Combining narrative and documentary techniques, THE LIFE takes a highly stylized look at the world of prostitution. Denise Richards stars in the narrative portion of the film as a young woman studying anthropology in graduate school. When pressured by financial worries and her prostitute neighbor (Daryll Hannah), Richards decides to sell her body for cash. This story line is interspersed with pseudo-interviews with prostitutes of every imaginable variety, ranging from male hookers to up-scale call girls. THE LIFE encourages viewers to rethink the stigma surrounding this line of work.

Former DJ and Academy Award nominated director (for his short film HOLIDAY ROMANCE) Alexander Jovy examines the English club scene in the mystery SORTED. Carl (Matthew Rhys) is a naive country attorney who heads to London after his brother Justin dies in a suspicious drowning. He encounters the social circles that his brother was part of, and discovers a world of drugs, hedonism, wild parties, and throbbing dance music. This world--and Justin's ex-girlfriend Sunny (Sienna Guillory)--proves seductive to Carl, and he gets enveloped in it as Justin did, which may lead him down the same path of danger that proved deadly for his brother. Like HUMAN TRAFFIC and PARTY MONSTER, SORTED explores the sensual onslaught of the rave scene, allowing the audience to discover this world just as its protagonist does.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo

CAPOTE: Bennett Miller`s CAPOTE is a finely crafted biopic that recounts a historic chapter in American history and, in the process, captures the unraveling of a truly gifted mind. Starring an extraordinary Philip Seymour Hoffman as the legendary Truman Capote, the film concentrates on the seven-year period during which Capote wrote his groundbreaking nonfiction novel, IN COLD BLOOD. One morning in 1959, Capote learned of a horrific family killing in Holcomb, Kansas. With the intention of writing an article for the New Yorker, he traveled to the Midwest with his good friend Nell Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), who was about to publish her own masterwork, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Somehow, the soft-spoken, eccentric writer managed to earn the trust of local authorities--most notably, reserved K.B.I. agent Alvin Dewey (Chris Cooper). But when the two killers were caught and returned to Kansas to await trial, Capote began to form an intense emotional bond with one of them, Perry Smith (Clifton Collins, Jr.). The pressure of this connection threatened to push an already fragile Capote into the darkest recesses of himself. His only hope was to finish the book that he was convinced would shock the nation and change the course of writing forever.Hoffman`s tender portrayal of the writer is a remarkable achievement. He slips into the skin of Capote flawlessly, allowing viewers to experience Capote`s inner turmoil for themselves. Keener and Cooper once again deliver compassionate performances. But it is Miller`s overall vision, based on a script by Dan Futterman and beautifully realized by his technical collaborators (especially director of photography Adam Kimmel and production designer Jess Gonchor), that makes CAPOTE an Oscar-worthy production.POLLOCK: Ed Harris`s POLLOCK is a moving portrait of artist Jackson Pollock, an abstract expressionist painter whose work had major influence on the modern art movement. Pollock was also a serious alcoholic, and was marri
