Gracias por abrirlo, BodySnatcher. Es, de largo, la mejor editora a nivel mundial en estos momentos; tanto por la selección de títulos, como por el extremo mimo que dedican a cada una de sus ediciones, con toques únicos (véase el obi-strip para un Blu-ray, elemento comúnmente usado en el mundo del disco de vinilo). Me recuerda a Criterion en sus inicios, incluso en los del DVD, donde de verdad se aventuraban a abrir camino cinéfilo… Hoy solo se dedican a asentar su marca con escaso riesgo selectivo y mucha reedición de su catálogo más manido en ultra alta definición.

Solo reseñar que, como sucede con cada nueva tanda de pre-orders mensuales, si se echan todos al carro, se aplica automáticamente un 10% de descuento. Y con estos cuatro no cabe ninguna duda al respecto.

Yo compré "La madre muerta" de Bajo Ulloa y "Trenque Lauquen" película argentina de cuatro horas de Laura Citarella. Ambas ediciones excelentes tanto por imagen, diseño del producto y extras.
La lástima es que si no llevan subtítulos en castellano (que no suelen llevar, claro) o la peli es en castellano, no las puedo comprar.

Coincido en que Radiance es un sello muy bueno.

Atención al pack anunciado para el mes de Diciembre

Nothing is Sacred

From 1946 to 1965, Luis Buñuel directed 21 films in Mexico, the country that became his naturalised home. Towards the end of this period, the great master of surrealism would meet two of his most important collaborators - the husband-and-wife duo of producer Gustavo Alatriste and actress Silvia Pinal - and together they would create three of his most provocative and enduring works: Viridiana (1961), The Exterminating Angel (1962) and Simon of the Desert (1965). Presented here in new restorations, all three films are frequently hailed as some of the greatest of all time. All of what makes Buñuel one of the greatest of directors can be found within them: the startling imagery, the uncompromising surrealism, the wicked humour, the unapologetic eroticism, and the overwhelming disdain for contemporary boundaries of good taste.

In Viridiana, Pinal stars as a former nun who, believing she has been defiled by a relative, abandons nunhood and attempts to repent and lead a morally pure existence by turning a mansion into a shelter for vagrants. Hugely controversial on release, this brilliant satire remains shocking today, and was voted the best Spanish film of all time by Spanish critics in 2016.

The Exterminating Angel is one of Buñuel's most extraordinary and enduring works: after a night at the opera, a group of bourgeois party guests realise that they are inexplicably unable to leave the dining room they are sequestered in, and quickly descend into savagery. An influential blend of horror, comedy, drama and social commentary, the film was named one of the 200 greatest of all time in the 2022 Sight and Sound Critics Poll.

Simon of the Desert is a typically outrageous and provocative commentary on organised religion: a parable of Simon, the would-be saint who lives an ascetic life at the top of a ten foot pillar, the film features a memorable turn from Pinal as the Devil, and an unforgettably bizarre ending.

Y aquí los otros 2 lanzamientos previstos para Diciembre



https://www.radiancefilms.co.uk/prod...rom-majorca-le

The Man from Majorca

Following a slick post office robbery two police officers see their investigation turn into one of high-level corruption and institutional intrigue. Bo Widerberg follows his earlier investigative thriller The Man on the Roof with a focus on realism and procedural detail. Adapted from a novel by Leif Persson and starring Sven Wollter (The 13th Warrior), Widerberg’s film channels the style of his earlier crime masterpiece but presents a new world. Gritty and often intense, The Man from Majorca is another classic of Nordic noir.

https://www.radiancefilms.co.uk/prod...ma-bj-blues-le

Yokohama BJ Blues

When his police detective best friend is killed, down-at-heel private eye and part-time blues singer BJ (Yusaku Matsuda, The Game Trilogy) gets the blame. He must start his own investigation to clear his name, but what he uncovers is a tangled web involving crooked cops, drug-dealing gangsters, the city’s underground gay and biker scenes, and even his own past. A loose remake of Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye that also draws from Visconti’s Death in Venice, this was Matsuda’s break with his action hero image. Samurai movie veteran Eiichi Kudo (The Fort of Death) relishes his chance at directing a neo-noir that captures urban Japan at the height of 1980s decadence.

Francamente, no tienen rival.

Ojo con la nueva restauración 4K de El ángel exterminador porque la única que hay que es la de Criterion luce poco mejor que el DVD

¿El hombre de Mallorca? ¿por qué se llama así? Ni está rodada en Mallorca, ni tiene nada relacionado con Mallorca... ¿????

La restauración de Radiance puede ser mejor que la de Criterion? No sale en ningún país en 4K?

Qué pinta tiene la edición de Buñuel. Los que ya habéis comprado algo a Radiance, ¿sabéis si suelen hacer Black Friday o rebajas de vez en cuando? No se si tener paciencia o pasar por caja ya.

Rebajas han tenido hasta la semana pasada, por un cambio de almacén. Pero siempre de títulos antiguos de catálogo, nunca los más recientes (para estos tendrías que esperar más de un año, probablemente, y puede que para entonces lo que te interese esté agotado).

En resumen: mi consejo es que les pidas directamente a ellos lo que te interese. Te saldrá igual (o más barato) que en amazon, tampoco tendrás que pagar gastos de aduanas y probablemente también obtengas unos mejores gastos de envío, tras la última subida que aplicó este. Aparte, que ya algunos de sus próximos lanzamientos no se pueden comprar allí, como sucede con otros títulos en UK.

Espero haberte servido de ayuda.

Pues creo que voy a proceder y pedirles a ellos directamente. Muchas gracias!


Un saludo
