The Worlds of Lucile Hadžihalilović [4-Disc Blu-ray Box Set]

“ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE, ENCHANTINGLY SINISTER BODIES OF WORK IN MODERN FILM.”
British Film Institute

4 DISC COLLECTION
WITH 4+ COMBINED HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES AND 60-PAGE COMPANION BOOK

THE WORLDS OF LUCILE HADŽIHALILOVIĆ presents a comprehensively immersive journey through the filmography of Lucile Hadžihalilović, “an artist of radical gentleness whose films each resemble a delicately poisoned fairy tale” (Le Monde). Originally known for her collaborations as editor and producer for longtime partner Gaspar Noé, writer/director Hadžihalilović’s own internationally acclaimed quartet of features craft poetically surreal tales where dreams and nightmares are layered in embraces of tenderness and terror. Two of the four films in this collection are North American Blu-ray Premieres and include over 4 combined hours of fascinating Special Features plus a 60-page companion book featuring all-new essays by Saffron Maeve, Alison Taylor and Stephen Thrower.

Disc 1: INNOCENCE

“BEAUTIFUL AND PROVOCATIVE…
A mesmerizing work that is at once eerie and beautiful, a film that often seems like PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK as directed by David Lynch.”
Reeling Reviews 

THE NORTH AMERICAN BLU-RAY PREMIERE

Lucile Hadžihalilović’s breakthrough debut is a dreamlike descent into a secluded boarding school where nostalgia and dread intertwine for “a surreal and unexpectedly euphoric” (Sight & Sound) examination of young sisterhood. César, BAFTA and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard stars in this “haunting and hypnotic fairy tale” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) that Indiewire hails as “at once a feminist parable and bedtime story that unfolds like a crouching animal, waiting to pounce.” INNOCENCE is accompanied by two of Hadžihalilović’s acclaimed shorts, DE NATURA and NECTAR, both featuring personal introductions. Viewers can further explore this world through "Innocence Explained" by young actress Zoé Auclair, a scholarly video essay by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and a Q&A recorded at the IFC Center In October 2025.

• Introduction By Lucile Hadžihalilović

Disc 2: EVOLUTION

“AN IMPECCABLE, CREEPY 
AND GENUINELY TRANSPORTING MOVIE.”
The New York Times

Lucile Hadžihalilović’s second feature is minimalist body horror about a boy who uncovers a mysterious world of inhuman biology and haunting transformation. Julie-Marie Parmentier (MURDEROUS MAIDS, FAREWELL MY QUEEN) stars in the startling film that has been described as “a gynocentric nightmare” (Chicago Reader), “a singular, daring vision” (Arizona Republic) and “a wondrous dream constantly on the verge of a nightmare” (Indiewire). This disc provides deep technical insight with a discussion between Hadžihalilović and cinematographer Manu Dacosse, alongside an interview with co-writer Alanté Kavaïté.

Disc 3: EARWIG

“IT SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
TENDERNESS AND TERROR.”
The Ringer

THE NORTH AMERICAN BLU-RAY PREMIERE

The third feature and English-language debut by “the emergent champion of slow-burn, surrealist cinema” (The Guardian) is a Kafkaesque fable of fatherhood, isolation and teeth made of ice. Paul Hilton (LADY MACBETH), Romola Garai (SUFFRAGETTE) and Alex Lawther (THE IMITATION GAME) star in Lucile Hadžihalilović’s surreal neo-noir that The New York Times calls “a trip down the darkest of rabbit holes,”  accompanied by what Sight & Sound hails as “enigmatic, oneiric visions that burrow their way into darker crevices of the viewer’s consciousness.” Adapted from the novel by Brian Catling (The Vorrh), EARWIG is deconstructed through Special Features that include interviews with the director, co-writer Geoff Cox and cinematographer Jonathan Ricquebourg.

• Introduction By Lucile Hadžihalilović

Disc 4: THE ICE TOWER

“HADŽIHALILOVIĆ’S MOST ACCESSIBLE FILM TO DATE…
A hypnotic mediation of coruscating, crystalline beauty. This is
not so much a film you watch as one you wake up from, shivering.”
RogerEbert.com

Two decades after the stunning breakthrough of INNOCENCE, Marion Cotillard reunites with writer/director Lucile Hadžihalilović for her award-winning fourth feature, a meta-fantasy freely inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. Clara Pacini, August Diehl (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS) and Gaspar Noé co-star in this “mesmerizing and unnerving masterpiece in which reality, cinema, and fantasy become one of a kind” (Collider) from “a filmmaker with an uncompromising voice — one that continues to whisper strange, scary things into our ears” (The Hollywood Reporter). This final disc contains introspective content, including an interview by Beatrice Loayaza, two additional Q&As from the IFC Center, a second video essay by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and a technical interview with Jonathan Ricquebourg.

Sangster Directs Hammer [7-Disc Box Set: (3) 4K UHD + (4) Blu-ray + Book]

THE NORTH AMERICAN UHD PREMIERES
OF 3 CLASSIC FILMS ON 7 DISCS
WITH AN ALL-NEW 312-PAGE BOOK 
AND 19 COMBINED HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

With screenplays for such ‘50s/’60s Hammer Films classics as THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HORROR OF DRACULA, THE MUMMY and more, he became one of the very best writers in the genre. But when Jimmy Sangster returned to Hammer in the ‘70s to direct the only feature films of his career, he delivered three of the most unique shockers in the studio’s history: In THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN starring Ralph Bates as the sociopathic monster maker, Sangster brings both black humor and deep red dismemberment to Mary Shelley’s iconic tale. Sangster takes fanged lesbian desires to seductive new levels with LUST FOR A VAMPIRE, featuring Yutte Stensgaard as the titular bloodsucker. Judy Geeson, Ralph Bates, Joan Collins and the legendary Peter Cushing star in Sangster’s acclaimed FEAR IN THE NIGHT, a taut psycho-thriller with a dark giallo edge. Each film is presented in UHD for the first time ever in North America, now scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives by StudioCanal. This collection also includes the 312-page book Horror! Lust! Fear! Sangster featuring essays, interviews, comic adaptations and more, plus 19 combined hours of comprehensive new & archival Special Features produced and curated by Severin Films.
