In this video, I run through Radiance Films’ May 2026 Blu-ray announcements, showcasing one of the label’s strongest monthly lineups yet. From an epic historical French saga and lost Japanese crime gems to action thrillers, cult comedy, and body-horror satire, this month’s slate highlights Radiance’s commitment to eclectic, world-class cinema on boutique physical media.
Today’s update includes:
🔹 Jeanne la pucelle – a two-part epic from Jacques Rivette brought to Blu-ray as a limited edition with a 4K restoration.
🔹 Aesthetics of a Bullet – a lost yakuza gem from Sadao Nakajima ripe for rediscovery on Blu-ray.
🔹 Le professionnel – a stylish French action thriller getting the Radiance Blu-ray treatment.
🔹 Hi, Mom! – a UHD + Blu-ray limited edition of the genre-blending comedy/drama.
🔹 Taxidermia – a surreal and darkly comic Hungarian satire receiving a deluxe limited edition Blu-ray.
In this breakdown, I talk through what makes each release special, what to expect from the transfers and extras, and why these films are worth adding to your collection — especially if you’re into world cinema, genre classics, and underseen rarities.
