Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)

As well as booklets included in limited and deluxe editions, Arrow Films also release books usually written by the authors of the booklets.

This month in books, we have all eight of the titles that our good friends at Arrow Video have released. For the uninitiated, Arrow Video have been releasing the ultimate home video editions of some of our favorite films for many years now. More recently, they decided to put their extraordinary talents to use creating beautiful and incredibly informative books about films and filmmakers that have been largely ignored by mainstream film studies.

They are:

• Unchained Melody: The Films of Meiko Kaji by Tom Mes
• Ghost in the Shell by Andrew Osmond
• The Hitcher by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
• The Blair Witch Project by Russ Gomm
• All the Colours of Sergio Martino by Kat Ellinger
• The Man Who Fell To Earth: Novel to Film by Samuel J. Umland
• Philip K. Dick On Film by Gregg Rickman
• Father, Son, Sword: The Lone Wolf and Cub Saga by Tom Mes

I'll do a more general Books on Films post at some point.
