The debut film by director Christine Jeffs, RAIN, records with charm the confusion of coming of age amidst domestic disintegration. In Far North New Zealand in 1972, Janey (Alicia Fulford-Wierzbicki) has traveled to the beach for a long lazy summer with her family. As the days get longer, Janey teaches her little brother, Jim (Aaron Murphy), to swim while their Scotch-sedated parents ignore each other, wallowing in their messy marriage. From hungover days to beach party nights, they fake their way through parenting. It is late into one such night, while party music plays loudly, that Janey's mother, Kate (Sarah Peirse), lulls photographer Cady (Marton Csokas) into a swirling secret embrace. Though Janey detests the drunken dramatics, her mother's boozing and flirting symbolize the freedoms of adulthood, so Janey steals sips and smokes, and kisses the neighbor kid. But he's just a boy, and Janey's becoming a woman, so she sets her sights instead on her mother's pick, Cady.As the title suggests, the oceanic climate of New Zealand leads to dramatic changes of weather, and also reflect RAIN's mid-film change of heart. RAIN first sparkles like the bright blue sea and warm summer nights in the glow of fairy lights, then crumbles under bruised bourbon-colored skies. With a superb musical score, the Split Enz' Neil Finn band provides retro-styled melancholia indebted to the Brothers Gibb.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

A teen drama scripted by James Hughes (son of the master of such fare, John Hughes), NEW PORT SOUTH stars Blake Shields as Maddox, the leader of a group of students fed up with the authoritarian ways of the administration at the movie's titular high school. Maddox's imagination is stirred when he hears about a former student of the school who was institutionalized and later made a name for himself by springing teens like himself from those institutions. Bolstered, Maddox and his cohorts begin a series of clandestine rebellious acts designed to overthrow the oppressiveness of the school and show the administration that they cannot suppress the individual.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: Dolby Surround - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
