highlights from GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES.

Puisqu’il faut bien conclure cette intégrale de Sam Peckinpah, voici son dernier film : Osterman week-end. 

Entouré d’une pléiade de stars, Rutger Hauer, Burt Lancaster, Dennis Hopper, John Hurt, le cinéaste adapte ici un roman de Robert Ludlum. Le film suit la fibre des thrillers psychologiques des années 70. 

Ce huis clos nerveux fait la part belle aux peurs de la Guerre Froide, avec espionnage, manipulation, surveillance et trahison. Le charme de Rudger Hauer opère dans le rôle de ce chevalier blanc piégé malgré lui dans une machination qui le dépasse. 

On parle de ça dans Volte-Face mais aussi de films sortis en 1983 : Les Prédateurs de Tony Scott et Le Sens de la Vie des Monty Python.

Peut-on survivre à 12 ans face à la violence du monde ? Oui, grâce à l’amour nous répond Morse … 

Le film de Tomas Alfredson nous entraine dans une histoire d’amours d’enfants complices. Oskar, petit blond, fragile et souffre-douleur de ses camarades à l’école, va devenir l’ami, l’amant et le protecteur d’Eli, jolie brune, rebelle et vampire qui ne se nourrit uniquement de sang humain. 

Alors que la neige recouvre ce petit coin de Suède, étouffant le bruit des pas et des cris des victimes d’Eli, le calme n’est qu’en surface. A l’école où les camarades d’Oskar poussent toujours plus loin leurs sévices, ou dans les rues dans lesquelles Eli chasse ses prochaines victimes, le sang coule et l’étrange s’installe. 

Oskar et Eli sont deux marginaux que l’amour va rapprocher. Ils vont s’unir face à une société violente et des parents absents. Ces deux enfants ne vont plus pouvoir compter que sur eux-mêmes pour supporter leur condition et survivre. Toujours plus violents et isolés. 

On parle de ça dans Volte-Face mais aussi de Gus Van Sant et de Burt Lancaster ...
