POV: It’s December 4th. You know what that means. It’s my birthday and you’re invited to my party! We’ve already been out to Finney’s Crafthouse for dinner and enjoyed cauliflower tacos and a Bavarian pretzel. Don’t forget the sweet potato fries! I’ve blown out 28 candles, plus one for good luck, and made my wish. Oh, you want to know what I wished for? It’s bad luck to share so I’m keeping it to myself. Now that dinner’s over, it’s time for gifts — but wait! Just because it’s my birthday doesn’t mean you don’t get something too. Come on, unwrap it. It’s just what you wanted: 20 new ARROW Selects hand-picked by myself. Which one are you going to watch first?
Titles include (not available in all territories): Bloody Birthday, Lady Morgan’s Vengeance, The Initiation.
On December 15, dig into a cinematic holiday feast with No Sense and No Money: The Seijun Suzuki Collection (UK/IRE/US/CAN).
“I make movies that make no sense and no money”, Seijun Suzuki said of his own work, but what fun is ‘sense’ compared to surreal, unforgettable and influential Yakuza movies?
Although unappreciated at the time, especially by Nikkatsu, the studio that fired him after calling his masterpiece Branded To Kill “nonsense”, Suzuki left behind a legacy of work unlike any other. His films made indelible impressions on filmmakers such as Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino and ARROW are proud to present a curated Season in No Sense and No Money: The Seijun Suzuki Collection.
Titles Include: Eight Hours of Terror, The Boy Who Came Back, The Sleeping Beast Within.
Also on December 15, subscribers in every territory can enjoy a quartet of quests for revenge.
I Want Him Dead (UK/IRE/US/CAN): After his sister is kidnapped and murdered, a gunslinger’s plans for vengeance involve assassinating two generals to prolong the Civil War.
The Four of the Apocalypse (UK/IRE/US/CAN): Four petty criminals, three men and a woman, wander through the trackless terrain of the Wild West Utah and are hounded by a sadistic bandit.
El Puro (UK/IRE/US/CAN): An alcoholic gunman, hunted down by five pitiless bounty hunters, is sheltered by a saloon dancer. When his enemies kill the girl the outlaw pulls himself together and faces his adversaries and takes his revenge in a final showdown. An interesting take on the reluctant gunfighter theme contains some truly surprising twists.
Wrath of the Wind (UK/IRE/US/CAN): This western is set in Valencia, Spain at the end of the 19th century, and stars Terence Hill as a close-mouthed gunslinger. The bad guy is the local landlord and aristocrat, who horribly abuses the laborers in his community.
On December 18, for ARROW’s final Season of 2023, dive into the demented mind that brought A Wounded Fawn and Jakob’s Wife to audiences.
Travis Stevens Selects (UK/IRE/US/CAN): The producer of Cheap Thrills, Jodorowsky’s Dune, We Are Still Here, Buster’s Mal Heart and more, shared: “It was a pleasure diving into the ARROW catalogue to pull together a selection of international films that cover everything from sex & violence, to haunted relationships, to tactile science fiction, to alt vampires, to how the hell did that movie ever get made? Basically, everything that makes cinema great, now streaming only on ARROW.”
Titles Include: No, The Case Is Happy Resolved, Inferno of Torture, Shock.
