The Belle Starr Story (1968)
Directed by Lina Wertmüller, PIero Cristofani
Starring Elsa Martinelli

Pre-order: https://kinolorber.com/product/the-belle-starr-story

The Belle Starr Story is a rip-roaring Spaghetti Western starring Elsa Martinelli (Hatari!) and directed by the legendary Lina Wertmüller (Seven Beauties, Swept Away). It is the only Spaghetti Western to be directed by a woman - she replaced Piero Cristofani (using the pseudonym “Nathan Wich”) a few days into the shoot. Abused and dominated by men in her youth, Belle Starr (Martinelli) now out-rides, out-smokes, out-shoots, and out-gambles them as she makes her way around the Old West, usually wearing male garb.

Special Features
*Audio commentary by film historian Samm Deighan
*Italian with optional English subtitles
*US-release version with English audio (unrestored SD)

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

Flaming Ears (1992)
Directed by Ursula Puerrer, A. Hans Scheirl, Dietmar Schipek
Starring Susana Helmayr, Ursula Puerrer, A. Hans Scheirl

Pre-order: https://kinolorber.com/product/flaming-ears

Super-8 DIY filmmaking at its most audacious, Flaming Ears is a pop sci-fi lesbian extravaganza set in the year 2700 in the fictional burned-out city of Asche. In this cardboard-and-plastic dystopia, Spy (Susana Helmayr) is a comic book artist whose printing presses are burned down by Volley (Ursula Puerrer), a sexed-up pyromaniac. Wounded in her quest for revenge, Spy is sheltered by Nun (A. Hans Scheirl), an amoral alien in a red plastic suit with a predilection for reptiles...who also happens to be Volley’s lover. This story of obsession and revenge is also an anti-romantic plea for love in all its many forms. A truly fearless underground film newly restored in 4K, Flaming Ears playfully disrupts narrative conventions with its witty approach to film genre, and its punk visual splendor.

Special Features:
Three Short Films:
*Super-8-Girl Games (1985, 3 Min.)
*Gezacktes Rinnsal schleicht sich schamlos schenkelnässend an (Jagged trickle sneaks shamelessly thigh-wetting, 1985, 4 Min.)
*Das schwarze Herz tropft (Bastelanleitung zu R-innen (The Black Heart Drips, 1985, 13 Min.)
*Re-Release Trailer (2022)

Color 90 Minutes 2.35:1 Rated R
In this elegant crime drama, a mysterious stranger is the lone passenger disembarking from a train in a sleepy French village. His name is Milan (rock icon Johnny Hallyday, Détective), a criminal intent on knocking over the local bank. Upon his arrival, he is befriended by Manesquier (Jean Rochefort, Symphony for a Massacre), a retired poetry teacher. Through their unexpected friendship, both men come to realize they have been given the opportunity to look back on their lives—complete with dashed hopes and unfulfilled dreams. At the same time, both are given the momentary chance to explore the road not taken. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Patrice Leconte (Monsieur Hire, Girl on the Bridge), the dazzling Man on the Train captivated audiences at the 2002 Venice Film Festival, where it won the coveted audience awards for both Best Picture and Best Actor (Rochefort).

I do like how the cover is similar to a 'Disney Blu-Ray Exclusive', considering the personnel involved.

Sounds interesting!

Sounds interesting!

It's a great movie, top 2 Leconte with Monsieur Hire.

 

[haineshisway]

All Leconte is interesting, but the one everyone would absolutely love is One Chance for Two with Belmondo and Delon.
