Sherlock Jr DVD boxSHERLOCK JR. & THE THREE AGES
Silent / classic / comedy

Two Buster Keaton silent features at their best--restored for high definition and presented with a smorgasbord of extras--including an audio commentary on SHERLOCK JR. by me and a new documentary on the film by my friend and colleague David Pearson. 

Fantomas coverFANTOMAS
Silent / classic / thriller

Louis Feuillade's phenomenally popular and influential serialized suspense thrillers from 1913-1914, with English subtitles and audio commentary by yours truly. This superb package also includes two rare Feuillade films, THE NATIVITY and THE DWARF. Simply fantastic! Also, is it just me or this the coolest looking box art Kino has ever had?

CITY GIRL
Silent / classic / drama

F.W. Murnau made this poetic-realistic masterpiece in 1928/29 but it was shelved until 1930 when it was finally released in a bastardized talkie-hybrid using footage shot after Murnau quit.  Decades passed before the original cut was restored--and here it is, on 1080p Blu-Ray from Masters of Cinema, with an audio commentary by me to help put it into context in Murnau's career.

THE COMPLETE FRITZ LANG MABUSE (Box Set)
Silent / classic / foreign / thriller / espionage / pulp
 
This box set from Masters of Cinema collects THE definitive editions of all three of Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse thrillers (1922, 1933, and 1960), with superior transfers and more complete editions than any previous DVDs--and I provide running audio commentaries on all 9 hours of it! Yeah, the All Day DVD of 1000 EYES OF DR. MABUSE is out of print and netting huge prices on ebay--but if you can play this Region 2 PAL set, this is better in every possible way. No kidding.

THE FINANCES OF THE GRAND DUKE (Masters of Cinema)
Silent / classic / drama
 
For international customers interested in Murnau's little-seen THE FINANCES OF THE GRAND DUKE but who would prefer a PAL Region 2 edition, this Masters of Cinema disc is just the ticket--and this version uses the same audio commentary as the Kino disc below.

MURNAU (6 DVD Box Set)
Silent / classic / horror / drama
 
I had the great privilege of recording an audio commentary for the first-ever American release of Murnau's little-seen THE FINANCES OF THE GRAND DUKE. If I tell you this is a pulp mystery in the style of Arsene Lupin, written by Thea von Harbou and photographed by Karl Freund, you'll get the wrong idea. Think screwball comedy, think Cary Grant. From Murnau? You bet.

HARRY LANGDON: THREE'S A CROWD
Silent comedy / classic
 
THREE'S A CROWD is a misunderstood masterpiece, and one of the most singular artistic achievements of the 1920s. I am honored to accompany this glorious high-definition restoration with an audio commentary--and the excellent DVD also features a reconstructed presentation of Langdon's last surviving silent feature. This is must-have stuff, folks.

GHIDRAH THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER
Science fiction / monsters / Japanese

Available alone or as part of a superb box set, this nifty disc presents the original Japanese edition of this Godzilla flick and its alternate English language American cut. I provide an audio commentary, which was a thrill because this is my favorite Godzilla movie of all.

THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE
Thriller / espionage / German / pulp

Fritz Lang's masterpiece from 1933 gets the full Criterion Collection treatment in this deluxe package. I provide an audio commentary on the definitive restoration on disc 1, while disc 2 presents the French version (shot with a different cast!) and a featurette I made dissecting the differences between the German, French, and American versions.

SCARLET STREET
Thriller / film noir
 
Fritz Lang, Eddie Robinson, Joan Bennett, sex, humiliation, and murder. And I provide an audio commentary, if that ain't enough to entice you.

EYES WITHOUT A FACE
Horror / thriller / French New Wave

Georges Franju's best known and most memorable film--said to have caused audiences to faint back in the day, done right as only Criterion can. No audio commentary this time, guys, but I did write the liner notes.


CRY OF THE OWL
Thriller / French / arthouse
The classic French thriller based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith, directed by Claude Chabrol.
Australian edition from Umbrella

THE 1000 EYES OF DR. MABUSE
Thriller / German / pulp

Fritz Lang's final film, in which the legendary Dr. Mabuse returns from the grave to torment a Cold War world.

German edition from Polyband

THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE

A trippy remake of Fritz Lang's 1933 masterpiece, made in the style of an Edgar Wallace krimi.
