Fatti di gente perbene / The Murri Affair (1974) DVD9

Based on a true incident, this tells the story of a troubled young man who kills his sister's reactionary, violent and abusive husband and is eventually arrested for the murder. However, the dead husband happened to be a member of the Italian nobility, and the trial starts to turn into more of a prosecution of the defendant's socialist politics and the activities of his father, a well known liberal social reformer, than the actual crime itself.

Das Lied von den zwei Pferden / Two Horses of Genghis Khan (2009) DVD9

The film follows Urna, a singer from Inner Mongolia (the part that resides within China) who travels to Outer Mongolia (or just Mongolia to the rest of the world) in order to fulfill the wish of her grandmother to collect the fragments of an old song that no one seems to remember. The ancient song of the Mongols, The Two Horses of Genghis Khan, was engraved on the violin's neck. Only the violin's neck and head survived the tumult of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Now it is time to fulfill the promise that Urna made to her grandmother.
Upon arrival in Ulan Bator, Urna brings the still intact parts of the violin – head and neck – to Hicheengui, a renowned maker of horse head violins, who will build a new body for the old instrument in the coming weeks. Then, Urna leaves for the interior to look there for the song's missing verses. But will she find what she is looking for...

The 70s Dimension (2005) DVD5

Take a trip back to a time when Blitz was the king of beers and the Marlboro Man galloped across the countryside with a cigarette proudly hanging from his mouth in this collection of television commercials, public service announcements, and other assorted small screen oddities from the 1970s. After you camp it up with the genuine article, look back at the past through more modern sensibilities, as six media collage artists remix found footage from the 1970s into a series of short decidedly warped short films that will change the way you look at the past.

The clips on this DVD were found in a dumpster in Portland, Oregon. There are a few legendary pieces, like the old pollution PSA with the crying Indian, but the majority of them are ones you've likely never seen before, culled from the early '70s, including some regional ads that probably were never seen outside of the Pacific Northwest. It's these unknown gems that make this disc so enjoyable.

A Clockwork Orange (1971) 2 x Blu-Ray 40th Anniversary Edition

Kubrick adapted the novel from Anthony Burgess to the silver screen. Set in the not too distant future of London, the film tells the tale of Alex (Malcolm McDowell, Caligula), a young man who cavorts around with his friends and looks to engage in violent acts of assault, rape or worse.
Alex is eventually betrayed by his pals and sentenced to 14 years in prison. He attempts to find a quick road to a pardon, first by cozening the prison chaplain, and then by volunteering for a radical psychological experiment intended to make him incapable of committing further violent crimes. The Ludovico Treatment turns out to be brutal aversion therapy, a brainwashing scheme advocated by a repressive government to neutralize all forms of anti-social activity.
The implications of this are not clear until Alex runs into an old victim, hell bent on revenge.

All My Failed Attempts: 7 short films by Tan Chui Mui (2009) DVD5

Seven short films written, directed, edited by Tan Chui Mui and filmed in 2008.

The winner of a Tiger Award in 2007 decided after she moved: I'm just going to make a short film every month. So she did.

The seven short films in this series are very different. It occasionally appears as if the maker is dissatisfied with her training and is reinventing film history for herself. There is a very pure documentary, there are dramatic dialogue-driven films (The Need of Ritual, Everyday, Everyday), dramatic actions (To Say Goodbye) and even burlesque science-fiction films (Dream #1, #2 and #3).

Dead of Night (1972) DVD9

"Dead of Night" is a legendary horror anthology series. The bad news is that four episodes have not survived their dispatch to the BBC archives after the cost-cutting wiping of used tapes to record new programmes.

After years of unavailability, the three surviving episodes from the legendary BBC horror anthology series, Dead of Night, finally comes to DVD. Originally screened on BBC2 in 1972, and rarely seen since, Dead of Night has been highly sought by fans of the BBC and British Horror for decades.

All episodes are representative of Dead of Night's uniquely subversive and intelligent take on the horror genre.

On the Waterfront (1954), Elia Kazan Outsider (1982), Contender: Mastering the Method (2001) DVD & Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando, The Godfather) is an ordinary dockworker just trying to keep his head down and get paid. Like all of his fellow dockworkers, he takes orders from mob boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb, 12 Angry Men), the stern ruler of the waterfront. Terry used to be a fighter, but his career dissolved after his brother Charley (Rod Steiger, In the Heat of the Night)—one of Friendly's close associates—asked him to take a dive. Terry may be a bit unhappy with the way his life has gone, but he wouldn't dream of actually rebelling or protesting. As far as he and nearly everyone else are concerned, only a rat would fight the system.

Alas, when Friendly's cruel leadership causes bodies to start piling up, the denizens of the waterfront grow increasingly restless. The infuriated Father Barry (Karl Malden, Pollyanna) begins urging local citizens to step forward and say something, but most are terrified of what the consequences might be. However, when things turn particularly bleak, Terry begins to reconsider his loyalties. Is there any hope of ending Friendly's tyrannical reign?

Damals / At That Time (1943) DVD5

This is an interesting film as the last one of the war years from Zarah Leander. On one level we might call it a damsel-in-distress chick flick: strong woman gets deeper and deeper in trouble as she lies to her husband about meeting an old friend, gets divorced, emigrates to Switzerland, works as doctor, gets fired for disobeying her boss's orders, emigrates to Portugal, dances in nightclub, emigrates to some unnamed Latin American country...
On another level it's a whodunit thriller - murder in the hotel, mysterious woman, false identity, detective work to find out what happened...
