For those who did not leap into a purchase of Eureka's superb box set of Louis Feuillade's remarkable silent crime serials (FANTOMAS, JUDEX, TIH-MIHN and LES VAMPIRES), there is good news. While the box set is out of print and has become quite pricy, Eureka is bringing out separate blu-ray sets for each serial on March 17th. For more info on each, use the links: https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/les-vampires/ https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/judex/ https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/fantomas/ https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/tih-minh/ An essential precursor to crime/noir with clear ties to Fritz Lang and the expressionist school of film noir, as well as a cinematic "gateway drug" to surrealism.
