We Need More Space in the Cosmos.
We may need more space in the cosmos, but do we need another cosmic record? Decidedly 'on-trend', down to the
La-Boca-esque cover art, but don't hold it against this enthusiastic Schulze/Jarre tribute homage – a minor gem.

Blackjack #5.
"[Osamu Tezuka's]
Black Jack is a genius surgeon who never acquired his license due to his clashes with the medical establishment. He is hired out by anyone willing to pay his exorbitant rates and is perceived as a heartless rogue because of his enigmatic nature and antisocial manner. But as readers will soon discover, that is not the whole story." Each volume published by Vertical contains ~12 of the 250 stories Tezuka published 1973–1983, many for the first time in English.

Last Year at Marienbad.
"[A] defining work of the French New Wave [...] this surreal fever dream, or nightmare, gorgeously fuses the past with the present in telling its ambiguous tale of a man and a woman [...] who may or may not have met a year ago, perhaps at the very same cathedral-like, mirror-filled château they now find themselves wandering. Unforgettable in both its confounding details (gilded ceilings, diabolical parlor games, a loaded gun) and haunting scope, Resnais’ investigation into the nature of memory is disturbing, romantic, and maybe even a ghost story."

The Seventh Seal – Criterion.
"Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. Much studied, imitated, even parodied, but never outdone, Bergman’s stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning, The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet), was one of the benchmark foreign imports of America’s 1950s art-house heyday, pushing cinema’s boundaries and ushering in a new era of moviegoing."
