An-Magritt (Ullmann) grows up in a Norwegian mining town. She is born as a result of her mother being raped. Her mother is sentenced to the pillory for her sin and then commits suicide. The grandfather is the one who has to raise An-Magritt. The village of her birth is a harsh environment dominated by men; as an orphan girl it was all she could do just to survive. She learned to handle herself as a man in husbandry and trade, and even to read and write. Her hard life is full of daily drudgery and adversity, struggling against poverty, prejudice, and the natural elements. Then her unapproachable pride is broken by the arrival of a stranger - Johannes, a German scholar and builder of waterwheels. And Johannes brings love to An-Magritts life.

Alexandra / Aleksandra / Александра (2007) DVD9

Alexandra / Aleksandra / Александра (2007) DVD9
A summary of Alexandra is almost useless, as the film is less about story and more about marking the emotional footprints of its characters. The essential "plot", as it were, is about a Russian grandmother (Galina Vishnevskaya, a famous Russian opera singer) visiting her grandson Denis (Vasily Shevtsov), a sergeant in the Russian army. He's stationed at a remote Chechen outpost, and from the moment Alexandra arrives, she is out of place. The army base is barren and secluded, a closed system with its own code and structure. This visitor creates an immediate juxtaposition between the outside and the inside, and Sokurov patiently tracks the old woman as she explores the camp, talking to soldiers, and even going beyond its perimeter to the local market, where she befriends some of the occupied people.

Chantrapas / Shantrapa (2010) DVD9

Chantrapas / Shantrapa (2010) DVD9
Set in late Soviet/early post-Soviet times (with many deliberate anachronisms implying the genre of universal parable), Chantrapas tells the story of a young Georgian film director Nicolas (Dato Tarielashvili), who finds himself in conflict with Communist censors and studio executives and, in search of artistic freedom, decides to emigrate to France. There, he promptly discovers that the respect of capitalist film producers for the artistТs right to self-expression is hardly any higher than in the Soviet Union. Nicolas is deemed Уgood-for-nothingФЧan outsider, to be more preciseЧbecause his films have no place in a world ruled either by money or by an ideology...

Saturday Morning Pictures Vol.4: Runaway Railway (1966), Junket 89 (1970) DVD9
Here it is – the extremely rare, final volume of Network's Saturday Morning Pictures series that consisted of double-bills of movies by the Children's Film Foundation.
This volume is one of the best in the short-lived Saturday Morning Pictures series and features the usual combination of one black & white film, one colour film and a couple of bonus episodes of The Magnificient 6 1/2. The movies are Runaway Railway from 1965 and Junket 89 from 1970. Both movies, as what has always seemed to be the case in these releases, feature actors who have connections to Doctor Who!

Runaway Railway (1966)
Young railway enthusiasts repair a derelict locomotive and find themselves inadvertently involved in a mail train robbery.

Junket 89 (1970)
Junket always seems to be in trouble at school, but his troubles really begin when the absent minded science master allows him to borrow his experimental instant transportation machine to journey in a flash to some delectable spot.

Man Hunt (1941) DVD9
Captain Alan Thorndike (Walter Pidgeon), a famous English big-game hunter, gets Hitler in the sights of his hunting rifle at Berchtesgaden and pulls the trigger on an empty chamber. Loading his rifle he is distracted and then set upon by one of Hitler's guards. Brought before a SS Major (George Sanders) who happens to be a fellow hunter, Thorndike insists that his actions were simply in the spirit of a 'sporting stalk' and he had no intention of shooting the Fuhrer.
The Nazis torture Thorndike, in an attempt to get him to sign a confession that he was plotting to assassinate Hitler for the British government, in order to achieve a propaganda coup. Thorndike refuses and the Nazis stage an 'accident' by pushing him off a cliff. Thorndike survives and returns to England but is pursued by the Major, posing as an Englishman, Quive-Smith, and various Gestapo thugs. He is befriended by Jerry Joan Bennett, a tart with a heart, and attempts to disappear, so that the Nazi propaganda machine cannot implicate him and, by association, the British government.

Rea is Dowd, whom we meet in the first scene during a prison visit with his long-suffering girlfriend, played by Maria Doyle Kennedy. She wants to wait faithfully for him to get out of jail, but Dowd knows that, even if he were to be released, he'd have nothing to offer her in the form of a new life. On the way back to his cell after the visit, Dowd is caught in the middle as several other prisoners initiate a daring escape. There's a fight with a guard, a gun slides across the floor, and he picks it up. In a split second, he, too, decides to take it on the lam.
Dowd begins a new life in New York, but he might as well be in prison again - until he strikes up a friendship with co-worker Tulio (Molina) and gets to know his close group of Guatemalan exiles. A bond with Monica (Rosana Pastor) seals his acceptance among the exiles, and Dowd learns the dark truth behind their presence in the US.

A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923) DVD9

A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923) DVD9
A Woman of Paris (1923) was the first film Chaplin made for United Artists Film Corporation, which he founded with his friends Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith. It was Charlie Chaplin's dramatic film debut, an attempt to prove he could do more than comedy and didn't need to star in a film to appeal to his audience. The sophisticated melodrama stars Chaplin's onetime lover, Edna Purviance, as Marie St. Clair.

The film opens with Marie planning to escape suffocating parents and her provincial village for Paris with her betrothed, Jean Millet (Carl Miller). But the sudden death of Jean's father keeps him from meeting Marie at the train station. The deeply wounded Marie boards the train for Paris alone. By the next scene, a year later, Marie has become the mistress of the city's wealthiest bachelor - and most notorious rake Pierre Revel (Adolphe Menjou) who lavishes Marie with material things, but is promised in marriage to an heiress.

A year later she accidently meets Jean, who has come to Paris with his mother to study art. Suddenly, Jean re-enters her life, and Marie must choose between her lost true love and the lifestyle she has become accustomed to.

David Holzman’s Diary (1967) DVD9

David Holzman's Diary (1967) DVD9
Shot in 1967, David Holzman's Diary is a milestone in contemporary film history. Brilliantly conceived and executed, it manages to simultaneously be very much of its time and very many years ahead of its time. The film tells the story of David Holzman, a young man infatuated with film and film-making. David Holzman's Diary purports to be a committed New York film student's attempt to achieve the cinema dream he thinks happens all the time with his director heroes Luchino Visconti and Vincente Minnelli -- he'll just film his own life as it happens and wait for the multileveled truth of his life to reveal itself. Staged to seem like a documentary of a real person's life, Holzman's filming of his life starts to take over his life.
