Murnau, Lang, Mizoguchi And Hawks In Masters Of Cinema Oct-Nov Line-Up
October sees Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse The Gambler get a Blu-ray world premiere, to accompany last year's release of sequel The Testament of Dr. Mabuse. Also coming to Blu-ray that month is Howard Hawks' seminal western, Red River, starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift, and a limited edition dual-format 8-film set of late classics from Japanese legend, Mizoguchi Kenji.
In November we have the previously announced release of F.W. Murnau's vampire classic Nosferatu, which comes to Blu-ray following a UK theatrical release that begins with a screening at Film4FrightFest in London this weekend. Also out that month is the first in a series of multi-film releases as part of an exclusive partnership with Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation. This first release will include Metin Erksan's Dry Summer, Ahmed El Maanouni's Trances and Ermek Shinarbaev's Revenge.
These all look to be incredibly exciting releases, with Red River and Nosferatu likely to prove huge crossover sellers for the label, while that Mizoguchi box set has "Christmas Present" written all over it for discerning cineastes everywhere. We'll bring you more details about these releases as we get it, but in the meantime check out the artwork in the gallery below.
