From the Agatha Christie collection to 'Elisa', the Blu-rays to give at Christmas

Profondo rosso

Having returned to the cinema, Walter Hill's cult film is also perfect for high-adrenaline home viewing, thanks to the music and choreography of a film that for many is among the most significant titles of the 1970s. The many fans of this film will certainly be thrilled to find it among their Christmas presents.

I guerrieri della notte

This title could refer to two different films: James Gunn's recent blockbuster, but also the famous 1978 chapter starring Christopher Reeve and directed by Richard Donner. Both were released on 4K Blu-ray and the pairing could be a gift that would satisfy vintage palates and those who love contemporary superhero cinema.

Superman

Among the most interesting films of this season, 'Warfare' had a cinema release during the summer and maybe someone had missed it. This is then the right opportunity to make up for it with a Christmas present, in its 4K Blu-ray version, capable of capturing the full power of this disturbing war film, almost all set within the walls of an old house.

The year 2025 was a very important year for horror cinema and, again among the summer releases, many focused on analysing 'Weapons', a film that starts with an undoubtedly disturbing antecedent: during a seemingly ordinary night, seventeen of the eighteen pupils in teacher Justine Gandy's class leave their homes running in an unusual way, without any apparent destination and without any compulsion, and disappear into thin air. It is only the beginning of a journey that also deserves a home viewing.

Weapons

For those instead in search of a more committed film, we recommend the home video release of "My Persian Garden", an Iranian feature film endowed with a delicate touch but also capable of making us reflect on extremely complex themes: from the condition of women to that of old age in a country where freedom seems to be more a life goal than a right. A great little film, capable of shaking without ever shouting.

Il mio giardino persiano

Among the new releases on home video, we also highlight an Italian film this season: the intense 'Elisa' by Leonardo Di Costanzo. Set in a curious prison in the middle of a forest, the film is about a woman who has committed a terrifying act in the past and an expert who will try to understand the reasons for that act. Barbara Ronchi is extraordinary, starring in one of the most important performances of the year.
