Shattered THERE IS NO EVIL has been relegated to DVD only like in the US!! It’s an amazing Iranian film that deserves a blu ray release. Was hoping the UK would deliver this but, alas......

There are two things you can never count on in the UK:

1. Being able to see a world cinema title in the cinema
2. Being able to own a world cinema title on Blu-ray

Invisible Life is only playing 15 screens in the entire country (I expect mostly London and “major cities”), so a BD was always a remote prospect. Even though the best presentation is surely better when the majority of the UK are unable to see it in the best way (in a cinema).

However the UK disc of Martin Eden is barebones (don’t know how often New Wave do extras, despite their Jonathan Romney interviews when they started), unlike the US release which features commentary and Virtual Q&A.

Looks like The Invisibe life of Euridice Gusmao will actually get a Blu-ray after all
