AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY AND DVD! PRESENTS HEAVEN’S GATE MICHAEL CIMINO’S CUT OF HIS EPIC WESTERN, IN A BREATHTAKING NEW RESTORATION AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ANY FORMAT!

WINNER BEST ART DIRECTION, ACADEMY AWARDS, 1981

A visionary critique of American expansionism, Heaven’s Gate, directed by Oscar winner MICHAEL CIMINO (The Deer Hunter), is among Hollywood’s most ambitious and unorthodox epics. KRIS KRISTOFFERSON (Lone Star) brings his weathered sensuality to the role of a Harvard graduate who has relocated all the way to Wyoming as a federal marshal; there, he learns of a government-sanctioned plot by rich cattle barons to kill the area’s European settlers for their land. The resulting skirmish is based on the real-life bloody Johnson County War of 1892. Also starring ISABELLE HUPPERT (White Material) and CHRISTOPHER WALKEN (The Deer Hunter), Heaven’s Gate is a savage and ravishingly shot demystification of western movie lore. This is the full director’s cut, letting viewers today see Cimino’s potent original vision.

THREE ICONIC CLASSICS OF LITERATURE COME RIBALDLY ALIVE!

In the early 1970s, the great Italian poet, philosopher, and filmmaker PIER PAOLO PASOLINI (Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom) brought to the screen a trio of masterpieces of premodern world literature—Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, and The Thousand and One Nights (often known as The Arabian Nights)—and in doing so created his most uninhibited and extravagant work, which he titled his Trilogy of Life. In this brazen and bawdy triptych, the director set out to challenge consumer capitalism and celebrate the uncorrupted human body while commenting on contemporary sexual and religious mores and hypocrisies. His scatological humor and rough-hewn sensuality leave all modern standards of decency behind; these are physical, provocative, and wildly entertaining films, all extraordinarily designed by DANTE FERRETTI (Hugo) and featuring evocative music by ENNIO MORRICONE (Days of Heaven).

A riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice, Rashomon is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people recount different versions of the story of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which director (Seven Samurai) presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema—and a commanding new star by the name of TOSHIRO MIFUNE (Yojimbo)—to the Western world.

THE APOCALYPSE ACCORDING TO GODARD!

This scathing late-sixties satire from JEAN-LUC GODARD (Breathless) is one of cinema’s great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous centerpiece sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, Weekend is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society retreating to savagery, and—according to the credits—the end of cinema itself.

Following years of a certain radioactive rubber beast’s domination of the box office, many Japanese studios tried to replicate the formula with their own brands of monster movies. One of the most fascinating dives into that fiendish deep end was the short- lived one from Shochiku, a studio better known for its elegant dramas by the likes of and Yasujiro Ozu. In 1967 and 1968, the company created four certifiably batty, low-budget fantasies, tales haunted by watery ghosts, plagued by angry insects, and stalked by aliens—including one in the form of a giant chicken-lizard. Shochiku’s outrageous and oozy horror period shows a studio leaping into the unknown, even if only for one brief, bloody moment.

Eclipse is a selection of lost, forgotten, or overshadowed classics in simple, affordable editions. Each series is a brief cinematheque retrospective for the adventurous home viewer.
