14 July: WOMEN IN LOVE on UHD
Ken Russell’s legendary adaptation of DH Lawrence’s Women in Love (1969), starring the late Glenda Jackson in an Academy Award-winning performance, is released on 4K UHD (a BFI National Archive digital restoration) for the first time anywhere in the world. Ground-breaking, with opulent design, handsome cinematography and its famous erotically charged nude wrestling scene, Women In Love also stars Alan Bates, Oliver Reed and Jennie Linden.
14 July: BHAJI ON THE BEACH on Blu-ray
Gurinder Chadha’s debut film Bhaji On The Beach (1993) is a charming and critically acclaimed comedy drama about a group of British Asian women from Birmingham who bond during a day trip to Blackpool. Written by Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me, The Kumars) it was the first major feature film to be directed by a British Asian woman. Gurinder Chadha’s following films have included the hits Bend It Like Beckham and Blinded by the Light.
21 July: HUMAN TRAFFIC on UHD and Blu-ray
Newly remastered in 4K, Human Traffic, the huge cult classic from 1999 with a dance music soundtrack arranged by Pete Tong, and including tracks by Fatboy Slim, Brainbug and Orbital, comes to UHD and Blu-ray. Directed by Justin Kerrigan, Danny Dyer (EastEnders, The Football Factory) is seen in his first film role, playing Moff; the film also stars John Simm (Life on Mars, Doctor Who) as Jip, Lorraine Pilkington (Monarch of the Glen) as Lulu, Shaun Parkes (The Mummy Returns, Small Axe: Mangrove) as Koop and Nicola Reynolds (The Machine, Ideal) as Nina.
