    There are a number of tax shelter thrillers that would be worthwhile to dig up, The Disapearance with Sutherland, Hemmings and John Hurt seems to have been forgotten but is a morose gem.

      They're releasing The Other French New Wave Vol. 1 later this month.

      https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collecti...ional-pictures

      Three trailblazing classics from the dawn of Quebec’s cinematic revolution.

      THE CAT IN THE BAG - On the cusp of adulthood, Claude loses faith in society and commits to a state of revolt, which strains his relationship with Barbara and leads him on a path to isolation. Featuring an original score by jazz legend John Coltrane, Gilles Groulx’s experiment in “spontaneous cinema” is a timeless exploration of youthful disillusionment that brought new audacity to Quebec cinema.

      THE MERRY WORLD OF LEOPOLD Z - On Christmas Eve, snowplow driver Leo (Once Upon a Hunt’s Guy L'Ecuyer) races to clear the streets of Montreal and complete his holiday shopping in time for midnight mass. The feature directorial debut of celebrated filmmaker Gilles Carle, The Merry World of Leopold Z is an offbeat holiday treat that builds to a disarmingly resonant conclusion.

      YUL 871 - During a weekend visit to Montreal, a Parisian engineer (The Bride Wore Black’s Charles Denner) has a romantic fling, befriends a young girl, and rethinks his war-fractured past while navigating an unfamiliar new world. An early breakthrough for prolific auteur Jacques Godbout (The Mob), YUL 871 is an artfully directed, deceptively breezy convergence of cultures.

      starring: Barbara Ulrich, Claude Godbout, Guy L'Ecuyer, Paul Hébert, Charles Denner

        Seeing the Alliance Atlantis logo on the start of the trailer there gave me PTSD flashbacks to my time in film distribution. AA was so cheap and the company I worked for was so spineless that AA wouldn't get prints struck with their logos on them at the lab, and we'd have to splice out the US distributor logos and splice in the AA logo footage, and AA made us cut the logos off old pirnts being pulled from circulation and destroyed to splice them onto the prints of new movies. If you ever went to the theatre and saw a movie distributed by AA and the logo was beat to shit, scratchy and had major audio pops and hiss, it was because it was probably used for four or five movies before that print came through distribution!

          This is coming from Gold Ninja, but I don't know if it rules out a higher-profile release. https://rockshockpop.com/forum/movie...rom-gold-ninja

                    Coltrane's recordings for this soundtrack were issued by Impulse a couple of years back, as an LP named 'Blue World'.

                    I'd note that it's excellent, but, I mean - it's Trane's classic quartet playing at their peak, so it's not like it's gonna be crap, is it? Beautiful stuff, as always.

                    It's really nice to see the film the music was recorded for re-appearing, kind of squaring the circle, or whatever.

                        Looks good although I never heard of it, an early Findlay script and that cast sounds promising.

                                Boy, mixed feelings there. A documentary I want in my collection, but it is from a label that's going to make it an expensive pain in the ass to get my hands on. Yay.
