Synopsis
A comprehensively immersive journey through the filmography of Lucile Hadžihalilović, “an artist of radical gentleness whose films each resemble a delicately poisoned fairy tale” (Le Monde). Originally known for her collaborations as editor and producer for longtime partner Gaspar Noé, writer/director Hadžihalilović’s own internationally acclaimed quartet of features craft poetically surreal tales where dreams and nightmares are layered in embraces of tenderness and terror.

“AN IMPECCABLE, CREEPY
AND GENUINELY TRANSPORTING MOVIE.”
The New York Times
Lucile Hadžihalilović’s second feature is minimalist body horror about a boy who uncovers a mysterious world of inhuman biology and haunting transformation. Julie-Marie Parmentier (MURDEROUS MAIDS, FAREWELL MY QUEEN) stars in the startling film that has been described as “a gynocentric nightmare” (Chicago Reader), “a singular, daring vision” (Arizona Republic) and “a wondrous dream constantly on the verge of a nightmare” (Indiewire). This disc provides deep technical insight with a discussion between Hadžihalilović and cinematographer Manu Dacosse, alongside an interview with co-writer Alanté Kavaïté.

Disc 3: EARWIG
“IT SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
TENDERNESS AND TERROR.”
The Ringer
THE NORTH AMERICAN BLU-RAY PREMIERE
The third feature and English-language debut by “the emergent champion of slow-burn, surrealist cinema” (The Guardian) is a Kafkaesque fable of fatherhood, isolation and teeth made of ice. Paul Hilton (LADY MACBETH), Romola Garai (SUFFRAGETTE) and Alex Lawther (THE IMITATION GAME) star in Lucile Hadžihalilović’s surreal neo-noir that The New York Times calls “a trip down the darkest of rabbit holes,” accompanied by what Sight & Sound hails as “enigmatic, oneiric visions that burrow their way into darker crevices of the viewer’s consciousness.” Adapted from the novel by Brian Catling (The Vorrh), EARWIG is deconstructed through Special Features that include interviews with the director, co-writer Geoff Cox and cinematographer Jonathan Ricquebourg.

Disc 4: THE ICE TOWER
“HADŽIHALILOVIĆ’S MOST ACCESSIBLE FILM TO DATE…
A hypnotic mediation of coruscating, crystalline beauty. This is
not so much a film you watch as one you wake up from, shivering.”
RogerEbert.com
Two decades after the stunning breakthrough of INNOCENCE, Marion Cotillard reunites with writer/director Lucile Hadžihalilović for her award-winning fourth feature, a meta-fantasy freely inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. Clara Pacini, August Diehl (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS) and Gaspar Noé co-star in this “mesmerizing and unnerving masterpiece in which reality, cinema, and fantasy become one of a kind” (Collider) from “a filmmaker with an uncompromising voice — one that continues to whisper strange, scary things into our ears” (The Hollywood Reporter). This final disc contains introspective content, including an interview by Beatrice Loayaza, two additional Q&As from the IFC Center, a second video essay by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and a technical interview with Jonathan Ricquebourg.
