Shout's 4K edition has been floating around discount channels, and if you missed it at full price that's probably the move. Joe Carnahan's Alaska survival thriller translates well to the format, with stark outdoor photography and an Atmos mix that puts the wind and wolf sounds uncomfortably close.

Gröss to the brink of madness, but in his obsession, he has amassed a uniquely comprehensive collection of films that depict life in its final, grueling moments.

Vinegar Syndrome · Pre-Order

dir. David Lynch

Lynch shot Inland Empire on a Sony PD150 in standard definition in 2006, intentionally lo-fi and grainy. Criterion's 2023 Blu-ray drew the predictable "no 4K?" complaints from people who didn't read about the source material. The 4K UHD is now on the way from Criterion, sourced from the same Lynch-supervised remaster, with no release date set. It will be an upscale of a digital format that was already low-resolution when it was new. The 4K disc is a completist purchase.

Subu makes pornographic films. He sees nothing wrong with it. They are an aid to a repressed society, and he uses the money to support his landlady, Haru, and her family. From time to time, Haru shares her bed with Subu, though she believes her dead husband, reincarnated as a carp, disapproves. Director Shohei Imamura has always delighted in the kinky exploits of lowlifes, and in this 1966 classic, he finds subversive humor in the bizarre dynamics of Haru, her Oedipal son, and her daughter, the true object of her pornographer-boyfriend’s obsession. Imamura’s comic treatment of such taboos as voyeurism and incest sparked controversy when the film was released, but The Pornographers has outlasted its critics, and now seems frankly ahead of its time.
