In this surreal Swedish film from director Roy Andersson, a toxic green light colors each scene, setting the story in a bleak post modern world. The economy is failing, as is the stability of the human psyche, and even as the story relies heavily on order and structure, rooting itself in organized settings--the train station, the board room table, the hospital, the business conference--the action and dialogue strays into a nonsensical, backwards, impossible place. Darkly comic and relentlessly bizarre, SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR is like a Fellini film in slow motion, or a David Lynch film drained of color, or an abstract Monty Python comedy. Structured around the ominous statement Beloved is the one who sits down by the poet Cesar Vallejo, the movie is organized into vaguely related vignettes, all occurring in adjacent locations at almost the same point in time, and occasionally overlapping. The characters in Andersson's film wear business suits. They are sickly pale, and very puffy and unhealthy looking. They wander aimlessly but with instinctive purpose, perpetually suffering bad luck, and following daily routines that often end in gruesome injury, drunkenness, death, or just plain weirdness. A badly burned man who has just set his office building on fire rides the subway expressionless, while all the other passengers sing opera loudly and in unison. A failed crucifix salesman angrily unloads a truck full of Jesuses at the dump, flinging the crosses into a giant ghastly pile. A young girl is selected by a group of executives to be sacrificed, and at a ceremony attended by clergymen, businessmen, and hundreds of other officials, she is pushed off a cliff. This artistic, visually engrossing, and conceptually awe-inspiring film competed at Cannes in 2001.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseWidescreenAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Billy Bob Thornton's ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is about John Grady Cole (Matt Damon), a young rancher growing up just after WWII. After his mother sells the family ranch, John convinces his best friend, Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas), to accompany him to Mexico, where ranching is still a big part of life. Along the way they meet Jimmy Blevins (Lucas Black), a winningly enthusiastic boy with a volatile nature. Eventually, John and Lacey end up on a huge ranch south of the border, where John falls for the wealthy rancher's daughter (Penelope Cruz). This leads to deadly trouble for the two young men, but John won't be dissuaded from pursuing his new love. Thornton has made a credible modern Western with this film, which gets strong performances from Damon, Cruz, Thomas, and, in a star-making turn, Black as the fiery Blevins. ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is at its best when focusing on the dusty details of the ranchers' hard existence. Barry Markowitz's cinematography and Ted Tally's script (based on Cormac McCarthy's much-loved novel) capture a sweet and melancholy flavor in depicting a way of life that seemed long since lost even while a hardy few were still living it.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.Original Theatrical TrailerText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes Talent Files
