(Marţi, după Crăciun)

A film by Radu Muntean
Romania, 2010

“A remarkable, pitch-perfect work, as convincing and affecting a portrayal of the subtleties of modern life and marriage as you'll find on the screen” LA Times

Tropical Malady

Radu Muntean's frank, resonant and highly acclaimed film examines the emotional impact of adultery upon its three participants.

A fixture on many international 'Best Films of 2011' lists, Tuesday, After Christmas is an astutely observed, deeply felt and intimately adult drama which presents a fresh and original perspective on an age-old human condition, and succeeds brilliantly through impeccable direction and remarkable performances.

POLISH CINEMA CLASSICS
Poland, 1957 - 1960

Tropical Malady

This 4-DVD Box Set includes:

NIGHT TRAIN (Pociąg, 1959)
A film by Jerzy Kawalerowicz
Employing a classic Hitchcockian premise - two people, one possibly a killer on the run, sharing a compartment on a night train – Kawalerowicz turns a thriller into an intriguing character study of ordinary people in unusual circumstances.
- Includes 'About Night Train' featurette.

INNOCENT SORCERERS (Niewinni czarodzieja, 1960)
A film by Andrzej Wajda
Wajda's provocative film, from a script co-written by Jerzy Skolimowski, is a chronicle of contemporary youth; a milieu of motor-scooters, sex and jazz enjoyed by a group of Warsaw twenty-somethings.
- Includes a newly filmed, exclusive interview with Wajda.

EROICA (1957)
A film by Andrzej Munk
Considered one of the most subversive films of the period, Munk's 'heroic symphony' presents two sardonic tales of courage and valour which set out to demystify the archetypal image of heroism.
- Includes Munk's short film A Walk in the Old Town of
Warsaw.

GOODBYE, SEE YOU TOMORROW (Do widzenia, do jutra, 1960)
A film by Janusz Morgenstern
This touching and visually stunning story of young love thwarted features Polish superstar Zbigniew Cybulski, a young Roman Polanski and a score by the great Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary's Baby). One of the key films of the era.

Release Date: February 27th 2012

Liverpool
A film by Lisandro Alonso
Argentina, 2008

“One of the great films of our times... I feel something in Liverpool that is so special and so rare in cinema these days”   
Daniel Kasman, MUBI

Tropical Malady

A sailor, Farrel, leaves his ship and begins a lengthy journey to wintry Tierra del Fuego’s interior, to an isolated village and family that he hasn’t seen in years. The route seems familiar to him, and we gradually piece together his relationship with the people and community he finds there. From the opening sequences on Farrel’s ship, to the spectacular harshness of his destination, Alonso is meticulous in mapping the sights and sounds of the landscape and Farrel’s personal journey into the past.

Heralded at film festivals around the world, Liverpool has established Lisandro Alonso as one of contemporary cinema’s most acclaimed and exciting filmmakers.

The DVD is presented in a brand new director-approved anamorphic digital transfer and also includes Untitled (Letter for Serra) / Sin título (Carta para Serra) – a new short film by
Lisandro Alonso, available for the first time anywhere on DVD.

Release Date: January 23rd 2012


Red Psalm (Még kér a nép)
A film by Miklós Jancsó
Hungary, 1971

"An awesome fusion of form with content and politics with poetry... May well be the greatest Hungarian film of the 60s and 70s"
Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tropical Malady

Miklós Jancsó is one of cinema's greatest visionaries and Red Psalm is a formidable work of art from a master filmmaker at the peak of his powers.
Radical in execution and poetic in its achievement, Red Psalm reaches beyond political dogma to expose a more universal, and deeper, truth that remains relevant today.

The DVD is presented in a brand new director-approved anamorphic digital transfer with restored picture and sound.
It also includes Message of Stones (A kövek üzenete): Hegyalja - the third film in Miklós Jancsó's renowned but rarely seen documentary series Message of Stones, and an expansive new essay by author and film programmer Peter Hames.

Release Date: October 24th 2011
