Icarus Films Sets Marc Allégret’s Julietta For DVD Release On May 10 And Vitaly Mansky’s Putin’s Witnesses Follows On June 14

Icarus Films has added legendary French filmmaker Marc Allégret’s 1953 (1957, domestic theatrical debut) romantic comedy, Julietta, to its May 10 DVD release calendar.

Already in place on that date is his 1955 (1959 domestic) film adaptation of D. H. Lawrence’s 1928 novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, which is noted for being the subject of the 1959 Supreme Court ruling that banning its exhibition in New York City was a violation of the First Amendment.

Julietta, adapted from Louise de Vilmorin’s 1951 novel, stars Dany Robin (Napoleon, Good Evening Paris, Waltz of the Toreadors, Topaz) as the title character, who has been roped into an arranged marriage with a much older man.  On her way to fulfill her commitment, she leaves the train and wanders the countryside until she happens upon the house of André Landrecourt (Jean Marais — Orpheus, Napoleon), a dashing young attorney who is engaged to a woman by the name of Rosie (played by Jeanne Moreau). 

Thus, a romantic juggling act begins.   Landrecourt tries to keep Julietta from upsetting Rosie … and in the end we know how that is going to work out!!

Julietta is presented in French with English subtitles.

Also added to the DVD release calendar this past week by Icarus Films is documentary filmmaker Vitaly Mansky’s Putin’s Witnesses, which will be making its debut on June 14.

The timing couldn’t be better.   If you want to understand how Vladimir Putin came to power, look no further than Mansky’s treasure trove of footage from his rise to power in 1999. 

Although a documentary, Putin’s Witnesses plays more like an arthouse thriller — think: filmmaker Costa-Gavras’ 1969 film release of Z.  

Mansky’s film worked the film festival circuit begin in the summer of 2018 (long before the current Ukraine situation) and piled up award after award as it moved around the world from festival-to-festival throughout all of 2019 and into the Pandemic shutdown of early 2020.

Now it will be available for all to watch as it moves into the home entertainment packaged media marketplace in mid-June.

As a bonus, Icarus Films is including director Tania Rakhmanova’s rarely seen 2005 film, How Putin Came to Power.

Both films are presented in Russian with English subtitles.

 

 

 

Blue Underground's New 4K Film Restoration Of Writer/Director Larry Cohen's 1976 Film Release Of Gold Told Me Set For 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack Release On July 19

Blue Underground, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new 4K film restoration (from the original camera negative) of auteur filmmaker Larry Cohen’s 1976 New York City slaughter-in-the-streets thriller, God Told Me To, ready for delivery as a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack edition on July 19.

For film fans, Larry Cohen was one of the best indie filmmakers of the 1970s and 1980s.   He could do blaxploitation with the best of them, but it was his genre films that set him apart … It's Alive (1974, plus sequels), Q: The Winged Serpent (1982), The Stuff (1985) and of course Gold Told Me To, which combines elements of sci-fi, horror and New York City detective work (much like Q: The Winged Serpent).

A sniper mows down over a dozen people, and when cornered by Lieutenant Detective Peter Nicholas (Tony Lo Bianco — The French Connection, The Seven-Ups, The Honeymoon Killers), he seems calms, almost unaware of the carnage he has created.  Why?  “God told me to” … and then he leaps to his death from his rooftop perch.  

Soon Nicholas is interviewing a man in a hospital who went on a stabbing spree.  He’s in bad shape.   Why?  “God told me to” … and then he flatlines.

What the hell is going on.   Nicholas is mystified, but being a New York City police detective he is going to figure it out, it’s his job.

It happens again, this time at the famed St. Patrick's Day Parade, but it’s not some stranger, it is one of their own.   A cop, pulls his gun and just starts shooting people … and once again Nicholas is there in time to hear the final works of the killer, “God told me to.”  

Once, strange.  Twice, a coincidence.   A third time, this isn’t random, something evil is a work.

As mentioned, filmmaker Larry Cohen combined sci-fi, horror and police work in Gold Told Me To, which sets Det. Nicholas on a mission; an obsession to solve this bizarre mystery.   It is an investigation that will lead him down a rabbit hole that is totally unexpected … what is going on comes right back to him.  Whoa!

Bonus features include a vintage commentary option with the late Larry Cohen, plus a newly-prepared commentary with film historians Steve Mitch and Troy Howarth, a vintage Lincoln Center Q&A session with Larry Cohen (2002) and three featurettes — “Heaven & Hell on Earth,” “Bloody Good Times,” and “God Told Me to Bone.”
