Emily Wilson's piece on Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY for the LRB went viral and was received very positively by many — but not by virtually every film critic I know. For @animusmagazine.bsky.social I wrote about why: animus-magazine.ghost.io/a-tale-as-ol...

A Tale as Old as Time

Emily Wilson’s piece on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey evinces an archaic perspective on cinema’s value as art

That is 100% on Tuchel. Genuinely worse tactical game management than anything Southgate ever did

Michael Almereyda's moody, deadpan reimagining of Dracula's Daughter, NADJA, will have its new 4K restoration UK premiere at this year's @cineredis.bsky.social ahead of a Transmission physical media release.

I quietly usher my six year old son into the living room, and close the door gently behind him. Solemnly, and with no small amount of gravitas, I ask him to sit down and to listen very carefully, before hitting play on ‘World in Motion’

[TX] UK: An English couple’s idyllic getaway is disrupted when they find themselves on a deserted Spanish island, facing the unthinkable question of WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? A UHD World-premiere, our edition includes alternate dubs/cuts plus new visual essay by horror expert Álex Mendibil.

💿October Announcements💿 This coming Halloween, expect a shocking visit from Takashi Miike, a satirical giallo, erotic despair, a UHD upgrade of a Mario Bava sci-fi horror and a box set exploring the world of the Fantastique. Plus, an unthinkable question courtesy of TX!

RIP Tony Rayns, one of the few English-language critics who genuinely knew what they were talking about (most of the time) when it came to East Asian cinema, especially Hong Kong's.

Woke up to the horrible news that Tony Rayns has passed away. Tony is genuinely irreplaceable. A true gentleman who lived the most remarkable life. I feel so privileged to have worked with him. I hope he is somewhere smoking cigs with Ed Yang right now.

Never mind The Odyssey. You Odyssey your GP more, you’re not getting any younger

Delighted that our friends at @ThePCCLondon will be screening our two recent July TX titles. The 4K restoration of Vampire's Kiss will include an intro/Q&A by director Robert Bierman The La cabina + El televisor double-bill will be introduced by Reece Shearsmith

Prince Charles Cinema@princecharlescinema.com · 4mo ago

To celebrate the release of two new @filmsradiance.bsky.social Transmission titles in July, we’re bringing two great events to our screens 28/05 - VAMPIRE'S KISS 4K Restoration w/ Director Q&A 19/06 - TWO BOXES : LA CABINA + EL TELEVISOR w/ Reece Shearsmith Intro

And what can you say about VAMPIRE’S KISS? One of the all time great 80s cult classics. Endlessly rewatchable. Hugely influential (looking at you, Patrick Bateman). Am I getting THROUGH TO YOU, Bluesky?

Radiance Films@filmsradiance.bsky.social · 4mo ago

UK: Self-centred yuppie Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage) believes he’s turning into a vampire in the outrageous VAMPIRE’S KISS, now on UHD. With one of Cage’s most unhinged performances, the world-premiere 4K restoration has been approved by Bierman and ft his short ‘The Dumb Waiter’

Working on this set has been one of the great passion projects of my life. I could not be happier or more excited to bring these films to Blu-ray for Transmission. Absolutely stunning artwork, great extras, two mind blowing films

Radiance Films@filmsradiance.bsky.social · 4mo ago

UK: With a huge cult following on late-night UK TV, LA CABINA depicts a man’s increased desperation to escape a telephone box. The first film in TWO BOXES, this world Blu-ray premiere includes new audio commentary by 'Inside no. 9' creators Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton

Coming this July, a double-dose of Transmission with Nicolas Cage’s VAMPIRE’S KISS on UHD and two iconic short horror films in TWO BOXES: TELEVISED TERROR IN FRANCO’S SPAIN.

We will never know the extent of the damage movies are doing to us, but movie art, it appears, thrives on moral chaos. When the country is paralyzed, the popular culture may tell us why. (1973)

Big day for Transmission today! Keep your eyes on the @filmsradiance.bsky.social account at 11am

The Stunt Man was always a favourite film of my Dad’s and I thought I remembered it but watching the Radiance 4K UHD tonight was pretty much all new to me. Fabulous film. Hell of a start for their Transmission releases after Night of the Juggler.

transmission, the sublabel to radiance films, is putting out fantastic releases

Good lord, @filmsradiance.bsky.social Transmission imprint is assembling wall-to-wall bangers right now!

Through an odd set of circumstances I watched the original Scary Movie on opening night in a packed cinema in Harlem with my dad at the age of 14. Bear in mind I was used to politely disengaged, whispery British cinema audiences. Needless to say, it was fucking *pandemonium* in there

Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. ​Every line gets crossed. The official trailer for Scary Movie is here:

💿September Announcements💿 September sees a foundation of New French Extremity on UHD/BD, an essential Samurai film, a classic of Spanish cinema and a brand new boxset of international noirs. Plus, a beloved early LE with extra copies found at our factory.

Also just watched THE SMASHING MACHINE, the John Hyams HBO doc that inspired the upcoming Safdie/The Rock UFC film. 1) absolutely phenomenal doc 2) no one is ready for the upcoming discourse around Emily Blunt’s character

THE FINAL RECKONING is THE DARK KNIGHT RISES of the franchise: messy, ludicrous, often outright intelligence-insulting, and fatally high on its own farty mythos, but the action film-making is ecstatic and few blockbusters can match the combination of blunt political sincerity and dizzying scale
