Yellow Veil Pictures is a New York City and Los Angeles-based film sales and distribution company focusing exclusively on boundary pushing genre cinema, seeking to highlight filmmakers who exist on the cusp of commercial and arthouse cinema.

Based on a novel by Kazimierz Brandys and told in a series of vignettes, Wojciech Has’s psychological tragedy marks the end of the Polish Film School and an important transition in the Polish director’s career.

Reviews

Just be nice

"A hauntingly beautiful restoration of a Polish masterpiece that looks incredible in high definition. The deep contrast and sharp detail breathe new life into this somber, psychological classic—a must-own for world cinema collectors."

— Kevin G. (5/5)

Highly recomended

"Great presentation. Film looks gorgeous."

— Paulo A. (5/5)

Incredibly underrated

"Check out The Hourglass Sanatorium if you want to see an jaw dropping surrealistic movie from this same director!"

— Craig G. (5/5)

How to Be Loved

"Beautiful packaging and special features"

— Adriana S. (5/5)

A Slow Film That Grows on You

"Movie: A well-made movie that was interesting enough but not really grabbing me at first. Eventually more of the pieces fall into place, and it made me feel like I would get more out of a rewatch. Extras: The intro sets the movie up well, and both extras give you more context around the background of the film, both in historical terms and in how it relates to other Polish films of the time. Book: Even more context! Definitely looking to share the film with others at some point now."

— Gideon M. (5/5)

Has is Awesome!

"First off, amazing slipcover. Second, Polish cinema is awesome!"

— Forrest M. (5/5)

Another great Wojciech Has Joint.

"Another Wojciech Has gem featuring gorgeous artwork, a lovely transfer, excellent scholarly extra features from Annette Insdorf as well as a discussion on the from with critic Sebastian Smoliński. This is another Polish gem that is well worth your time and I couldn't be happier to see these more obscure films finding themselves on quality discs."

— Trent S. (5/5)

Stay the course

"Bleak and not an easy ride but worth it if you can focus and stick with it"

— Rory C. (4/5)

Do you Has?

"Fantastic release, gorgeous slip. A more traditional, accessible narrative than Hourglass or Saragossa, but elliptical in its own way and utterly mesmerizing."

— Richard M. (4/5)

Beautiful Wartime Drama

"Hauntingly beautiful story of love under Nazi oppresion, filtered through a layer of remembering the past. Not as strange as the other Has films Yellow Veil has released, but more emotional and has stuck with me for longer."

— Adam H. (5/5)
