Peccadillo Pictures - Blu-ray Forum

CelestialAgent · 10-09-2020, 07:45 PM

Shocked this isn’t a thread already! Peccadillo is a UK distributor primarily focused on LGBT films, often with a focus on world cinema - although they cross over outside of LGBT cinema too - that’s existed for the past twenty years or so. Many of their releases are listed on Amazon and the database as Saffron Hill, but they’ve traded under several names including Petit Péche and Parasol Peccadillo. They have greater visibility than TLA Releasing (mostly DVD only, without cinema releases). Unfortunately their films are often small enough to end up only on DVD, but they’ve released many titles on Blu-ray and often do a great job. Plus their releases are often cheap and always slimline!

Some of their older releases are OOP unfortunately.

They also do the Boys on Films series of short films on DVD.

Some people may have a negative view of them for the transfer on Heavenly Creatures - but the half hour featurette Looking Back interviewing Kim Newman, Alan Jones and Rosie Fletcher is quite worthwhile.

Their Blu-ray release of Our Children is stacked, with an additional feature Private Madness and a short film, Avant les mots.

Their DVD releases of The Watermelon Woman is an improvement upon the barebones US release, including three very engaging short films by Cheryl Dunye, Greetings from Africa, The Potluck and the Passion & She Don't Fade.

Their DVD of I Got Life! features an interview with the director and Monsieur l’Abbe short film.

Taking a look at the Blu-ray of A White, White Day as it was only £9 to preorder - Peccadillo released it to virtual cinemas in July. It comes on a BD-50 in a slimline blue case, and starts with skippable trailers for Monsoon and And Then We Danced. The extras have a “play all” option.

Scenes from a Process - Making A White, White Day runs 45:47. This has some 4:3 production footage, rehearsals, still photos, even a curved widescreen frame - it’s quite artfully done, in English and Icelandic with subtitles.

A Conversation With Director Hylnur Pálmason - 16:18

UK Theatrical Trailer - 1:55

The disc also has a trailer gallery that is selectable or plays automatically after the menu is left idle, with trailers for Papicha, The Ciambara, The Treatment, Sócrates, Girls Lost, Embrace of the Serpent, Monsoon, And Then We Danced
