As discussed the first time I did this column highlighting some choice Kino Lorber nuggets, I LOVE their combo of classics versus “You gotta see this shit!” to gems they have rightfully given a home to and made available for people like us to discover. I will routinely call a friend after watching a title (including a couple on this list) to excitedly talk about it. That’s what movie watching should inspire, right? That kind of excitement and thrill – so much so that you just need to talk about it with someone?!

Yan, said, “Watching both of these films that focus on two amazing women from China and Hong Kong who have demonstrated what it means to be a leader, to be brave, to be heroic, stands in sharp contrast to the version of MULAN that Disney has delivered to film audiences. The fact that both films are the work of wonderful women filmmakers underlines why we suggest watching these films as an alternative for those seeking their Chinese heroine “fix” this week.”

Now, one of the best sources for the films in my library has been Kino Lorber. The range and reach of the films they have available now makes them my favorite source of Blu-Rays and DVDs to go to. Yes, yes, yes, I have my share of Criterion discs, but there is a whole lot of broccoli movies going on there with few hints of popcorn, for my tastes, while Kino Lorber seems to be much more on my wavelength.
