Dark Water
(2002 -- Japan) After terrifying audiences worldwide with the blockbuster J-horror classic "Ring" and its sequel, director Hideo Nakata returned to the genre for "Dark Water," another highly atmospheric, and critically acclaimed, tale of the supernatural which took the common theme of the "dead wet girl" to new heights of suspense and drama. Based upon on a short story by "Ring" author Koji Suzuki, "Dark Water" follows Yoshimi, a single mother struggling to win sole custody of her only child, Ikuko. When they move into a new home within a dilapidated and long-forgotten apartment complex, Yoshimi begins to experience startling visions and unexplainable sounds, calling her mental well-being into question, and endangering not only her custody of Ikuko, but perhaps their lives as well. Beautifully shot by the same cinematographer as "Ring" and "Pulse," and featuring an especially unnerving sound design, "Dark Water" successfully merges spine-tingling tension with a family's heart-wrenching emotional struggle, creating one of the very finest and most unsettling contemporary Japanese horror films. 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible).

Lynch/Oz
(2024)The themes, images, and cultural vernacular of Victor Fleming’s "The Wizard of Oz" continue to haunt David Lynch’s filmography -- from his early short "The Alphabet" to his recent television series "Twin Peaks: The Return." Arguably, no filmmaker has so consistently drawn inspiration -- consciously or unconsciously -- from a single work. Is Lynch trapped in the Land of Oz? If so, what can we learn about his body of work by taking a closer look at how it intersects and communicates with that legendary fantasy? In turn, what do Lynch’s films have to say about the enduring resonance of one of America’s most beloved classics? Through six distinct perspectives, Alexandre O. Philippe’s "Lynch/Oz" helps us reexperience and reinterpret "The Wizard of Oz" by way of David Lynch, delivering new appreciations of both. Formats: DVD, Blu-ray. Extras: "Meet the Filmmaker", a new interview with director Alexandre O. Philippe; trailer. (Janus Contemporaries).

The Runner
(1984 -- Iran) Childhood takes on mythic dimensions in one of the defining works of postrevolutionary Iranian cinema. Inspired by director Amir Naderi’s own boyhood, "The Runner" is lit from within by Madjid Niroumand’s electrifying performance as a young orphan fending for himself on the streets of a port city, determined to rise above his circumstances -- working odd jobs, passing time with friends, learning to read -- and running, always running, toward the future. Water, fire, the human body in motion: in hypnotic images of lyrical power, Naderi finds unexpected glory in the world of a boy suspended between modernity and elemental natural forces as he chases his own path forward. Formats: DVD, Blu-ray, with new 2K digital restoration, supervised by director Amir Naderi, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack.
