Eureka Entertainment made their biggest ever announcement today through their social media channels as they revealed details about recent acquisitions and their home-video plans for the forthcoming months.

New acquisitions announced include Tobias Nölle’s Aloys and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Creepy, which were both picked up at this year’s Berlinale, along with festival favourite, Naomi Kawase’s An [Sweet Bean] and Alex Ross Perry’s Queen of Earth.

FIPRESCI Panorama prize winner at this year’s Berlinale, Aloys is Tobias Nölle’s beautifully shot story of Aloys Adorn, a private investigator who receives a call from a mystery woman who he proceeds to have a “telephone walking” relationship with. Sharing adventures, parties and heartbreak together, Aloys and his new-found companion, travel through a multitude of emotions and scenarios.

Past and present collide in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Creepy when retired detective Takura takes on a six-year-old case of a missing family. When he moves with his family to a new neighbourhood; things start to get “creepy”. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s latest film sees him return to his film making roots revisiting his early psychological styles. The master is back to that early genre defining style with all his signature tactics intact!

Festival darling Naomi Kawase’s latest picture An [Sweet Bean] has been screened in almost every important festival over the last year, including entry into the prestigious Un Certain Regard category at Cannes and a spot at the London Film Festival. The owner of a street food stall finds himself confronted with an odd but sympathetic elderly lady looking for work. One taste of her home-made bean jelly convinces him, starting a relationship that is about much more than just street food.

Alex Ross Perry’s Queen of Earth is a thrilling examination of a deeply complex relationship between two miserable women. Catherine, played by Elisabeth Moss is going through a bad patch. Her childhood friend, Virginia (Katherine Waterston) takes her to the country house of her parents, nestled at the edge of a lake. The place seems ideal to relax, but Catherine is deteriorating and will soon take a disturbing turn. Eureka released Alex Ross Perry’s previous film Listen Up Philip in 2015.

Release plans for all four titles will be announced later in the year.

“At Eureka Entertainment we are really excited about our line-up for the year ahead. Our core brand Masters of Cinema is moving from strength to strength and our release schedule over the coming months is certainly one not to be missed. We look forward to continuing to support new and groundbreaking directors with a diverse range of releases as we move into a new era.

"These titles are a select few of what to look out for in the coming months, with plenty more scheduled.

I would like to thank the great team here at Eureka for their immense support over the past few months since my father, Ron Benson, passed away. The journey that he started 15 years ago will continue as we look to make Eureka bigger and better than ever before, and to preserve the brand that is his legacy. I know he would have been the first to admit that Eureka is looking at its strongest line up for a long time.”

Further details on all titles will be posted closer to the individual release dates.
