For the 2000 SEEN BY... series, in which six directors filmed their vision of the night of December 31, 1999, Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi offers this tragic love story. Set in a Hungarian coal mining town, Tamas is a shy young miner who falls for Juli, but finds it hard to express his feelings for her. They plan to spend New Year's Eve together, but those plans are thwarted when Tamas is assigned to work that night. Juli, however, takes it upon herself to go to the mine on New Year's Eve to celebrate with Tamas. Shot against the contrasting backdrops of a noisy, dirty, and dangerous coal mine and the eerily peaceful snow covered countryside, TAMAS AND JULI is a beautiful tragedy.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies& AwardsDVD-ROM Features: Weblink

Kinji Fukasaku's (BATTLE ROYALE) revered gangster series is a landmark of 1970's Japanese cinema. Set just after WWII and based on the memoirs of a real-life crime boss, these films serve to deglamorize the traditional cinematic portrayal of organized crime, instead painting its members as petty, backstabbing thugs who will turn on their closest allies for power or profit. The story follows the violent exploits of Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara), a former soldier, as he joins a yakuza gang in post-bomb Hiroshima. From there, he weathers a brutal series of events, including jail terms and pulling off hits of rival gang members, on his shaky journey through the ranks.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.35Additional Release Material: Theatrical TrailerText/Photo Gallery: Filmography - 1.
