Anora, en ung sexarbetare från Brooklyn, får chansen att förverkliga en Askungesaga när hon möter, och impulsivt gifter sig med, sonen till en oligark. När nyheterna når Ryssland hotas hennes saga, då hans föräldrar ger sig iväg till New York för att få äktenskapet annullerat.<br/><br/>Contemporary cinema's foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti-Cinderella story - a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch's wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale - also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan - that turns the cruel realities of class inside out. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Anora confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/><br/>Language(s): English, Russian, Armenian, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1 - 2.39:1, 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Bonus Footage, Commentary: Sean Baker, Alex Coco (producer), Samantha Quan (producer) and Drew Daniels (cinematographer); Sean Baker, Yura Borisov (actor), Mark Eydelshteyn (actor), Karren Karagulian (actor), Mikey Madison and Vache Tovmasyan (actor)., Deleted Scenes, Interviews: Sean Baker (director); Mikey Madison (actor)., Making of Documentary, Cannes Film Festival press conference; Q&A with Mikey Madison and Lindsey Normington (actor/stripper); Essays by Dennis Lim (film critic) and Kier-La Janisse (author); New cover by Bianca Parkes and GrandSon with photography by Max Abadian., Trailers

Arthur Penn's haunting neonoir reimagines the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actress's missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. Bolstered by Alan Sharp's genre-scrambling script and Dede Allen's elliptical editing, the daringly labyrinthine Night Moves is a defining work of post-Watergate cinema - a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/>Language(s): English, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1 - 1.85:1, Mono, Behind the Scenes, Bonus Footage, Commentary: Matthew Asprey Gear (author)., Documentaries: 'The Day of the Director'., Interviews: Jennifer Warren (actor); Arthur Penn (director)., Essay by Mark Harris (critic); New cover by Greg Manchess., Trailers

Denna fantastiska box från Criterion Collection innehåller 15 filmer:<br/><br/>Godzilla (1954)<br/>Godzilla Raids Again (1955)<br/>King Kong Vs Godzilla(1963)<br/>Mothra Vs Godzilla' (1964)<br/>Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)<br/>Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)<br/>Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966)<br/>Son of Godzilla (1967)<br/>Destroy All Monsters (1968)<br/>All Monsters Attack (1969)<br/>Godzilla Vs Hedorah (1971)<br/>Godzilla Vs Gigan (1972)<br/>Godzilla Vs Megalon (1973)<br/>Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla (1974)<br/>Terror of Mechagodz (1975).<br/><br/>In 1954, an enormous beast clawed its way out of the sea, destroying everything in its path-and changing movies forever. The arresting original Godzilla soon gave rise to an entire monster-movie genre (kaiju eiga), but the King of the Monsters continued to reign supreme: in fourteen fiercely entertaining sequels over the next two decades, Godzilla defended its throne against a host of other formidable creatures, transforming from a terrifying symbol of nuclear annihilation into a benevolent (if still belligerent) Earth protector. Collected here for the first time are all fifteen Godzilla films of Japan's Showa era, in a landmark set showcasing the technical wizardry, fantastical storytelling, and indomitable international appeal that established the most iconic giant monster the cinema has ever seen.<br/><br/>This lavish and much sought-after collection features high-definition digital transfers of all fifteen Godzilla films made between 1954 and 1975, released together for the first time. Beautifully presented in a bumper, bonus-packed box set, the package includes an illustrated deluxe hardcover book featuring an essay by cinema historian Steve Ryfle, notes on the films by cinema historian Ed Godziszewski, and new illustrations by Arthur Adams, Sophie Campbell, Becky Cloonan, Jorge Coelho, Geof Darrow, Simon Gane, Robert Goodin, Benjamin Marra, Monarobot, Takashi Okazaki, Angela Rizza, Yuko Shimizu, Bill Sienkiewicz, Katsuya Terada, Ronald Wimberly, and Chris Wisnia.
