Cuba - Drama - Gay. Hailed as one of - if not the most - sophisticated films ever to come out of Cuba, Memories of Underdevelopment (Memorias Del Subdesarollo) is visionary Cuban director Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's tour de force. Listed at #54 on Derek Malcolm's 100 Greatest Movies, this cinematic masterpiece has been fully restored using the original camera and sound negative by Cineteca di Bologna with a vintage duplicate provided by the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematograficos. Even though director Tomás Gutiérrez Alea was a staunch and devoted supporter of the revolution, Memories of Underdevelopment offers a raw and uncompromising analysis of the newly formed system of government. Through a moving blend of narrative fiction, still photography and rare documentary footage, Alea catalogues the intricacies of the early days of the Castro regime; producing a stirring and enigmatic work that feeds off the culture of the very subject it is studying: Cuba.

Drama - Latin - Psychedelic - Thriller. Alejandro Jodorowsky’s inimitable style is on full display in Santa Sangre. The director of cult classics like El Topo creates a disturbing blend of horror and melodrama. Accompanied with this release are deleted scenes with comments from Jodorowsky and two short documentaries – The Jodorowsky Connection and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Cult Cinema.
