New Releases for May 26 2026

NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE (2025)

When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008. An off-the-rails odyssey about the complexities of male friendship, the perils of fame, and the gem that is Toronto. (DVD and BLU-RAY)

LENNY (1974) (Criterion Collection) 

Director Bob Fosse’s nervy, freewheeling showbiz drama tells the real-life story of taboo-shattering comedian Lenny Bruce, the counterculture prophet whose unfiltered style opened up new frontiers in self-expression. Dustin Hoffman brings a live-wire intensity to his portrayal of the motormouthed Bruce as he goes from small-time strip-club emcee to free-speech lightning rod, while Valerie Perrine lends the film its soul with her deeply affecting performance as his wife, Honey, an innocent lost on the dark side of bohemia. A complex portrayal of one iconoclast by another, Fosse’s film makes deft use of stark monochrome photography and kinetic editing to vividly capture Bruce’s smoky, seedy backstage world. (BLU-RAY + 4K)

A BODY TO LIVE IN (2025) 

A BODY TO LIVE IN offers an uncompromising look at the rise of BDSM performance art, body modification and the 'modern primitives' cultural movement through the agonies and ecstasies of transgressive artist Fakir Musafar and the communities that surrounded him. Blending rare archival footage with the voices of queer and artistic trailblazers, the film shows how pain, ritual, and transformation became tools of identity, survival, and self-expression. Weaving from early experiments and secret gatherings to the emergence of a global subculture shaped by the AIDS crisis and spiritual reinvention, Director Angelo Madsen (NORTH BY CURRENT) reveals not just the story of one artist, but a collective history of bodies in revolt - asking what it truly means to live freely in one's own skin.(DVD and BLU-RAY)

I LOVE MARIA (1988)  

The Hero Gang, a nasty group of thugs, are terrorizing Hong Kong with their killer robots. But when one of the robots gets damaged during a mission to kill an outcast, an inventor on the police force takes her and changes her programming. The new code, plus a few injuries to her logic center, transforms the automaton into a robot with a real personality. (BLU-RAY + 4K)

SENTIMENTAL VALUE (2025) (Criterion Collection) 

Joachim Trier, one of contemporary cinema’s great humanists, excavates layers of history and memory—both national and personal—for this rich, ineffably moving story of one family’s attempts to come to terms with generations of trauma and healing. After the death of their mother, two sisters must contend with the return home to Norway of their estranged father, celebrated filmmaker Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård). In the case of Nora (Renate Reinsve), an actor, he hopes to reconnect by casting her in his new film—a project that both inflicts fresh wounds and reopens old ones. With a virtuoso ensemble cast that also includes Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (in a breakout performance) and Elle Fanning, Trier’s film delicately balances each moment of humor and hurt, conducting a stunning emotional exploration of how the past echoes in the present and art can transform pain into catharsis. (DVD, BLU-RAY + 4K)
