Another batch of Radiance Films and this time focused primarily on their French catalogue of titles that were released this year, two of these are also relatively new releases.
The first is In My Skin (Dans ma peau), Marina de Van's 2002 film which is part of the New French Extremity movement, and also presented in 4K Ultra HD. The film stars the director in the role as well, and the premise sounded intriguing so I wanted to check it out.
Next we have another film that had my curiosity and was released a few months ago, which was Rosa la rose, fille publique, Paul Vecchiali's 1985 film starring Marianne Basler (Midnight in Paris) and Jean Sorel (The Day of the Jackal). These two are presented in Radiance Film's limited edition packaging with scanavo case, reversible sleeves and a booklet.
And to wrap up World Noir Volume 4 was pretty quick to be released which I heard was due to delays with a World Neo-Noir box set of sorts, and this set focuses entirely on French films restored by Gaumont inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood - Henri Decoin's 1955 film Chnouf (Razzia sur la chnouf), Édouard Molinaro's 1958 film Back to the Wall (Le Dos au mur) and Marcel Bluwal's 1962 film Paris Pick-Up (Le Monte-charge).
