State of Grace 4K UHD from Imprint Films

State of Grace (1990)

Phil Joanou’s neo-noir crime thriller State Of Grace comes to 4K UHD for the first time worldwide, fully restored from the original 35mm negative.

Featuring an all-star cast of 90s icons, including Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, John Turturro, and John C. Reilly, director Phil Joanou has personally overseen this 4K restoration and grading, giving the project his seal of approval.

Hell’s Kitchen is a tough New York City neighbourhood on Manhattan’s Westside. Renowned for its brawling, hard-drinking Irish residents, this traditionally ethnocentric and fiercely loyal community is now threatened by the Italian mafia, outside developers, and a ruthless new generation of Irish gangsters. When Terry returns to the neighbourhood after a 10-year absence, he gets involved with mad childhood friend Jackie (Gary Oldman), Jackie’s gang leader-brother (Ed Harris), and rekindles his love affair with Jackie’s sister Kathleen (Robin Wright). Complicating matters: Terry’s secret mission.

Written by playwright Dennis McIntyre, composer Ennio Morricone provided an original music score for the film, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio has cited Gary Oldman’s performance in this film as one of his inspirations, noting that it “influenced an entire generation of actors”.

After Dark: Neo-Noir Cinema – Collection Four (1990 – 1997)

Take another walk After Dark with six more seedy films from the grimy underbelly of cinema:

Wild At Heart (1990) – Imprint Collection #568

David Lynch’s quintessential, surreal road movie Wild at Heart stars Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe, Diane Ladd, and Harry Dean Stanton.

Young lovers Sailor and Lula hit the road to start a new life together away from the wrath of Lula’s deranged, disapproving mother, who has hired a team of hitmen to cut the lovers’ surreal honeymoon short.

The winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, and an Academy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress to Diane Ladd, Wild At Heart is a keystone of Lynch’s filmography, and a defining entry in the gamut of 90s neo-noir thrillers.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

Unlawful Entry (1992) – Imprint Collection #569

Worldwide first on 4K UHD!

Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta, and Madeleine Stowe star in Unlawful Entry, a gritty mystery thriller directed by Jonathan Kaplan(The Accused).

Happily married, Michael and Karen Carr call the police after Karen is held at knife point during a failed robbery attempt in their home. Taking extra interest in the couple’s case, the responding officer, Pete Davis, helps arrange the installation of a new security system. The grateful Carrs invite him to stay for dinner andstrike up an unexpected friendship. However, as the lonely policeman develops an intense fixation on Karen, his take on friendship soon develops into a dangerous obsession and becomes the Carrs’ worst nightmare.

Landing on 4K UHD for the first time worldwide, the film was praised on release by critics, awarded three out of four stars by Roger Ebert, and described as “a very effective victimisation thriller” by Variety.

Legendary director Roger Donaldson (Cocktail, Dante’s Peak, Species) assembled a powerful assortment of stars for this classic neo-noir thriller, including Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger, Michael Madsen, James Woods, Jennifer Tilly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

With a script by Walter Hill and Amy Holden Jones (Indecent Proposal), The Getaway is an action-packed, pulse-pounding tale of criminal punts and violent double crossing.

In 1950s Los Angeles, a special crime squad of the LAPD investigates the murder of a young woman.

Adored by critics on release, Roger Ebert described the film as “the kind of movie where every note is put in lovingly. It’s a 1950s crime movie, but with a modern, ironic edge”, giving it three and a half out of four stars.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

Freeway (1996) – Imprint Collection #572

Kiefer Sutherland, Reese Witherspoon, and Brooke Shields star in Freeway, a darkly comic neo-noir and bloody modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.
