Never averse to shedding her clothes in pursuit of a good story, Emanuelle arrives in America with a mission to expose the sizzling inner secrets of the jet set at play. Armed with her striking features, unique sensual talents – and a hidden camera – she’s off, examining life as a love slave at a ranch run by a sadistic brothel master… investigating a bizarre spa for super rich, sexually frustrated women… exploring the kinky side of a straight laced Republican politician… and finally uncovering shocking evidence of an international snuff film conspiracy. Now for the first time ever on Blu-ray, this notorious and truly shocking film can be seen in all its high definition glory, totally uncut. Infamous director Joe d’Amato pulls out all the stops in this epic of sleaze and depravity. It’s Emanuelle… but as you’ve never seen her before. Special Features: - 4k transfer from film negative - English/Italian audio choice - Newly created English subtitles - Interview with writer David Flint - Full length documentary on Joe d’Amato - Audio commentary by Bruce Holecheck and Nathaniel Thompson - Mondo Macabro previews Mondo Macabro – https://mondomacabro.bigcartel.com/ “Emanuelle in America” Blu-Ray – https://mondomacabro.bigcartel.com/product/emanuelle-in-america-red-case-limited-edition "Slaughterhouse-Five" Blu-Ray (Arrow Video) First Time Special Edition Release of the Award Winning Sci-Fi Classic! BILLY PILGRIM LIVES - FROM TIME TO TIME TO TIME... Past, present and future collide in darkly satirical fashion in Slaughterhouse-Five! Based on Kurt Vonnegut's classic 1969 novel, this tale of time travel and alien abduction emerged as part of a wave of more cerebral science-fiction films in the late 60s to early 70s, elevating the genre beyond the B-movie fare of previous decades. Upstate New York, 1968. Mild-mannered Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks, The Sugarland Express) finds himself "unstuck in time". Traveling back and forth across the entire span of his existence, he experiences key events of his life in a random order, including his formative years, the firebombing of Dresden and finally, at some undefined point in the future, his surreal adventures on a distant planet. Praised by Vonnegut himself for its fidelity to his novel, Slaughterhouse-Five boasts assured direction by George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and a memorable score by renowned concert pianist Glenn Gould. Now exclusively restored in 4K, Slaughterhouse-Five shines like never before, reinforcing its timeless appeal.

Eschewing his usual American landscapes in favor of a variety of locations throughout urban and rural Spain, his 2009 anti-thriller The Limits of Control remains one of his most alluring and multi-layered creations. An enigmatic loner (Isaach de Bankolé, Black Panther, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai) arrives in Spain, instructed to make contact with a series of strangers in different locations throughout the country, each of whom provides a cryptic clue which propels him further towards his mysterious goal. But who is the Lone Man? Why is he here? And how does the recurring figure of an alluring femme fatale (Paz de la Huerta, Enter the Void) fit into the puzzle? Boasting stunning cinematography by the award-winning Christopher Doyle (In the Mood for Love) and featuring cameos from an array of celebrated character actors, including Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También) and the late John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), The Limits of Control is a languid, hauntingly beautiful film that combines the best of American and European arthouse sensibilities.
