‘Feel The Heat’ At ARROW In August

Jackie Chan, shocking gore and and deadly lovers, in August at ARROW you will ‘Feel The Heat’!

Next month will include a superb seventies freewheeling crime drama, a powerful money markets thriller, epic Chinese action, Paul Joyce documentaries , The Video Archives Podcast host and filmmaker Roger Avary Selects, and much more…

The new month starts with  outstanding pop fantasy Red Sun, The film is focused on the post-’68 and women’s liberation movements. This is a beautiful art-genre collision that is both brilliantly bizarre and provocative. Director Rudolf Thome was an emerging talent in the New German Cinema alongside Wenders, Fassbinder and Herzog, but received little international distribution and fell into obscurity despite a consistent career covering six decades. Now’s your chance to reappraise Thome and this hidden gem.

Also showing in August, a gripping neo-noir mystery Human Capital, where a web of greed, lust and lies threatens to bring about the financial and moral bankruptcy of two Italian families. Set against the backdrop of the mounting global financial crisis, writer-director Paolo Virzì adapts Stephen Amidon’s 2004 novel Human Capital, switching the book’s affluent Connecticut enclaves for the more moody surrounds of northern Italy, tracing the financial and emotional entanglement of two families. Taut, timely and engrossing, it puts pay to Gordon Gekko’s mantra that ‘greed it good’.

And this August, Reece Shearsmith Selects, as the award winning actor, writer, comedian (The League of Gentlemen, Psychoville, Inside No.9) chooses his favourite ARROW film releases, and his eclectic and exquisite choices include Argento’s Deep Red, Romero’s The Crazies, and Yuzna’s body horror classic Society.

As if that wasn’t enough, August also sees Roger Avary Selects, with the Academy Award-winning filmmaker (Pulp Fiction, Killing Zoe), from The Video Archives Podcast choosing some unmissable picks from the ARROW catalogue.
