Release Dates: 20/21 November Troubled youth Ron Decker (Edward Furlong, American History X) is sentenced to a ten-year stint in the notorious San Quentin State Prison for a drug-dealing conviction. Inexperienced in the ways of prison life, he’s taken under the wing of Earl Copen (Willem Dafoe, To Live and Die in LA), an experienced con with the entire prison in the palm of his hand – inmates and guards alike. But as Ron grows increasingly cocky in his privileged role as Earl’s confidant, is he in danger of biting off more than he can chew with some of the jail’s more volatile inhabitants? Based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Eddie Bunker (Reservoir Dogs), Animal Factory was Steve Buscemi (Lonesome Jim, Interview)’s second stint in the director’s chair and sees him marshaling a formidable ensemble cast, including Bunker, Danny Trejo (Machete) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), for a powerful and sincere account of the men caught up in the penal system and the deals they cut with each other, and themselves, in order to survive.

NEW UK/US TITLE: Pulp (Blu-ray and DVD releases) Mike Hodges, Michael Klinger and Michael Caine reunit for another crime picture, albeit with a more oddball flavour… Pre-order your copy on Blu-ray via Arrow: http://bit.ly/2xb5i0N Pre-order your copy on DVD via Arrow: http://bit.ly/2xbbPbQ North American pre-order links should be live soon! Release Dates: 6/7 November A year after they’d created one of the defining British gangster pictures with Get Carter, three Michaels – writer-director Mike Hodges, producer Michael Klinger and star Michael Caine – reunited for another crime picture, albeit with a more oddball flavour… Caine plays Mickey King, a successful pulp novelist responsible for such titles as My Gun Is Long and The Organ Grinder, who is invited to ghost-write the autobiography of a mystery celebrity. His client turns out to be a former actor, played by Mickey Rooney, well-known for his gangster roles and real-life gangster connections – but death is around the corner, and King finds his commission to be a lot more complicated than he first imagined. A favourite of J.B. Ballard, Pulp has long existed in the shadow of its predecessor. Tonally, it could not be more different – Get Carter never had the time for sight gags and one-liners – but it’s a real gem in its own right and fully deserving of a wider audience. This brand-new restoration from Arrow Films aims to right than wrong. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS: • Brand new 2K restoration from original film elements, supervised and approved by director of photography Ousama Rawi, produced by Arrow Films exclusively for this release • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation • Original 1.0 mono sound • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing • Brand-new interview with writer-director Mike Hodges • Brand-new interview with director of photography Ousama Rawi • Brand-new interview with assistant director John Glen • Brand-new interview with Tony Klinger, son of producer Michael Klinger • Original theatrical trailer • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Nathanael Marsh FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Collector’s booklet containing new writing by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas DVD SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS: • Brand new 2K restoration from original film elements, supervised and approved by director of photography Ousama Rawi, produced by Arrow Films exclusively for this release • Standard Definition DVD presentation • Original 1.0 mono sound • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing • Brand-new interview with writer-director Mike Hodges • Brand-new interview with director of photography Ousama Rawi • Brand-new interview with assistant director John Glen • Brand-new interview with Tony Klinger, son of producer Michael Klinger • Original theatrical trailer • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Nathanael Marsh |

Vol. 1 – Seijun Rising: The Youth Movies (Dual Format Blu-ray & DVD) LIMITED EDITION Making their home-video debuts outside Japan, this diverse selection of Nikkatsu youth movies chart the evolving style of Suzuki Pre-order in the UK via Arrow: http://bit.ly/2xb4XLw North American pre-order links should be live soon! Release Dates: 27/28 November YOUTHS ON THE LOOSE AND REBELS WITHOUT CAUSES IN THE UNRULY SEISHUN EIGA YOUTH MOVIES OF JAPANESE ICONOCLAST SEIJUN SUZUKI Making their home-video debuts outside Japan, this diverse selection of Nikkatsu youth movies (seishun eiga) charts the evolving style of the B-movie maverick best known for the cult classics Tokyo Drifter (1966) and Branded to Kill (1967). The Boy Who Came Back (1958) marks the first appearances of “Nikkatsu Diamond Guys” and regular Suzuki collaborators Akira Kobayashi and Jo Shishido, with Kobayashi cast as the hot-headed hoodlum fresh out of reform school who struggles to make a clean break with his tearaway past. The Wind-of-Youth Group Crosses the Mountain Pass (1961) is a carnivalesque tale of a young student who hooks up with a down-at-heels travelling circus troupe. Teenage Yakuza (1962) stars Tamio Kawaji as the high-school vigilante protecting his community from the extortions of mobsters from a neighbouring city. The Incorrigible (1963) and Born Under Crossed Stars (1965), both based on Toko Kon’s novels about young love, represent Suzuki’s first films set in the 1920s era later celebrated in his critically-regarded Taisho Trilogy. LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS: • Limited Edition Dual Format Collection [3000 copies] • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation • Optional English Subtitles • New introduction to the films by critic Tony Rayns • 60-page illustrated collector's book featuring new writing by critic and author Jasper Sharp |
