Look forward to that.

I'm sure the box sets are very worthy additions to anyones collection but i'm just going to pick this up as a single release.

Interested to hear your views on Culloden, Reaps.

I reviewed it last weekend on the What Films Have You Seen? thread.

Look forward to your reviews as i have not seen either film. A pic and score will not do.

You should have ordered from HMV. :tsk:

I would have done but Amazon were cheaper - HMV's prices are usually higher for BFI and Eureka releases so I usually end up going down the Amazon route unfortunately.

As for the reviews, I'll see what I can do. ;)

You didn't pick up Expresso Bongo? I think that looks better than Beat Girl.

Beat Girl has a supernatural film with Christopher Lee in the extras so if it was between the two i know which i'd opt for.

Perhaps i should let B_E answer for himself.

Justin101 23rd April 2016 06:22 PM
I think that's only 15-20 mins long. I do plan on getting both of them at some point but I'm going to get Cliff Richard's first :lol:

It just didn't 'speak to me' like Beat Girl did (Symptoms was always going to be bought I've been waiting for it to be released for years!) I may pick it up sometime... you'll have to let me know what it's like!

Only what's listed on Amazon (due to the format and content I'd say this came directly from the BFI specs):

Quote:
PENDA'S FEN (Limited Edition Blu-ray)
A film by Alan Clarke

Originally shown on BBC1 in 1974 and rarely seen since, Penda's Fen has become the stuff of legend, its name invoking the spirit of a time when television had the power to provoke and astound.

Exploring theme of personal and national identity, language, history and industrial progress, this unclassifiable drama boldly weaves its exquisite, fantastical imagery with the rousing music of Elgar to tell a tale of ancient legends and sexual awakening which stands as one of British television's greatest ever achievements.

Released for the first time on Blu-ray, this astonishing work from Alan Clarke (Scum, The Firm and Rita, Sue and Bob Too) has been newly transferred in High Definition, and is presented here with a newly created documentary featuring interviews with its writer David Rudkin and producer David Rose.

Special features

World premiere release
Newly remastered in High Definition
The Landscape of Feelings: The road to Penda's Fen (2016, 16 mins): new documentary on the making of Rudkin and Clarke's groundbreaking drama, featuring an interview with David Rudkin and producer David Rose, as well as contributions from Clarke collaborators such as writer David Yallop, actor Sean Chapman and playwright David Leland
Illustrated booklet with new writing by Sukhdev Sandhu and full credits

UK | 1974 | colour | 89 minutes | English language, with optional hard-of-hearing subtitles | original aspect ratio 1.33:1 | BD25 | 25fps | 1080p/50i | LPCM 2.0 mono audio (48kHz/24-bit)

Demdike@Cult Labs 28th April 2016 05:26 PM
Cheers. Shame there's no commentary. Hopefully the booklet will be good to make up for it.

Hard to imagine getting a blu-ray release as apparently when severin went looking no suitable materials were to be found. Great movie though :nod:

Didn't realise this, so I guess it could be bollocks. Still, would like to see this and more 70s stuff on the Flipside!

Even a features laden dvd would be better than nothing.

Indeed he is. He once wanted myself to appear, but as soon as I heard the words rear naked choke, I was out of there sharpish.

SHITE!

GREAT to have Psychomania on Blu! :cool:

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 3rd May 2016 06:29 PM
Watched Symptoms yesterday.
It ain't the fastest moving film ever made.Good perfromances,but the 'leisurely' pace made it a bit of a chore to sit through.

To be fair,I was knackered after having walked the mutt six miles.....perhaps another viewing will bring more reward....

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 3rd May 2016 06:30 PM
A British cult classic! :cool:

I'm Facebook friends with Ken Russell's widow, Lisi. She's mentioned today that the BFI will be issuing WOMEN IN LOVE this September.
