BFI APRIL TO JUNE 2025 LINEUP
Thursday 6th February 2025 - posted by James
The BFI announces today its home entertainment releases coming up in April, May and June 2025, with all titles available to pre-order now. Highlights of the second quarter of the year include 4K UHD editions of THRONE OF BLOOD and LA HAINE and on Blu-ray will be ECLIPSE – the 51st BFI Flipside title, and the classic 1975 feature film revealing the grittier side of the music biz – SLADE IN FLAME.
14 April: LA HAINE on UHD
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its sensational premiere at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, Mathieu Kassovitz's LA HAINE will be made available in a new 4K UHD edition. The release will include all the extras from the previously released BFI Blu-ray, as well as a re-print of the 80-page book that accompanied the 25th anniversary edition. The anniversary will also be marked with screenings at selected cinemas across the UK.

21 April: BROTHER and ECLIPSE on Blu-ray
Takeshi 'Beat' Kitano directs and stars in BROTHER (2000), a brutal crime thriller about a Japanese yakuza forced to flee to Los Angeles after the death of his boss. Marking the famed director's first and only English language feature, this is the first time the film has been released on Blu-ray in the UK.

Unsettling, strange, and barely seen since it was shot nearly forty years ago, ECLIPSE (1976) is the latest addition to the BFI Flipside collection. With writer and director Simon Perry's approval and involvement, the BFI is now making this unjustly neglected title available on Blu-ray disc for the first time worldwide, in a new scan made from the best-available 35mm materials. Tom Conti stars in a double role as twin brothers.

19 May: SLADE IN FLAME on Blu-ray/DVD and THRONE OF BLOOD on UHD and Blu-ray
Tom Conti also stars in the newly remastered SLADE IN FLAME. This stone-cold cult classic has been described as 'the Citizen Kane of British pop movies' by critic Mark Kermode and boasts a razor-sharp screenplay, superb performances by Noddy Holder and the boys and a power-packed foot-stomping soundtrack. Directed by Richard Loncraine (Richard III, Full Circle), the cast includes Alan Lake and Johnny Shannon (Performance).
SLADE IN FLAME dual format BFI Shop Link
Our recent run of Akira Kurosawa restorations continues with a 4K UHD set of THRONE OF BLOOD. Considered to be one of the greatest cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare, this truly remarkable film boasts legendary performances from Toshiro Mifune as the doomed warlord Washizu (based on Macbeth) and Isuzu Yamada as the Lady Macbeth-inspired Asaji. The film will also be available as a stand-alone Blu-ray edition.
