Relaxer outshines all other recent films in the grotesque yet compelling absurdity stakes (and is quietly quite a film), as the pasty lead sticks and sits, glued to his leather seat trying to reach and exceed level 256 in Pacman before the fall of the comingВ Millennium. Elsewhere, the newish label Anti-Worlds bring a stylish committed presentation to contemporary cult, alternative and artist film releases, ensuring these bold visions receive the level of treatment and extras as archival editions.Its symbolic influence needs furtherВ unpicking. Future video director David Mallett oversees many of the actually quite racy Hot Gossip dance routes choreographed by Arlene Phillips and there are plenty of brightly-lit studio performances from the likes of Bryan Ferry, Suzi Quatro, Chas and Dave, Gary Numan and Hot Chocolate (and there are six discs of this stuff!). Although relying on older comedy talent for the writing, the Kenny Everett Video Show, beginning in 1979, was an important part of the burgeoning home video and even music video culture the country would experience in the 1980s.(Those whoвЂ™ve only seen the murky DVD will find it a literalВ revelation.) and IвЂ™ve finally got a decent copy of Shinya TsukamotoвЂ™s Haze, by some distance the most claustrophobic horror film IвЂ™ve ever seen.Bait is a crammed tribute to doggedly independent BritishВ cinema.the Elo Havetta Collection (which includes film-school shorts) is a comprehensive portrait of a filmmaker with a uniquely fantastical vision who tragically came of age artistically at just the wrong point (both his features were made after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the ensuing culturalВ crackdown).despite multiple viewings over several decades, IвЂ™ve never seen Walkabout look this good before (the inclusion of printed copies of the source novel and the first draft screenplay was a particularly niceВ touch).In addition to being a tragically timely portrait of its recently deceased core subject, the seven-and-a-half-hour Czechmate also offers a vertiginously deep dive into the Czechoslovak New Wave that pays gratifying attention to the oft-neglected SlovakВ part.
