“Tchao Pantin” is another fantastic discovery by Radiance Films. This French neo-noir from 1983 features excellent performances, great direction by Claude Berri, and wonderful cinematography by Bruno Nuytten. Highly recommended!
“Wild Things” was one of the last erotic thrillers to see large scale success at the box office. With a strong neo-noir story and sly sense of humor, it has aged well. The Arrow Video 4K UHD is gorgeous.
“Miami Blues” is a very well done neo-noir adaptation of the eccentric and wonderful Charles Willeford novel. Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Fred Ward are all perfectly cast. Shout! Factory released the Blu-ray in 2015.
“Deep Cover” is one of the most visually exciting and eccentric undercover cop films from the Nineties. Kudos to Criterion for releasing this wonderful film from director Bill Duke on Blu-ray from a stunning 4K transfer.
8 Million Ways to Die is an interesting failure. There is a good film inside of what is presented, but Hal Ashby never got the chance he deserved to cut the film his way. I am really thankful that Kino Lorber has given the film a chance to find an audience on Blu-ray.
