Cinema On A Shelf
Label Discovery - Radiance

The newest entry into the on-going Label Discovery series finds Matt taking his first steps into one of the most talked about boutique physical media labels in recent year, Radiance Films. While not necessarily a label that has made big splashes in terms of "high profile" film releases, Radiance has established their place in many collector's hearts for their quality and curation of lesser-seen films.
After talking about a brief history of Radiance and what they are all about in terms of what they release, Matt checks out three releases that seem emblematic of the style, genres, and eras that they often include films from. He gets to discover the returning film from a legendary Japanese iconoclastic director, an action-packed late-60s yakuza film-turned character study, and a box set of three Italian films that examine the corruption of the mafia in society, government, the law, and everything in between. Does Radiance live up to the considerable hype?
