In the midst of a heated battle during the American Civil War, three Union soldiers and three Confederate soldiers get separated from their units and wander alone through the wilderness until they meet by night on the banks of a creek. Unaware of their political differences, the six exhausted soldiers strike up a friendship, sharing food, conversation, and a common humanity as they huddle around the campfire. It isn't until the first light of morning that the soldiers see each other's uniforms and realize they are enemies, setting the stage for a violent confrontation made even more tragic by their night of friendship. With striking cinematography by Stephen Lyons and strong lead performances by DJ Perry and Brian Merrick, writer/director Kevin Hershberger's WICKED SPRING brings an intensely human dimension to an epic chapter of U.S. history.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Possibly the best of the universally excellent films produced by the American Film Theatre, producer Ely Landau's program that allowed moviegoers to subscribe to film versions of classic plays, Peter Hall's THE HOMECOMING is a magnificent adaptation of Harold Pinter's play. In it, a successful philosophy professor named Teddy (Jayston) braces himself to return to his North London home for the first time in nine years to introduce his wife Ruth (Merchant) to his family. Unfortunately, this family consists of an assortment of abusives and miscreants that make the atmosphere very uncomfortable for Teddy and turns his wife into the catalyst for a multitude of conflicts.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Additional Release Material: Interview - 1.

Director Henry Jaglom presents an insider's look at the Cannes Film Festival with his 13th feature, a fictional piece with a documentary style and feeling. Set at the 1999 festival in the sunny, glamorous gleam of the French Riviera and the hub of celebrity and fame at the Hotel de Cannes, the film's atmosphere is an essential element of understanding its characters. Drunk with excitement, hope, and deal-making glitz, a small group of filmmakers and stars wade through the day-to-day chaos of the event. Former actress Alice Palmer (Greta Scacchi) has written a beautiful screenplay for an independent film about an older woman. Seeking funding and a leading actress, Alice meets Kaz (Zach Norman), a sleazy and overbearing financier who makes her skin crawl, but promises her $3 million. She also meets the reserved, graceful, and brilliantly coy actress Millie Marquand (Anouk Aimee), who falls in love with the screenplay. But Millie is being heavily recruited by flashy producer Rick Yorkan (Ron Silver), who promises her a fantastic financial reward to play a small cameo in a Hollywood Tom Hanks film. Meanwhile, Millie's estranged husband, Viktor (Maximilian Schell), a womanizing director, is gallivanting around the festival trying to advocate the value of art films as compared to Hollywood studio films, while also searching for the perfect deal regardless of artistry. A dizzying portrait of a world where everyone has a hidden agenda and a dozen handy lies tucked up their sleeves, FESTIVAL IN CANNES paints a cynical, but perhaps honest, portrait of the film industry.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection
