WILD STYLE (1982) Arrow Video 4K UHD + Blu-ray Review

Image
  Arrow Video brings the seminal graffiti/hip hop/breakdancing docudrama WILD STYLE (1982) to 4K UHD and Blu-ray in sharp and colorful transfer, the best it's ever looked, with a wealth of interviews and archival footage featuring the real-life artists more or less playing themselves in the film, the players reflecting on their lives before and after the film in interviews spanning decades. A vibrant, upbeat look at a time and place long gone, but artistic movements that have reverberated for generations, and the pioneers who first gave them life by expressing their passions in a landscape crumbling around them. Available as a 4K set with the film and commentaries on Disc 1, a second loaded Blu-ray bonus disc, and a CD of the original soundtrack. The Blu-ray edition is identical, with the main feature disc a standard HD replication of the 4K Disc 1.

Image
  From the Harry Kumel, director of DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS, comes MALPERTUIS (1971), featuring Orson Welles in a strange tale of a young man beckoned back to his dark and cavernous family estate, where fellow relations eagerly anticipate the demise of lord of the manor Welles, in hopes of being the one chosen to inherit it all.

  88 Films dips back into the realm of Eurosleaze with their new 4K UHD+Blu-ray release of Joe D'Amato's softcore erotic melodrama ELEVEN DAYS, ELEVEN NIGHTS 2 (1991 - actually the third film in the series). What's a saucy lady to do when a freshly-deceased ex-lover asks her in his will to determine which of his conniving and perma-randy family members should inherit his business and fortune?

Unintentionally hilarious in its English-language audio option, as the American cast was apparently chosen more for looks and willingness to disrobe than acting ability, with some of the flattest line readings this side of Amber Waves. Notable for a late-period (and very chaste) appearance by Laura Gemser, who actual voice can be heard on the English track. The set includes a 4K UHD disc with the film, commentary, and Italian opening and closing credits as an extra, and a Blu-ray with those and many more insightful and amusing suppl...
