World Noir Vol 5 Limited Edition UK Import Blu-ray brings together three landmark works of Italian post-war cinema that blur the line between neorealism and film noir. Across stories of desperate men, organised crime, wrongful accusation, and moral collapse, these films channel the grit and fatalism of American noir through the stark social realism of post-war Italy.
 
The Bandit follows a war veteran drawn into a criminal underworld after returning home to devastation and loss, while Against the Law delivers a tense Hitchcockian thriller centred on an innocent man framed for murder. Four Ways Out completes the set with a pressure-cooker crime story about a gang whose stolen fortune quickly spirals into paranoia and betrayal.
 
Presented in new 4K restorations with extensive newly produced interviews and a collectible hardbox presentation, this Radiance Films limited edition set highlights the deep connections between American noir and Italian neorealist cinema during the 1940s and 1950s.
 
directed by: Alberto Lattuada, Flavio Calzavara, Pietro Germi
