The Lost Films Of Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Ecstasies of Women (1969), Linda and Abilene (1969), Black Love (1971) DVD9

Herschell Gordon Lewis is a filmmaker responsible for introducing a revolutionary approach to the horror genre. In the mid-1960s, he switched his talents from titillating works known as "nudie-cuties" to a series of films that showcased the shocking power of gore. With titles like Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs and Color Me Blood Red, Lewis enjoyed a success low-budget filmmakers rarely accomplish and earned the moniker "The Godfather of Gore". The movies were not known for their plots or any particular technical prowess and the less said about the acting, the better, yet each of his films are instantly recognizable to fans as an H.G. Lewis production. Over the following four decades his work took on a cult status that has inspired countless imitations and provided a benchmark for gore-hounds the world over.

Following his success in the horror genre, Lewis briefly returned to the world of sexploitation with a trio of pictures that disappeared not long after their initial theatrical runs. These lost titles were a holy grail for fans, as they were the only ones missing from his filmography, and yet despite years of inquiries, the director has essentially disowned them. Ecstasies of Women, Linda and Abilene and the "marital aid" Black Love have all recently been recovered from the cinematic wasteland by the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome, and given a deluxe restoration that has to be seen to be believed. Are they any good? Well, that is a not really a fair question given the content, but they are definitely worth a look.

The Saragossa Manuscript / Rekopis znaleziony w Saragossie (1965) 2 x DVD9, Blu-Ray

Two soldiers read a book found in a house in the embattled town of Saragossa, which one of them thinks is about his Grandfather. In the book, Captain Alfons van Worden (Zbigniew Cybulski) is trying to get to Madrid but is delayed in the Sierra Morena by what seem to be the ghost demons of two hanged men. In cyclical waking dreams, he's seduced by a pair of Arabian princesses in a palace hidden under the decrepit Quemada (trans: burned) Inn. Yet every morning, he wakes up back out in the pass, under the gallows and its two corpses. Fleeing this dilemma, he's captured by the inquisition but rescued by some noblemen who invite him to a castle, where for awhile it looks as if his ordeal was all a planned conspiracy. A passing gypsy tells a tale of the son of a Jewish Merchant, which becomes a Chinese box of overlapping stories inside stories.

The Guns of Navarone (1961) DVD9, DVD5, Blu-Ray

1943. Two-thousand British troops are pinned down on the island of Kheros in the Aegean Sea. They have only one week to live because Hitler has planned a show of force on Kheros in order to convince neighboring Turkey to join the Axis. Allied attempts to rescue the men have failed because the channel to Kheros is guarded by two radar-controlled guns on the nearby island of Navarone. Air raids can't destroy the heavily fortified munitions.
A team of six brave individuals is called upon to sneak onto the island and take out the guns. It's a suicide mission if ever there was one, but somebody's got to give it a shot. Leading the team is the firm, unflappable Captain Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck, To Kill a Mockingbird), who's grown increasingly cynical as the war has marched on. He's aided by the embittered Col. Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn, Revenge), the world-weary Cpl. Miller (David Niven, Casino Royale), the violent Pvt. Butcher Brown (Stanley Baker, Zulu), the green Pvt. Spyros Pappadimos (James Darren, Gidget) and the earnest Maj. Roy Franklin (Anthony Quayle, Lawrence of Arabia). Will this band of hardened soldiers survive their perilous mission?

Khrustalyov, My Car! / Khrustalyov, mashinu! / Хрусталев, машину! (1998) DVD9

1953, somewhere in a nocturnal, wintry Russia: ominous black cars patrol the streets; every flat contains a spy; and a paranoid Stalin is dying, yet still orchestrating his infamous "Doctor's Plot" purge, which imprisoned and killed many predominantly Jewish doctors. Into this real-life terror plunges Alexei Guerman's mesmerizing, unrelenting film maudit, which follows a military doctor living obliviously on the edge of doom—until, that is, a knock on the door arrives. Visually and aurally manic, with every frame crammed full of people and objects and a camera constantly on the move across apartments, streets, and trains, Khrustalyov thrusts viewers deep into a collective nightmare where—befitting the times—meaning barely exists, only hallucinations and chaos. Indeed, Khrustalyov is arguably not a film, but a frenzied state of mind, and one of the most astounding, exhilarating works of nineties cinema.

His Wife’s Diary / Dnevnik ego zheny / Дневник его жены (2000) DVD9

Aleksei Uchitel's film His Wife's Diary reveals the private side of the life of the great Russian writer Ivan Bunin, a side which is unknown to audiences.

Living in immigration in France, separated from Russia and deeply worried about his homeland during World War II, Bunin cannot find peace in his own family. This complicated love drama, involving Bunin, his wife Vera, his lover, young poet Galina Plotnikova, and opera singer Marga Kovtun, for whom Galina leaves Bunin, is strikingly frank. Bunin's story, as told by Aleksei Uchitel, contradicts the widespread beliefs about the writer.

As the main goal of the film is not to follow historic truth, the director has concentrated on Bunin's personality. He is not afraid of showing the Russian classic from a side which is usually not mentioned in literature textbooks. In the film, Bunin is tortured and indecisive, and harrowed by passions. Dramatic scenes give the audience a full sense of the atmosphere of personal catastrophe experienced by this great man...
