A TALE OF SORROW AND SADNESS (1977) Radiance Films Blu-ray Review


Radiance Films brings Japanese director Seijun Suzuki's (BRANDED TO KILL, TOKYO DRIFTER) 1977 dark satire of advertising, idol-making, and celebrity, A TALE OF SORROW AND SADNESS to Blu-ray looking gorgeous, with hole-in-one extras.

When a textile company needs a new celebrity to shill their clothing lines, they decide to build up a moderately successful and attractive female golfer into their next superstar. A peek behind the curtain of glittering celebrity that starts off amusing and light, but gets increasingly dark as the pressures of maintaining artifice rise, and a local female stalker attaches herself to our glamourous golfer. Colorfully shot with some memorable images, this one is a slow roll to the 18th hole that pays off.

  In theaters for the moment from Firebook Entertainment is the new Mexican horror film PARVULOS: CHILDRDEN OF THE APOCALYPSE, well worth checking out and going in as blind as possible on. Three brothers live in the woods with an unseen monster in the basement that they need to keep fed, while they wait for their parents to return in a post-apocalyptic world. Goes places you don't think it will, with a solid cast and some hard to watch moments. Full review here:

HERETIC (2024) Review

Image
  Hugh Grant owns the screen in HERETIC, the new A24 psychological horror film, a tense thriller wherein two Mormon missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) knock on the wrong door and find themselves in an increasingly dark theological discussion. Small cast, small location, definitely worth seeing on the big screen. Get your copy now from Amazon at:  https://amzn.to/4fkdsZU   (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)
