Skin (2008) DVD9

It's an extraordinary story, one that only real life could invent. It begins in the mid 50s, when a rather ordinary Afrikaner couple have a baby - a girl with brown skin. Born in the apartheid era, Sandra's life becomes a nightmare when she starts going to school. The whites see her as a coloured girl, a reject in white society. But that's the least of it.
Sandra embarks on a thirty-year journey that takes her from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her place in a changing world.
After many more years of hardship and struggle, the chances of that reunion ever happening seem remote. But Sandra carries her father's advice with her wherever she goes: "Never give up!" Skin is a story of family, forgiveness and the triumph of the human spirit.

Choose Me (1984) DVD5

This critically praised sleeper stars Genevieve Bujold as Dr. Nancy Love, a romance-phobic radio sex therapist who inadvertently becomes roommates with Eve (Lesley Ann Warren), a sexually uninhibited bar owner and one of Dr. Love's frequent callers. Handsome, smooth-talking mental patient Mickey (Keith Carradine) comes to the bar and proceeds to woo and confuse both women as well as an aspiring poetess, Pearl (Rae Dawn Chong), who suspects Nancy is having an affair with her abusive French husband, Zack (Patrick Bachau). As the wild nights progress, all the women find themselves drawn to the mysterious Mickey, arousing the wrath of Zack and ensuring hilarious, moving, and thought-provoking moments. It's a dreamy concoction of sex, love, and brilliant dialogue, all wrapped up in a purposely artificial neon-drenched atmosphere with deliriously romantic music from soul crooner Teddy Pendergrass.

Summerfield (1977) DVD9

When teacher Simon arrives in a small, secluded village to take over the local school, he is surprised to discover that his predecessor has disappeared without a trace - and that nobody seems too concerned about it. As Simon probes deeper into the disappearance, the inhabitants of a forbidding estate called "Summerfield" take on more and more significance - until events reach a tragic, shattering and unforeseen climax.

Summerfield is often described as the Australian Wicker Man, but that description is as misleading. Summerfield is an excellent Aussie thriller-drama. It's moody, bleak, and features a very unsettling ending. A definite must-see for fans of 70s Australian cinema.

Rose, c’est Paris (2010) DVD5

Equal parts erotica, fashion shoot, art monograph, metaphysical mystery, social and cultural archaeology of the French capital, and neo-noir arthouse film — "Rose, c'est Paris" is the steamy tale of twin sisters, known only as B and Rose, and a third principal—the city itself. An abduction leads to a detective story that unfolds in the streets, cafes, cabarets, museums, abandoned factories, and grand hotels of Paris. What happened to the missing sister? Was there a plot? Was she really kidnapped? Is she alive or dead? Is it in fact a case of mistaken identity? Rheims and Bramly create a series of extraordinary tableaux suggesting all these possibilities and many more, featuring a host of celebrity figures including Naomi Campbell, Michelle Yeoh, Monica Bellucci, Charlotte Rampling, Valerie Lemercier, Ines Sastre, Anna Mouglalis, Audrey Marnay, Anthony Delon, Rona Hartner, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Azzedine Alaia, Louise Bourgoin, and Helena Noguerra.

Bettina Rheims and Serge Bramly's "Rose, c'est Paris" is both a photographic monograph and a feature-length film on DVD. This extraordinary work of art, in two different but interlocking and complimentary formats, defies easy categorization. For in this multi-layered opus of poetic symbolism, photographer Bettina Rheims and writer Serge Bramly evoke the City of Light in a completely novel way: this is a Paris of surrealist visions, confused identities, artistic phantoms, unseen manipulation, obsession, fetish, and seething desire.

Chung Kuo – Cina / Zhong Guo / La Chine / China (1972) 2 x DVD9

The course charted by Michelangelo Antonioni in this film presents unforgettable glimpses of one of the world's richest cultures. Although he visits familiar sights such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, the film's focus is fixed towards the people themselves. Across China, from major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, to Henan province, people struggle amidst poverty and hardship to sustain the collective revolutionary spirit that liberated them. The film is an indelible time capsule of the aftermath of Mao's Cultural Revolution, the defining event of Modern China.

The documentary was made at the behest of The People's Republic of China, who invited Antonioni and his small crew to spend two months filming the 'new' China emerging in the wake of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. The resulting three-and-a-half hour film, which led an angry Chairman Mao to brand Antonioni anti-China and anti-revolutionary, is a remarkable portrait of an enduringly complex, enigmatic and ancient civilisation in the midst of adapting to Communism.
