Max Ophüls’ Lola Montès, restored to its original length and full-color glory, is a fine spectacle of filmmaking to behold in this superb transfer of the 2008 restoration.

![Utawarerumono (The One Being Sung) [JP Release] Blu-ray Box Review](http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Utawarerumono-thumb.jpg)
This anime may have started its life as an RPG, but over the course of its 26-episodes, it moves well beyond any game and into the realm of serious drama. The 1080i MPEG-2 encoding may have some flaws, but it is still a solid effort.
She’s blind, she’s beautiful and she’s deadly with a blade. Her name is Ichi and she kills in 1080p on Blu-ray from Funimation.

Don’t go into A Christmas Tale expecting a touchy-feely holiday film. This is raw, emotional drama that only takes Christmastime as its vague backdrop and it has been artfully transferred to Blu-ray by Criterion.

The price of Hollywood, the price of being a god, the dissolution of love — it’s Godard’s most traditional narrative, but “traditional” doesn’t mean banal when it comes to Godard, the complex emotional and symbolic layers of Le Mépris and its leading actress Brigitte Bardot.
![Belle de Jour [UK Release] Blu-ray Review](http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/belledejourthumb.jpg)
