[Editor’s Note: We’d previously reported that this was the Jodorowsky film based upon an error in the Amazon listing. It’s definitely the 1926 Fanck film, which stars Leni Riefenstahl. Adjust your plans accordingly.] They have Emir Kusturica’s Underground coming on Blu-ray and DVD on 2/20 too, including both the 170-minute feature film version and also the 327-minute/6-part TV version.

Street date appears to be 4/3 for all. [Editor’s Note: It’s worth noting that we believe the Bronson Collection marks the first time that Hard Times has been released on Blu-ray.]
