Divine Love (18) |Home Ents Review – close-upfilm
Faith and sexuality face off with surveillance technology and conservative politics in this masterclass in woozy, near-future, dystopian world-building.
"Utterly visually absorbing [...] This is a beautiful, thought-provoking and unique, 21st century take on the nativity story – one that highlights the political dimensions of the anomalous" DIVINE LOVE reviewed at Close-Up Film - out on Monday!

Ishanou (1990) out now on second run blu-ray
The one thing above all else that we adore about Second Run is the ability to discover a new (or lost) voice, and today we present their release of Ishanou.
"Enigmatic yet deeply impactful... Driven by a truly fantastic lead performance […] If ISHANOU is in conversation with any classic of Indian cinema, it’s Satyajit Ray’s Devi, another surprisingly neorealist film about the mysteries of faith" @thegeekshow.bsky.social thegeekshow.co.uk/ishanou-1990/

Honestly @secondrun.bsky.social never miss. Really loved taking a break from moving stress to watch Juraj Herz's decadent period piece. Incase you missed the wave of reviews on release, it's not too late to grab a copy of this striking film.

"Less flamboyant and outwardly more conventional than Juraj Herz’s best-known work, this period drama has plenty to offer [...] Second Run’s disc is the most impressive looking Juraj Herz Blu-ray to date"@marbleicehook.bsky.social on OIL LAMPS in Sight and Sound www.secondrundvd.com/images/pdf/o...

My contributor copies of ISHANOU arrived today. My
@secondrun.bsky.social debut. Delighted I was able to write for this home video Blu-ray release of a brilliantly understated gem from Manipur, India.

Golem – Freq
"A great little movie that deserves a place in the canon of high-concept science fiction. [...] It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s disturbing and frightening… it’s all the food groups, really. Massive recommendation"
