Geraldine Creed's CHAOS uses a classic love story to comment on the future of Ireland's political integration into Europe. When a biker (Jason Barry) gives up on his dreary life in rural Ireland, he joins a metal circus, and tours various European cities. He falls in love with one of the circus performers and decides to leave, but first must confront his controlling boss. Creed portrays a bleak, but realistic future, with the circus gladiators fighting on motorcycles, with chainsaws, in a ring of fire, but ultimately provides interesting insight into the human spirit.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurette - 1.

A sleek thriller about insecurity, infidelity, and murder, BORN TO KILL, based on a novel by James Gunn, is a dark and gritty melodrama that probes the ever-lurking dark side of human nature and the results of giving in to those impulses. The film opens with Sam (played by a brilliantly evil Lawrence Tierney) committing a double murder in a fit of jealousy. The bodies are soon discovered by the beautiful, wealthy Helen (Claire Trevor) who, not wanting to be involved, flees town and doesnAet report the crime. In a neat twist, Helen and Sam soon find themselves on the same train, wildly attracted to each other. Visiting her estate, Sam learns Helen is engaged to be married, so he goes after her sister Georgia (Audrey Long), marrying her. But it isnAet long before SamAes old life--and the murder he committed--comes back to haunt him. This inevitability, along with his insatiable jealousy of Helen, pushes Sam to new heights of brutality. The twists and turns in the story are supported beautifully by Robert de GrasseAes moody cinematography. This unflinching film noir is a little-known Robert Wise gem.

Marcello Mastroianni stars as an aging film director (named Manoel, essentially representing 90-year-old director Manoel de Oliveira) traveling to Portugal with a few members of his production staff to take his leading actor, Afonso (Jean-Yves Gautier), back to the town his family came from, searching to reconnect with his roots. As the group continues winding through ever-smaller villages, Manoel remembers stories from his childhood, reflecting on an exhilarating, painful life soon to be over. After Manoel shares each entertaining story, leading the others to relate poignant moments from their lives, director Oliveira lets the camera linger out the car's back window for lengthy periods of dialogue-free time, allowing the past to disappear quietly into the distance. When the travelers finally meet Afonso's aunt, the old ways clash with the new as Afonso tries to convince his aunt who he is and what he has become. VOYAGE TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD is a moving, funny, unique road trip film. The cast is uniformly excellent, but the film is a showcase for Mastroianni, in what was his 171st and final film. Don't miss the scene at the old aunt's table in which Mastroianni makes two marvelously silly faces, clearly having fun near the end of his character's life as well as his own.DVD Features:Region 1 Encoding
