Pharoah (Faraon) (12) |Home Ents Review
 This stately and austere Ancient Egyptian political thriller is absolutely unique and riveting to watch. It is, in fact, a sort of anti-epic, which refrains from using many of the engaging if excessive elements of Biblical/Ancient Egyptian epic cinema.

A Bittersweet Life (18) |Home Ents Review
 Looking pretty much like a classic of the gangster genre, this violent and visually stunning Korean film has not aged a bit. It has been restored for the 4K UHD market and is well worth watching.

The Double Crossers (15) |Home Ents Review
 Half martial arts action thriller, half east Asian travelogue, The Double Crossers is a lot of fun, although you may well want to file it under ‘so bad, it’s good’.

A Dry White Season (15) |Home Ents Review
 The first major Hollywood produced film directed by a Black woman gets the high-definition Blu-ray treatment for the first time in the UK. It is an exceptional and nuanced piece of work that is well worth watching.

The Valiant Red Peony (15) |Home Ents Review
 The first three films in a Japanese yakuza film series that has a unique difference: the protagonist is a woman. The first 2 films are a bit staid in their direction, but they set you up for the technical whizzbang of the third film.
