Orson Welles's last completed fictional film made its debut on French television. It tells the story of a physically ailing Macau merchant (played by Welles himself) who decides to recreate an old sailors' story in his home by hiring two participants (played by Jeanne Moreau and Norman Eshley).

Although too short and slight to be considered a Welles masterpiece, The Immortal Story has a fragile, precious and slightly unreal mood about it that perfectly befits the inherent romance of passed-down mythology. The dialogue is hauntingly poetic and the visuals are filled with soft details such as evening light, candles, flowers and silk gauze.

Cinema doesn't get much more extreme than this hyperkinetic, ultraviolent piece of Japanese punk filmmaking, courtesy of Shinya Tsukamoto (who stars, writes, directs, produces, cinematographs, edits and art directs!).

An urban brutalist ménage à trois mixed up with gruesome boxing and bodily modification, Tokyo Fist is an ugly and disturbing affair that also contains moments of disarming beauty.
