Does Arrow ship with Hermes these days?
I've had an email off Hermes saying they've had a shipping label prepared and I can't think what it's for :lol: Got an Arrow sale order waiting for dispatch and a Halland & Barrett order, hoping it's the former :D

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Hiroshima (Blu-ray)

Release date: July 13th

Effectively out of circulation in Japan and the rest of the world since its original release in 1953, Hiroshima combines harrowing documentary realism with moving human drama.

"Hiroshima (1953) is a powerful evocation of the devastation wrought by the world’s first deployment of the atomic bomb and its aftermath, based on the written eye-witness accounts of its child survivors compiled by Dr. Arata Osada for the 1951 book Children Of The A Bomb: Testament Of The Boys And Girls Of Hiroshima.

Adapted for the screen by independent director Hideo Sekigawa (Listen to the Voices of the Sea, Tokyo Untouchable) and screenwriter Yasutaro Yagi (Theatre of Life, Rice), Hiroshima combines a harrowing documentary realism with moving human drama, in a tale of the suffering, endurance and survival of a group of teachers, their students and their families. It boasts a rousing score composed by Akira Ifukube (Godzilla) and an all-star cast including Yumeji Tsukioka (Late Spring, The Eternal Breasts), Isuzu Yamada (Throne of Blood, Yojimbo) and Eiji Okada (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Woman in the Dunes), appearing alongside an estimated 90,000 residents from the city as extras, including many survivors from that fateful day on 6th August 1945.

Hiroshima was produced and distributed outside of the studio system by the Japan Teachers’ Union following the mixed critical reception to Children of Hiroshima (1952), directed by Kaneto Shindo the previous year, the first dramatic feature to deal directly with the atomic bombing. Although sequences from the film were used in Alain Resnais’ classic of French New Wave cinema, Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), it has been effectively out of circulation in Japan and the rest of the world since its original release in 1953 due to the force and political sensitivity of its message. This new High Definition presentation is the complete version, restoring the footage from the international edit that was released in the United States in 1955."

Extra features:

• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation
• Original uncompressed audio
• Archive interview with actress Yumeji Tsukioka
• Hiroshima Nagasaki Download (2011), 73-minute documentary featuring interviews with survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings now residing in the United States, with an introduction by the director Shinpei Takeda
• New video essay by Jasper Sharp
• Newly commissioned artwork by Scott Saslow
• FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Mick Broderick

ARROW ACADEMY

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Life is a Long Quiet River (Blu-ray)

Release date: July 20th

An outrageously wicked comedy from award winning debut filmmaker Étienne Chatiliez.

"An outrageously wicked comedy about two families from award winning debut filmmaker Étienne Chatiliez, this fast-paced satire became the most popular French comedy of the decade.

The radiantly bourgeois Le Quesnoys with their immaculate children and perfect manners and the grubby, disreputable Groseilles are thrown together in absurd chaos by an act of revenge as they discover that twelve years prior their babies were switched at birth.

A witty send up of class relations and family ties, Life Is a Long Quiet River was celebrated with a host of trophies at France’s César Awards ceremony winning for best screenplay, best debut work and acting prizes for Héléne Vincent and Catherine Jacob."

Extra features:

• High Definition digital transfer
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation
• Original Mono audio
• Newly translated optional English subtitles
• Archival interviews with director Étienne Chatiliez, actor André Wilms, co-writer/co-producer Florence Quentin and producer Charles Gassot
• Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Scott Saslow
• FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Jonathan Romney

Looks like they've ditched the crappy reverse art for the US release of Sixteen Candles.

The "introduction" to beyond the door (from the code red release), is hilarious!!! Juliet Mills compares it to The Omen....

Anyhoo, settling down to watch this for the first time, having only ever seen the trailer on a trailer compilation back in the day.

My first thought was the school massacre film from Gus Van Sant

Mind you...people ride on elephants don't they, and presumably you have to stick out your thumb to catch one, so it must be 'The Hitcher'

Roar?
