TEZUKA'S BARBARA Available on Dual Format DVD/Blu-ray from Third Window Films (UK / 28 June)

One of Osamu Tezuka’s most adult and sexually-charged works, Barbara (1973-74) was originally serialized as a follow-up to Ayako (1972-73) in Big Comic from July 1973 to May 1974. Barbara is an adult-orientated fantasy tale filled with love and the occult. Its story deals with the erotic and bizarre experiences of a famous novelist called Yosuke Mikura whose life is tossed upside down by a mysterious girl named “Barbara”.

“Who the hell… are you?”

THE LEGEND OF THE STARDUST BROTHERS Collecter's Edition Dual-Format DVD/Blu-ray + Soundtrack CD Available 17th February from Third Window Films

In 1985, Macoto Tezka (son of the great manga artist Osamu Tezuka) met musician and TV personality Haruo Chicada, who had made a soundtrack to a movie which didn’t actually exist: The Legend of the Stardust Brothers. At the time Macoto was just 22 years old, a film-student with many short experimental films under his belt, but yet to make a feature-debut. With Chicada as producer, Tezka then adapted this “fake soundtrack” into the real movie story of The Stardust Brothers.

“Now you are reunited, your natural talent has awakened.”
