Imprint Films June 2024: Martin Scorsese Films of Faith and More
You can pre-order all these films at the Imprint Films site.
Dive into three critically acclaimed epics from the world’s greatest living director MARTIN SCORSESE: FILMS OF FAITH – a Limited Edition 4-disc Hardbox packed with brand NEW special features plus an exclusive hardcover booklet. Willem Dafoe stars in the controversial picture THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST (1988), a visually breathtaking re-imagining of faith and sacrifice, guilt and redemption, sin and atonement. KUNDUN (1997) delves into the incredible true story of one of the world’s most fascinating leaders – Tibet’s Dalai Lama – and his daring struggle to rule a nation at one of the most challenging times in its history. With superb direction from Martin Scorsese, jaw-dropping cinematography by Roger Deakins, and a mesmerizing original score by Phillip Glass, this surreal, long-buried, critically praised epic is ripe for rediscovery in this 2-Disc special presentation. The Academy Award-nominated religious epic SILENCE (2016) completes the set, starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as two 17th-century missionaries undertaking a perilous journey to search for their missing mentor. All three films are accompanied by brand NEW and archival special features. This is one not to miss.
The long-awaited third collection of AFTER DARK: NEO-NOIR CINEMA is on its way, with six dark modern noirs lurking in the shadows: David Mamet’s HOMICIDE (1991), on Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, the star-studded WHITE SANDS (1992) – with remarkable performances by Willem Dafoe, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Samuel L. Jackson and Mickey Rourke – directed by Roger Donaldson (The Bounty) who has contributed to a brand NEW Audio Commentary for this release. Oscar-winner Sean Penn (newly interviewed for this release) produced, wrote and directed the neo-noir classic THE CROSSING GUARD (1995) starring Jack Nicholson alongside female juggernauts Robin Wright, Anjelica Houston, and Piper Laurie. HEAVEN’S PRISONERS (1996) also comes to Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, starring Alec Baldwin as a once-tough New Orleans cop, unwillingly thrust back into a world of murder and deception. UNDER SUSPICION (2000) stars Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Monica Bellucci, and finally DIRTY PRETTY THINGS (2002) was nominated for two Academy Awards, starring the great Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou. This 6-Disc Limited Edition Hardbox includes an exclusive 80-page booklet packed with essays.
Now onto our final four new releases: critically acclaimed erotic drama SECRETARY (2002) starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader; gritty crime drama FRESH (1994), widely regarded as one of the best films of 1994, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Giancarlo Esposito, N’Bushe Wright, and Sean Nelson in an acclaimed, award-winning performance; the shocking and disturbing indie drama THE UNITED STATES OF LELAND (2003) with remarkable performances from an all-star cast including Ryan Gosling & Don Cheadle; and finally RAMBLING ROSE (1991) makes its worldwide debut on Blu-ray, an Academy Award-nominated period drama from the director of Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge, starring Laura Dern, Dianne Ladd, and Robert Duvall.
