Just finished reading Dennis' short blurb about a film we'll be releasing next year. A Slovak film that more than a little reminds me of @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com's THE GRAVEYARD BOOK (the only book that's brought me to tears). Can't wait for folks to discover this overlooked gem.

Pre-sales have begun for RUSLAN & LUDMILA! FYI...a large chunk of the RUSLAN & LUDMILA inventory was gobbled up by our last Kickstarter campaign. We have far fewer copies of this fourth Ptushko film available than we did the previous releases. Don't wait on this!

I do wish @VinegarSyndrome wasn't saying our titles were going out-of-print. They are NOT. VS is simply selling off the stock *they* have. That said, they're blowing them out at 50% off! Grab 'em while they're cheap! #WeWillMakeMore #NotOOP

The flashests of flash sales just began! THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR is one of my fav films we've released but for some reason hasn't been a big seller. Five copies of both the regular and slip editions in our shop right now 50% off. shop-deafcrocodile.c...
The Unknown Man of Shandigor Blu-rayshop-deafcrocodile.company.site Swiss director Jean-Louis Roy’s long-lost mid-1960s Cold War super-spy thriller is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVILLE, with sly nods to British TV shows like “THE AVENGERS” and “DOCTOR WHO.” The film stars a Who’s Who of great Sixties character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, THE DEVIL’S NIGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who’s invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons. A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the leader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco vet Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg’s deranged jazz-lounge song, “Bye Bye Mr. Spy” – performed by him on a funeral parlor organ, no less – is arguably the film’s high point. “An accomplished spy is at the same time psychologist, artist, funambulist, conjurer,” to quote one of the characters – and the same could be said of Roy’s exotic camera obscura of B&W Cold War paranoia. With Marie-France Boyer (Agnes Varda’s LE BONHEUR). directed by: Jean-Louis Roy starring: Marie-France Boyer, Ben Carruthers, Jacques Dufilho, Daniel Emilfork, Serge Gainsbourg 1967 / 90 min / 1.66:1 / French Mono Additional info: • Region A Blu-ray • New 4K Restoration from the original 35mm picture and sound elements by Cinémathèque suisse with additional digital restoration by Craig Rogers of Deaf Crocodile • New Commentary by film journalist Samm Deighan (Diabolique magazine, Daughters of Darkness podcast) • New Booklet essay by filmmaker, punk musician and poet, and genre expert Chris D. (The Flesh Eaters; author of Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film) • New interview with Francoise Roy, wife of director Jean-Louis Roy, and Michel Schopfer, first assistant director on THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR (17 min., in Swiss French with English subtitles) • Ultra-rare 1967 "making of" documentary from Swiss TV's "Cinema VIF" show, featuring interviews with director Jean-Louis Roy, cast members Daniel Emilfork, Jacques Dufilho, and Marie-France Boyer, and behind-the-scenes footage (28 min., in Swiss French with English subtitles) • Restored original trailer (4 min., in French with English subtitles) • Inside cover artwork • English subtitles Please Note: All of our blu-ray releases are region A locked. While we'll ship anywhere in the world, you will need a region-free player to enjoy our discs outside of Region A countries. If you order other items with a Pre-Order item, they will ship together. If you would like your other items to ship immediately, you will need to place separate orders. Thank you! We can unfortunately no longer offer shipping to the UK. The UK requires that a 20% vig...err VAT tax needs to be collected on all merchandise shipments entering the UK. 20% on top of already high shipping rates makes it simply unreasonably expensive to ship to the UK. With the number of "Return to Sender" packages we get kicked back from the UK without explanation it's simply untenable.

How far can you push someone who has nothing? WORLD WAR III now available to pre-order. shop-deafcrocodile.c...
World War III Blu-rayshop-deafcrocodile.company.site WORLD WAR III – 2022, Iranian Independents, 107 min. The official Iranian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2023 Academy Awards, and the Winner of the Orizzonti Awards for Best Film and Actor at the Venice Film Festival 2022, director Houman Seyedi’s savage, mysterious thriller/drama WORLD WAR III is one of the darkest, most enigmatic portraits of class inequality, desperation and murder since Lee Chang-dong’s BURNING and Bong Joon-ho’s PARASITE. Mohsen Tanabandeh delivers an unforgettable performance as Shakib, an anonymous day laborer still grieving the deaths of his wife and son who’s given a job guarding the set of a film about the Holocaust. When the lead actor playing (yes) Hitler is struck ill, Shakib is enlisted to wear the costume and mustache – and for the first time in his life, he has a little money, respect and a place to sleep. Unexpectedly, his sex worker “girlfriend” ( Mahsa Hejazi ) shows up, threatening to upset his tenacious hold on prosperity. What starts out as a dark satire of the Iranian film industry quickly evolves into a near-Hitchcockian thriller of the underclass struggling violently to be heard, to be seen – with an apocalyptic ending that is truly something to behold. In Persian with English subtitles. “Houman Seyedi’s sixth feature starts out as jet-black comedy before darkening still further into tragedy, a journey embodied in an absorbing and extraordinary central performance by Mohsen Tanabandeh as the film ’s downtrodden hero. … Times may change, Seyedi is telling us, but the ways in which power is exercised remain the same, and there’s always someone at the bottom of the pyramid who will refuse to be forgotten.” – Jonathan Holland, Screen Daily directed by: Houman Seyedi 2022 / 107 min / 1.85:1 / Persian DTS-HD 5.1 Bonus Features: • New hour-long video interview with director Houman Seyedi and co-writer Azad Jafarian, moderated by Dennis Bartok of Deaf Crocodile (in Persian with simultaneous English translation). • New commentary by film critic Walter Chaw (Film Freak Central). • Blu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity In Motion.
