Described as 'the Citizen Kane of British pop movies' by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band's success. Starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other.<br/><br/>Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s - from bold beginnings in seedy clubs to booze-addled endings in spectacular stadiums - this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie, was not what anybody was expecting.<br/><br/> Acclaimed as a stone-cold bona-fide cult classic over subsequent decades, and boasting a razor-sharp screenplay, superb performances and a power-packed foot-stomping soundtrack, Slade in Flame has been newly remastered by the BFI from the best available 35mm materials for its first ever release on Blu-ray.<br/><br/>EXTRAS:<br/>Newly remastered by the BFI and presented in High Definition and Standard Definition<br/>Newly recorded audio commentary with director Richard Loncraine and film critic Mark Kermode<br/>Make Way For Noddy(2025, 9 mins): actor Tom Conti discusses the making of Slade in Flame<br/>Noddy Holder Interview (2002, 54 mins): Noddy speaks to broadcaster Gary Crowley in the uncut, full-length version of an interview that later featured in The Making of Slade in Flame<br/>The Making of Slade in Flame (2007, 58 mins): recorded for the film's original DVD release and featuring interviews with all four members of Slade, director Richard Loncraine and actor Tom Conti, this documentary tells the story of Slade in Flame from its inception to its London premiere.<br/>This Week: Men's Fashions (1973, 5 mins): meet Tommy Nutter, the rebel tailor of Savile Row, as flamboyant fashions get thoroughly road-tested in this glam 1970s fashion short<br/>Original theatrical trailer (1975)<br/>Trailer (2025)<br/>Slade in Frame - a collection of promotional images from the film's original release<br/>**FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet with new writing on the film by Graham Rinaldi and other essays by J T Rathbone and Barry Forshaw

Guided throughout by the swells and dips of Tchaikovsky's music, Ken Russell's The Music Lovers examines the tragedies of Tchaikovsky's life through opulent and fantastic musical sequences running alongside a narrative of the composer's life between 1875 and 1881. Touching on his disastrous marriage with Antonia Miliukova, his relationship with his patroness Nadezhda von Neck, and his repressed homosexuality, The Music Lovers is anchored by magnetic central performances from Glenda Jackson following her Academy Award for Women in Love, coupled with Richard Chamberlain as a neurotic Tchaikovsky.

Rachel och hennes bästisar hade sitt livs härligaste kväll på nittiotalet under en konsert med pojkbandet de dyrkade. När Rachel tjugofem år senare vinner biljetter till bandets återföreningskonsert i Aten lyckas hon samla tjejerna för att återuppleva både vänskapen och kärleken till bandet. Det blir en riktig tjejträff som väcker många minnen till liv, och samtidigt får dem att se på framtiden med nya ögon.<br/><br/>"Greatest Days" är en härlig feelgood-musikal som bjuder på en rad av Take Thats största hitlåtar.

Artisten vi idag känner som David Bowie har självklar ikonstatus för att han fortsatte utvecklas och utmana sig själv och sin publik genom hela sin långa karriär. 1971 var han dock en udda fågel vid namn David Jones med många släpp men bara en hitsingel på meritlistan. För att karriären skulle ta fart krävdes något nytt. I det här läget skickas han på pr-turné till USA. En resa som skulle komma att ha en avgörande inverkan på hans transformation från en ganska nedtonad singer songwriter till den rock 'n roll-kameleont som nådde stratosfärisk framgång under decennierna som följde. Först ut av dessa färgstarka personas var Ziggy Stardust.<br/><br/>Istället för den traditionella rockbiografin möter vi här en fritt hållen road movie med lovprisat foto av Nic Knowland (Duke of Burgundy) som ramar in resan med vidvinkelbilder i varma färger. Regissören Gabriel Range tar i sin film fasta på den knepiga vänskapsrelationen mellan artisten som skulle bli Bowie, flyhänt spelad av Johnny Flynn, och den ende som i det här läget var fast övertygad om storheten i vad han höll på med, publicisten Ron Oberman (Marc Maron).
