Angel’s Egg (1985): Read Simon Hyslop’s original List Candidate review! In a desolate city, an angelic young girl cherishes an egg. We have been waiting for this one to be re-issued since the day this site first came into existence; that day is finally here. Umbrella’s Blu-ray/4K includes a commentary track, two video appreciations, and a Q&A with director Mamoru Oshii from a festival screening. Buy Angel’s Egg.
Kill List (2011): Read Jesse Miksic’s review. Ben Wheatley‘s breakthrough sophomore feature, a hitman tale with echoes of The Wicker Man, Rosemary’s Baby, and Angel Heart, gets the 4K UHD treatment. Buy Kill List.
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025): A Chilean feature about a young girl raised by a commune of drag queens which comes under suspicion when a disease arises which is spread by the male gaze. Opening in NYC this week with a few screenings across North America until early February (see following link for venues). The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo U.S. distributor site.
Rabbit Trap (2025): Married musicians accidentally make a field recording of a mysterious forbidden sound in Wales. This slow-paced surreal folk horror left most viewers equally bored and baffled. Buy Rabbit Trap.
Resurrection (2025): Bi Gan‘s latest involves a woman trapped in a dreamscape while undergoing a medical procedure who tells stories to an android corpse. In limited release right now from Janus, which means Criterion will release it in physical formats, probably in 2026. Resurrection at Janus Films.
Splendid Outing (1978): A Korean CEO (in the early days of feminism) is kidnapped and swept away to an island where a fisherman insists she is his wife. The scenario of this overlooked South Korean arthouse feature, now rediscovered by Radiance on Blu-ray, sounds a little like a gender-switched version of The Woman in the Dunes . Buy Splendid Outing.
