Martin Eden
Directed by Pietro Marcello
Starring Luca Marinelli (The Old Guard)

"Everything I love in movies." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"Gorgeous...a star-making performance from Luca Marinelli." - Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

One of the most critically-acclaimed films of 2020! Adapted from a 1909 novel by Jack London yet set in a provocatively unspecified moment in Italy’s history, Martin Eden is a passionate and enthralling narrative fresco in the tradition of the great Italian classics.Martin (Luca Marinelli) is a self-taught proletarian with artistic aspirations who hopes that his dreams of becoming a writer will help him rise above his station and marry a wealthy young university student (Jessica Cressy). The dissatisfactions of working-class toil and bourgeois success lead to political awakening and destructive anxiety in this enveloping, superbly mounted bildungsroman.

Special features:
*Virtual Q&A with star Luca Marinelli and director Pietro Marcello (Courtesy of Film at Lincoln Center)
*Interview with Pietro Marcello
*Audio commentary by film scholar Giovanna De Luca, PhD
*Optional English subtitles
*Theatrical trailer

 

[Detour (1945)]

So this "Ingagi" makes it's home video debut... I'm guessing that means it wasn't even on VHS?

Yep, never on VHS, DVD, Laser Disc, Beta, you name it. It was considered lost, but there are actually four incomplete copies at the LoC, and those were used to assemble this release.

• 11 Radio Spots
• Theatrical Trailer
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

Color 93 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated PG
From Larry Peerce, the acclaimed director The Incident, Ash Wednesday, The Other Side of the Mountain and Two-Minute Warning, comes this rock ’n’ roll drama starring Grammy-winning superstar Rick Springfield (“Jessie’s Girl”) that heats up the screen with rousing music and romance. An incredible soundtrack featuring seven Springfield songs, including the hit, “Love Somebody,” as well as music by Peter Gabriel, Graham Parker and Nona Hendryx. Jamie Roberts (Springfield) is a rock star living the highlife when he falls for an intellectual child psychologist (Janet Eilber, Romantic Comedy) who only has ears for classical music. Opposites attract, but his jealous ex-girlfriend (Patti Hansen, They All Laughed) isn’t ready to give up so easily. Love is hard to find when the whole world is watching.

Any movie with Julie Adams in her prime is automatically something that will pique my interest. Beautiful actress.

Another Golden Age 3D? Miraculous!

 

[bujaki]

Wings of the Hawk is a very good movie in 2D as well, but it's very, very good in 3D!
Thanks to all involved in this most welcome release.

Finally, nature unleashes its revenge! From the pollution of our nuclear waste came the killer we cannot destroy. Our worst nightmares come to life with the terrifying, scaly monster – SLITHIS!

In the tradition of JAWS, two outcasts, a teacher and a Jamaican sea-hunter, will take on the horrific monster to stop the slaughter! This mud monster creature is something out of those 50’s classics we love!

This is a very dumb question from me, no doubt, but what would you need hardware wise to watch a 3D blu-ray like Wings of the Hawk? Do you need a 3D capable blu-Ray player plus a 3D capable TV? Do you need 3D glasses? I really don’t know. I seem to remember back in the day competing 3D formats.

 

[AnthonyClarke]

You need three things ... a 3d capable Blu ray player, 3d compatible TV or projector and glasses.
Of course, such discs also possess the option of watching in 2D if you lack any of those.

You can also try a head-mounted-display [HMD] with an HDMI port.

Worth noting that as I write this the above announcement about Wings of the Hawk already has garnered 26 "Likes." Pretty clearly underscores the popularity of Golden Age 3D titles, and the fan loyalty.

I've only seen the bad previous DVD, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

Looks a lot better than the DVD which was cropped on all four sides.

SO looking forward to Ulysses. I see that some of that "good old" ancient adventure stuff is coming to blu-ray in Germany (and with English subs) soon. Wonder if Kino might have some more surprises in store for we fans of this genre in future.
