Icarus Films Looks To Mar. 15 As The DVD Debut Date For French Filmmaker Aurel's Josep

Icarus Films latest collaboration with France’s premiere film production and distribution company, Distrib Films, arrives in the domestic DVD marketplace on Mar. 15.  

If you are a fan of animation, then you can set aside your Pixar films for an evening and enjoy French filmmaker Aurel’s 2020 César Awards-winner for Best Animated Film (the French equivalent of our Oscars), Josep, the biographical story of famed Catalan newspaper illustrator and artist Josep Bartolí and his experiences as a young man in France.

Josep, a rare French animated film, joins the sweet company of director Sylvain Chomet’s Oscar-nominated The Illusionist (2010) and The Triplets of Belleville (2003), René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973), Simon Rouby’s haunting Adama (2015) and the writing and directing team of Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi’s Oscar-nominated Persepolis (2007).   It is that good, and quite a feat for a debut feature film from Aurel (a French newspaper cartoonist and comic book author).  Josep worked the international film festival circuit beginning in June of 2020, moved into selected European theatrical venues (pulling in a solid $1.6 million in ticket sales) and in March of 2021 captured the Best Animated Film award at the 46^th annual César Awards.

Told in flashback by a dying prison guard, on his deathbed some 50 years after the events, we learn how he met and befriended Josep Bartolí, the famed Spanish newspaper cartoonist and anti-Franco fighter, who escaped Spain and ended up in a French prison camp.   We learn of Bartoli’s struggles, his eventual release, his love-affair with Frida Kahlo and more.

Josep is presented in French and Spanish with English subtitles.

 

 

 

Director Derek Stockton's Quiet, Pretty Things On DVD On Mar. 22 From Bayview Entertainment

Bayview Entertainment has zeroed-in on Mar. 22 as the DVD debut date for director Derek Stockton’s Quiet, Pretty Things.

What do you get when the hunter becomes the target of the hunted?  That’s what Rion (Eli Taylor — Man in the Box), a clever serial killer has decided to do.  He will become the hunter and go after the troubled detective, Quentin Robichaud (Casey Bales in his feature film debut), who swings between inept and obsessed with his attempts at bringing Rion to justice.  

But now, the obsession and the interest has swung over to Rion, a mass murderer who has taken an interest in the man who is pursuing him … a very personal interest!  Detective Robichaud knows everything there is to know about the serial killer, except his identity.   Not so for Rion, we know who his nemesis is, and he knows all the little details.  

Robichaud is so far off the mark that he is in therapy — that’s not a good sign — and his wife, Emily (Kayla Brooks) has mistaken his “distant” behavior as a clear sign that he is having an affair.  It really can’t get more messed-up than this … oh, but wait, it will!

Out of desperation, Robichaud decides to recruit the media and invent some fictions about the unknown, but very prolific killer.   Little does Robichaud know, but Rion has developed some “ticks” of his own … some screw-loose behavior that is accelerated when the “lies” begin to go public!!

With this last move things are set in motion that will make this hunt very, very personal!!

 

 

 

Full Moon Features Targets Mar. 08 For Blu-ray Debut Of Director Michael Pataki's Mansion Of The Doomed

Full Moon Features, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has announced a new film restoration (from the original 35mm camera negative) of director Michael Pataki’s 1976 ultra-creepy horror tale, Mansion of the Doomed, which will be making its Blu-ray debut on Mar. 8.

Iconic producer, director, writer Charles Band didn’t always have Full Moon Features, his early films were distributed by others — Group 1 International, Irwin Yablans Company, Compass International Pictures and so on.  

Mansion of the Doomed was his first “official” producer credit, with long-time actor Michael Pataki making his debut as a director (as Korax in the famous Star Trek episode, “The Trouble with Tribbles” … The Return of Count Yoga, Grave of the Vampire, The Baby, as Count Dracula in director Albert Band’s Dracula’s Dog and more, many more).   

Also of note, the screenwriter for Mansion of the Doomed was another long-time Charles Band associate, the late Frank Ray Perilli, whose writing credits included The Doberman Gang, the aforementioned Dracula’s Dog, Laserblast and She Came to the Valley (also directed by Albert Band, Charles Band’s father, who was a prolific writer, director, producer and actor in his own right).

In other words, this early non-Full Moon Feature (which is now back home and making its Blu-ray debut), was nothing short of a family affair.

While the directing, producing and writer components — and distribution — were all indies and just starting out, the acting compliment was anything but.   A-list, established actors, including Richard Basehart and Gloria Grahame as the co-stars … and there are some real treats among the rest of the cast and crew, including genre-fan favorite Lance Hendrickson in one of his early pre-Terminator/pre-Aliens film roles and future three-time Oscar-winner Stan Winston as the genius behind the eye-gouging make-up effects.  

Other members of the cast included Trish Stewart in her feature-film debut as Nancy, the much-operated-upon guinea pig of her father’s (Basehart) insane eye-transplant experiments, and Vic Tayback as Detective Simon.

This is a mad scientist gem, with Basehart as Dr. Chaney, a noted ophthalmologist, who goes off the deep end in search of a cure for his daughter’s blindness (caused by an auto accident where he was the driver) and begins abducting people and cutting out their eyes.   He is assisted by his nurse, Katherine (Grahame) … and the test subjects (now blinded) are imprisoned in the basement!!   We told you from the get-go that this is an “ultra-creepy horror tale.”  Twisted!!

A DVD edition will also be available from Full Moon Features on Mar. 8.
