The Butcher Boy (1997) DVD9
Francie Brady (Eamonn Owens) is a troubled, but charming twelve-year-old boy growing up in a small Irish town in the 1960s. With an alcoholic dad, Benny (Stephen Rea), a burnt out trumpet player and a neurotic mother, Annie (Aisling O'Sullivan), who's on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Francie hangs out with his best friend, Joe (Alan Boyle), or retreats into his own fantasy world gradually filling up with bug-eyed aliens, communists, occasional nuclear blasts, and visions of the Virgin Mary (Sinйad O'Connor). His favourite, most passionate pastime, however, is irritating Mrs. Nugent (Fiona Shaw), an uppity neighbour , who likened the Bradys to a bunch of pigs. So, Francie and Joe go about terrorising Nugent's nervous and nerdy son, Philip (Andrew Fullerton), when not taunting her. Things get worse when Francie's mother kills herself -- leaving him with his boozed up father- and when Joe soon backs away from Francie's behaviour and befriends Philip. Francie's anguish lea ds to more and more agitated and violent behaviour, and things come to a head after he takes a job at the local butchery. Francie finally loses his last contacts with sanity and reality.

Русский бунт / Russkiy bunt / The Captain’s Daughter (1999) DVD9


Aleksandr Proshkin directs this historic epic, which is full of complex intrigue, doomed lovers, and shots of the icy Russian landscape. Drawing from two of Alexandr Pushkin's most beloved works, The Captain's Daughter and A History of Pugachev, the film opens with young cadet Pyotr Grinyov (Mateusz Damiecki) trekking off to his remote compound after Empress Catherine II (Olga Antonova) has her husband Peter killed. On the rookie soldier's journey, he lends his fur coat to runaway Emelian Pugachev (Vladimir Mashkov), who soon believes that young Pyotr is in fact Tsar Peter III. Later at the fortress, Pyotr finds himself competing with his fellow soldiers for the attention of Masha (Karolina Gruszka), the gorgeous daughter of the fort's commanding officer, while Pugachev masses rebel forces against the fort. This film was screened at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival.

Vassa / Васса (1983) 2 x DVD9


In this family children were taught from the early years to put accent on the word "my": my ship, my house, my factory… Here they counted the money earned by other people's labour and could lose a fortune overnight playing cards; here they indulged in utter debauchery and were sneaking on each other; they prayed and engaged in shady dealings in the name of God… Vassa had it all: money, power, clout, brains and grip. And only one thing she did not have – the future, for the year 1917 was drawing nearer and the age of the Zheleznovs and the Khrapovs was coming to an end.

A screen adaptation of the second version of A.M. Gorky's play "Vassa Zheleznova".

Level Five (1997) DVD9

Level Five (1997) DVD9
A young woman inherits a job working on a computer game about the Battle of Okinawa, a turning point of World War II. Director Marker ( "La Jetee," "Sans Soleil" ) uses this set-up to launch a meditation on human nature, memory, history and computers, as the woman searches the Internet for information on the horrendous Okinawa conflict, which involved large numbers of civilian deaths and incidents of mass suicide.
Among those recounting their memories is Japanese filmmaker Nagisa Oshima. Marker's radical style mixes computer-manipulated imagery, interviews and historical footage with simple sequences of monologue addressed to the camera by his main character. What she learns about the Okinawa tragedy affects her deeply and will surely haunt the viewer.

Addressing the Nation: The GPO Film Unit Collection Volume 1 (1933 - 1935) 2 x DVD9
Created 75 years ago out of the ashes of the Empire Marketing Board Film Unit, the GPO Film Unit was one of the most remarkable creative institutions that Britain has produced. A hotbed of creative energy and talent, it provided a springboard to many of the best-known and critically acclaimed figures in the British Documentary Movement.

John Grierson, Alberto Cavalcanti, Humphrey Jennings, Basil Wright, Harry Watt, Edgar Anstey and Arthur Elton, alongside innovators and experimentalists such as Len Lye and Norman McLaren are some of the directors whose work embraced public information films, drama-documentary, social reportage, animation and advertising.

The BFI National Archive, in partnership with The British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA), Royal Mail and BT Heritage, has curated and restored this legendary output of short films.

This, the first of three volumes, provides a fascinating exploration of the unit's early experimentation with sound, and features the award winnning 'Song of Ceylon' and other neglected works many of which will be available for the first time since their original release.

Mahler (1974) DVD9

Mahler (1974) DVD9
Mahler has sometimes been cited as the finest of Russell's composer bio-pics, an informal series which began with several impressive works made for television at the beginning of the 1960s.

The film takes place mostly as a series of flashbacks, experienced by the ailing composer as he travels to take up a last appointment in Vienna, accompanied by his wife Alma (Georgina Hale). His memories prompted by his imminent mortality, as well as Alma's libidinous interest in a handsome soldier also on the train, Mahler dwells on several key episodes of his life, such as his early musical education, his conversion to Catholicism and a humiliating job interview for the Vienna Opera. Thus while the fatigue wracked composer's train journey is experienced as reality, his feverish recollection of a creative past is often hallucinatory and surreal - moments at which Russell's colourful staging of events is foremost.

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) DVD9 + DVD5 RUSCICO

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) DVD9 + DVD5 RUSCICO
Andrei Tarkovsky was a Russian director who made slow paced, hypnotic films filled with beautiful images and thought provoking themes. His masterpiece is Stalker, one of the most gorgeous and entrancing films ever made. This is really a film that defies description. A science fiction film, a philosophical drama, and a metaphoric excursion, Stalker is all of this and yet so much more. A film that is more experienced than just viewed, this is a must-see for anyone interested in film as an art.

Something happened. Maybe it was aliens landing. Or maybe it was a meteor strike. But something happened and The Zone was created, an area where things don't work as you'd expect them to, where the laws of physics are out of whack. People started disappearing in The Zone and so the government sent in the army to investigate. They were never heard from again. Ever since that time The Zone has been cordoned off with sever penalties for going into it.
People still go into The Zone however, mainly because of The Room. In the center of The Zone, as the story goes, there is The Room which will grant those who enter it their deepest wish. To get to this miraculous place is impossible without an experienced guide, known as a stalker. As the movie begins a famous author, burned out and cynical, and a scientist, quiet but rebellious, (who are known only as Writer and Professor throughout the film) hire Stalker to lead them through the dangers of The Zone. Each of them have their own reasons for going, including Stalker himself, and their journey isn't without peril and danger. Along the way this trio is forced to look at themselves and each other and examine their hopes, dreams, and beliefs. What is worth risking your life for?

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: Volume 1 (1976) 3 x DVD9

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: Volume 1 (1976) 3 x DVD9
In melding soap operas and sitcoms, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Vol. 1 is one of the more interesting shows to ever make it on TV.

Mary Hartman (Louise Lasser) is a typical suburban housewife of the seventies with her pigtails, buckteeth, and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" wardrobe. Like many housewives, she longs for something more in life. She wishes for a better sex life with husband Tom (Greg Mullavy), a closer relationship with her teenage daughter, Heather (who may be involved in the murders of the family down the street). And more than anything, she wishes she could get the waxy yellow build up off of her kitchen floor.

Mary's best friend, Loretta (Mary Kay Place) is on her way to becoming a country music superstar, especially now that she's got a real mass-murder to sing about. Her devoted husband, Charlie (Graham Jarvis), will do anything to make it happen.

Mary's extended family consists of a dotty mother (Dody Goodman); a long-suffering father (the most normal character in the whole show); a trampy, slacker sister (Debralee Scott); and a grandfather who likes to flash the elementary school lunch ladies.

Week after week, Mary deals with the problems and issues of modern life, from venereal diseases to infidelity, to mass murder and religious cults. It's just another typical day in the typical town of Fernwood, USA.

Kono ko wo nokoshite / Children of Nagasaki (1983) DVD9

Kono ko wo nokoshite / Children of Nagasaki (1983) DVD9
Based on an originally banned book by the surgeon Takashi Nagai, who died of radiation sickness in 1951 after witnessing the bomb blast in Nagasaki, this film is told from the perspective of his son, memories recalled while he is on a plane coming home from a conference. He remembers how his father was himself fighting leukemia and the effects of radiation as he treated radiation victims and how his mother also died, leaving both her children in the care of their grandmother. Nagai's son becomes a journalist, and when filing reports from battlefields around the globe, expresses his relief that no atomic weapons were ever used again. Some western wags will criticize this film as dwelling too much on the suffering of the Japanese people, but the magnitude of the suffering involved is more than most people can comprehend. A more enlightened criticism might be the omission here of Japan's own treatment of the radiation victims, many of whom have been ostracized from the rest of ! society due to ignorance and prejudice, and since their exposure to radiation usually causes birth defects or other health problems in their children, the stigma and illnesses continue into the next few generations.

Cafe de Flore (2011) DVD9

Cafe de Flore (2011) DVD9
Cafe de Flore is a captivating puzzle about the mystery of love, a shape-shifting film that hits the heart the same way music enters the soul — without thought, only rapture.

Set forty years apart, and jumping back and forth between two time frames, Cafe de Flore tells the story of Parisian single mother, Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis), struggling to raise her Down Syndrome afflicted son, Laurent (Lucas Bonin) in 1969; and Antoine (Kevin Parent), a disc jockey in present day Montreal whose life seems well-nigh perfect in terms of health, financial security (obviously he's a well paid DJ) and happiness with his partner and two children. But things are not quite what they appear on the surface, both in terms of characterization and plot. The French pair turn out to be linked to Antoine in a way that Vallee, no doubt, thinks is an original twist on an age-old tale.
