Versions
Promotional Material An icon of the Hong Kong New Wave and mentor to Wong Kar-wai, Patrick Tam worked with icons including Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love), Leslie Cheung (Days of Being Wild), Kenny
Bee (Armour of God) and others in these two inimitable classics. In Nomad two couples, equal parts rich and working class, bond and experience the frolics of youth. The arrival of a Red Army deserter brings violence and disruption prompting incredible
plot twists and inspired set-pieces. My Heart is That Eternal Rose finds Tam in the more familiar Heroic Bloodshed genre. A young couple are torn apart by a botched Triad job that forces Rick to relocate to the Philippines and Lap to
become a gangster's moll. Six years later they meet again but their reunion only reignites the danger that drove them apart. Stunningly shot by David Chung (Once Upon a Time in China) and Christopher Doyle (Chungking Express) both
films are newly restored and made available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES

Promotional Material EVIL HAS NEVER BEEN SO SEDUCTIVE. It is often said that films about the Devil are cursed with bad luck, but Leslie Stevens' Incubus might be
the most cursed of them all. By the time it premiered in 1966, two of its stars had tragically taken their own lives; the eccentric director's insistence on filming in the obscure Esperanto language ensured it failed to receive any distribution; and it
was nearly lost forever when the original elements were believed lost in a fire. Decades passed until it was finally saved and unveiled to the public in all its unholy glory! Wounded in battle, soldier Marc (William Shatner, just prior to being
cast in Star Trek ) ventures to the remote village of Nomen Tuum to find a well where the waters are said to be blessed with healing powers. Little does he suspect that the inhabitants of Nomen Tuum are demonic
seductresses who entice interlopers and lead them to damnation, and one such succubus, Kia (Allyson Ames) has her sights on Marc. As an eclipse shrouds the sun and darkness falls over the village, Marc and Kia's relationship becomes more passionate...
will his soul survive? Now restored in 4K from the last known surviving 35mm print, this eerie and unforgettable American folk horror from the creator of The Outer Limits survives to chill a new generation as
never seen before. Stylishly filmed in Big Sur and other California locations by cinematographer (and future Academy Award winner) Conrad L. Hall, Incubus is a film unlike any other, now accompanied by hours of bonus features delving into the mysteries
of this once-thought-lost cult classic. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS

- Ai nu
Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan is a 1972 Hong Kong action drama by Yuen Chor
Starring Lily Ho, Yueh Hua and Betty Pei Ti
BBFC cuts were required for an X rated cinema release in 1973. Later uncut and BBFC 15 rated for 2024 Blu-ray. Summary Review The innocent Ai Nu is sold to a brothel run
by evil Madam Chun Yi, who falls in love with her at first sight. Quickly becoming the brothel's most desirable courtesan, Ai Nu climbs the ranks in Chinese society. The story has Lily Ho taking revenge on all the men she had to sleep with when
she first came to the brothel, and it's a pretty simple story. The acting from Betty Tei Pei is AMAZING, and it is a good overall movie, and has an amazing ending. It's directed by Chor Yuen, and as expected, it is a beautiful film to look at.
Chor Yuen worked very hard and put in a lot of detail to make sure that his movies had a unique look.
The swordplay is quite good for 1972, and it gets pretty bloody.
