Masters Of Cinema Acquires JOURNEY TO THE SHORE, Unveils MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR And 1900 For April
Eureka Entertainment's Master of Cinema series announced today that they will be releasing Kurosawa Kiyoshi's Journey To The Shore on the boutique label later this year, following a theatrical run at the Glasgow Film Festival. April's slate of titles was also announced, unveiling a trio of tantalising releases. 

Sydney Pollack's classic espionage thriller Three Days Of The Condor starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, will arrive in a dual-format release on 11 April. The following week, Bernardo Bertolucci's epic 1900 (Novecento), starring Robert DeNiro and Gerard Depardieu, will be released on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

The jewel in their crown, however, is the long-awaited unveiling of Man With A Movie Camera, Dziga Vertov's seminal 1929 documentary, which will be released on 18 April in an epic limited edition 4-disc dual format edition. The press release elaborates:

Voted one of the ten best films ever made in the Sight & Sound 2012 poll, and the best documentary ever in a subsequent poll in 2014, Man With A Movie Camera (Chelovek s kinoapparatom) stands as one of cinema's most essential documents - a dazzling exploration of the possibilities of image-making as related to the everyday world around us.

The culmination of a decade of experiments to render "the chaos of visual phenomena filling the universe", Dziga Vertov's masterwork uses a staggering array of cinematic devices to capture the city at work and at play, as well as the machines that power it.

Presented in a definitive new restoration from EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam and Lobster Films, the film is also presented with other works by Vertov, both before and after his masterpiece - Kino-Eye (1924), Kino-Pravda #21 (1925), Enthusiasm: Symphony of the Donbass (1931) and Three Songs About Lenin (1934). 

This is huge news for a label that is enjoying an incredible run of form recently. All of these releases are instant purchases in my humble opinion, and are already up for pre-order at your favourite river-named retailer.
