Starring Catherine Deneuve, Liv Ullman, Philippe Noiret, Bernard Blier, Stefania Sandrelli

From legendary director Mario Monicelli (Big Deal on Madonna Street) comes the award-winning Let’s Hope It’s a Girl (1986), a coruscating battle-of-the-sexes comedy that won seven David di Donatello Awards including Best Film.

Along with her sister Claudia (Catherine Deneuve) and a supportive group of other female relatives and employees, she gets the farm up and running again. When Leonardo returns, hoping to mansplain the right way to run a business, he is soon outclassed by Elena’s matriarchy.

Coming to Blu-ray February 21st from Kino Classics!

The Werewolf of Washington (1973)
Directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg
Starring Dean Stockwell, Biff McGuire, Jane House, Clifton James, Nancy Andrews, Michael Dunn


Pre-order: https://kinolorber.com/product/the-w...ington-blu-ray


Watergate-era governmental corruption inspired this cinematic howl of anger from boundary-breaking auteur Milton Moses Ginsberg (Coming Apart). The Werewolf of Washington is a biting satire that savagely attacks beltway politics while paying playful homage to the wolfman pictures of the past. Dean Stockwell (Blue Velvet) stars as a presidential aide whose rise to power is exacerbated by the bite of a wolf, transforming him into a bloodthirsty beast with the rising of every full moon. As history has shown, a monster in the White House is not strictly a 1970s phenomenon, and so, half a century later, The Werewolf of Washington is as eviscerating and relevant as ever. This edition includes a special director’s cut prepared by Ginsberg shortly before his death in 2021, as well as a 2K restoration of the 1973 theatrical release version.


SPECIAL FEATURES
*2021 Director's Cut
*Original theatrical release version
*Interview with Milton Moses Ginsberg, by Jake Perlin
*A critical discussion with Simon Abrams and Sheila O'Malley
*Theatrical trailer
*TV Spot
*Optional English SDH subtitles

Maigret: Season 3 (1962)
Directed by Andrew Osborn, Terence Williams, John Harrison, John Elliot
Starring: Rupert Davies, Ewen Solon, Helen Shingler, Neville Jason

Pre-order: https://kinolorber.com/product/maigret-season-3

Long-awaited and unseen anywhere for decades, Georges Simenon's Maigret (1960–1963) is the definitive adaptation of Georges Simenon’s world-famous novels. This BBC television production stars Rupert Davies as Commissaire Jules Maigret, the dogged French detective. Though Simenon’s books have been adapted many times, Davies’s celebrated, BAFTA-winning portrayal won the approval of Simenon himself, who stated: “At last, I have found the perfect Maigret!” This three-disc set includes all 13 episodes of Season 3, in which Maigret reckons with “The Madman of Vervac,” “The Crooked Castle,” and various other vexing cases that only the moody Maigret can solve. Georges Simenon's Maigret has been remastered in High Definition from original film elements and is featured here in its original fullscreen TV format.

Special features:
*“Simenon on Simenon”: 2021 interview with Georges's son John Simenon
*The State of Maigret: Restoration Notes
*Trailer
*English with optional English SDH subtitles
*Limited Edition O-Card
