3x Teuvo Tulio Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray collects three of the most delirious and visually striking works from Finnish director Teuvo Tulio, presented together for the first time on Blu-ray. Blending melodrama, surrealism, and noir-inflected imagery, Tulio’s films exist in a heightened emotional world where obsession, tragedy, and excess collide.
Across Cross of Love, Restless Blood, and Sensuela, Tulio crafts intensely stylized stories of desire, downfall, and transformation. From expressionist shadows and operatic heartbreak to psychedelic 1970s excess, these films defy convention and embrace a bold, almost hallucinatory vision of cinema.
Restored by the National Audiovisual Institute of Finland, this collection offers a rare opportunity to experience Tulio’s singular voice — at once provocative, emotionally charged, and completely unforgettable.
