Don't Touch the White Woman: In this satirical comedy from 1974, Marco Ferreri transplants the Battle of Little Big Horn to the site of a demolished Parisian mall and presents his take on the classic American western by sympathizing with the Indians instead of the cowboys. Starring Catherine Denueve, Marcello Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli and Ugo Tognazzi. In French with English subtitles. Koch Lorber, $19.98.

The Edge of Love: In the bohemian underground of World War II London, a stirring love story ignites among legendary poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys from TV's ''Brothers and Sisters'') and the two extraordinary women who inspire him. Sienna Miller (''Casanova'') is Caitlin, Thomas' free-spirited wife, while Keira Knightley (''Atonement'') is Vera, the long-lost teenage sweetheart who later reconnects with Thomas. Despite their romantic rivalry, the two women form a surprisingly close bond. The trio is unusually blissful until Vera's husband, a handsome soldier (Cillian Murphy, ``Girl with a Pearl Earring''), sends their uninhibited lives spiraling out of control. Image Entertainment, $27.98. $35.98, Blu-ray.

Flicker: This award-winning documentary about poet, artist, calligrapher and mystic Brion Gysin portrays the life and legacy of someone who believed art could revolutionize human consciousness. The project chronicles Gysin's complex ideas, friendships and influence with some of the 20th century's key counter-culture figures, such as poet William S. Burroughs, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and English singer/songwriter Marianne Faithfull. The hypnotic film also features Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV, poet John Giorno, punk rocker Iggy Pop, filmmaker Kenneth Anger and artist/turntablist DJ Spooky. Using the dream machine to launch its explorations, ''Flicker'' asks crucial questions about the nature of art and consciousness and imagines humanity liberated to explore its creativity in complete freedom. Alive Mind, $26.98.

The Haunting in Connecticut: Based on a chilling true story, director Peter Cornwell's ''The Haunting in Connecticut'' charts a family's terrifying, real-life encounter with the dark forces of the supernatural. When the Campbells move to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian house has a disturbing history: Not only was it a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but also the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to cross over. Now unspeakable terror awaits when Jonah returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family. With Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gallner, Martin Donovan, Elias Koteas and Amanda Crew. Lionsgate, $29.95. $34.98 unrated edition; $39.99 Blu-ray.

Horsemen: Dennis Quaid plays a widower and detective who faces a bizarre investigation: a quartet of murders modeled on the themes of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ziyi Zhang (''Memoirs of a Geisha'') also stars, along with Lou Taylor Pucci and Clifton Collins Jr. Produced by Platinum Dunes, Michael Bay's remake machine that has given us the classic-horror remakes as ''The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'' and ''Friday the 13th,'' makes sure that ''Horsemen'' works as a compelling crime thriller. Quaid is his usual dependable self, and the direction captures some darkly attractive scenery. Also, the last 20 or so minutes heat up the thrills quotient but lead to a rushed and thoughtless finale that may disappoint some viewers. Lionsgate, $27.98.
