Buy Felicidades (DVD)

Some lonely souls in Buenos Aires all try to make the best of it on one hot, muggy Christmas Eve when a series of wry coincidences forces them to cross paths sometimes without even knowing it. An overworked stand up comic can`t make his audience laugh. A writer ruins all his relationships with women despite his commercial successes. A father is desperate to find his son the latest robot toy that`s sold out of every store in town. A shy and handsome young doctor can`t relate to women. A lonely handicapped artist wants to relate to other people and make a friend. And a hardened cop tries to make the best of it in a corrupt police force. All of these stories and more emerge from the humming heat of a black Buenos Aires night like blood sucking bats from an abandoned church. In his debut film about love, loss, desperation, and desire Lucho Bender, an internationally acclaimed director of commercials, reveals a style and sensibility that shares Robert Altman`s genius for interweaving the lives of many and Jim Jarmusch`s depiction of alienation and wackiness.This film screened in New York City in May 2001 as part of the Recent Argentine Cinema film festival (Passionate Stories--a Passion for Storytelling) organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

The Godfather himself, Marlon Brando, brilliantly reprises his famous role in this oddly affecting comedy.DVD Features:Region 13-DVD Boxed SetFull Frame - 1.33

The Winslow Boy (DVD) The Winslow Boy (DVD) » The Winslow Boy (DVD)

Based on an actual trial that created a media frenzy in WWI-era London, THE WINSLOW BOY might have been conceived as a standard courtroom drama. Instead, director David Mamet (working from the play by Terence Rattigan) focuses on a family pushed to the limit by its fight for justice. The trouble begins when Ronnie Winslow (Guy Edwards), a 13-year-old naval cadet, is accused of, and subsequently expelled for, stealing a five-shilling postal order. The boy's father, Arthur (Nigel Hawthorne), believes his son's protestations of innocence and sets in motion an expensive fight against the immense bureaucratic machinery of the crown. The expense and publicity imperil the family--costing Arthur's suffragette daughter, Catherine, a suitor, for example--even as the case becomes a national cause celebre. The story captures a period of intense social change; charts an early example of the media trial; and asks the very human question, What is one's good name worth? Excellent performances abound in the film, especially from Jeremy Northam as the charismatic lawyer Sir Robert Morton; and Mamet's wife, Rebecca Pidgeon, as Catherine.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen Anamorphic - 16:9Dolby Surround - EnglishAdditional Release Materials: Audio Commentary:

Assault on Precinct 13 (DVD) Assault on Precinct 13 (DVD) » Assault on Precinct 13 (DVD)

Director John Carpenter's second film is a brutal, realistic story about the siege of a small police precinct by a violent and well-armed gang. The gang is seeking the man who killed some of their members in revenge for the accidental shooting of his daughter. After the father enacts his revenge, he wanders to the police precinct in a distraught state. The poorly manned precinct is being phased out of use, and is unprepared for the relentless assult which ensues. The violence in ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 was shocking for its time and has remained so over the years since its release, mainly due to the stark, unaffected direction of a young John Carpenter. Insipired by the cowboy and indian movies Carpenter watched as a boy, the film is more than just an action movie, as it shows the desperation and courage of people living in a violent society. Produced with a modest budget and without Hollywood backing, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is a fine example of how a powerful film can be made with limited resources.
