The adaptation by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe novel, set in Italy during the Napoleonic era, stars Isabelle Huppert as Carlotta, a woman who encounters Edward (Jean-Hughes Anglade), a man she had loved two decades before. The couple, delighted to find one another again, decide to marry, and live happily on Edward's remote estate. When Edward hears from his friend Otto (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), an architect, he invites him to come and spend some time at the estate. To balance the equation, Carlotta asks her teenaged goddaughter Ottilia (Marie Gillain) to join them. One night they read a text aloud which describes the way similar substances in nature are drawn to each other through elective affinities, and it's not long before the couples are enacting the theory. Edward and Ottilia find a natural attraction between themselves, as do Carlotta and Otto. The
visitors eventually depart, as does Edward, fulfilling his military duty. After some months, Carlotta bears Edward's child, whose appearance raises a number of interesting questions. Goethe's novel on themes of love, marriage, passion, and fidelity is given a sumptuous production by the directors, who elicit fine performances from their cast in a film which evinces the subtley and nuance that is typical of their work.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Full Frame - 1.33

Class Trip (DVD) Class Trip (DVD) » Class Trip (DVD)

Based on an acclaimed novel by Emmanuel Carrere, the French psycho-thriller CLASS TRIP plunges viewers into the mind of an emotionally damaged child. Nicholas (Clement van den Bergh) is a shy, socially isolated schoolboy teased by classmates, dominated by an overprotective father (Francois Roy), and frighteningly plagued by nightmarish visions of death and disaster. On a class trip to the French Alps, Nicholas finds himself befriended by the school bully Hodkann (Lokman Nalcakan), who is intrigued by his strange classmate's dreams and hallucinations. When local police find a dead child in the woods--murdered and horribly mutilated--Nicholas senses a connection between the crime and his visions, and sets out to find the killer with the help of his new friend. Writer/director Claude Miller (L'EFFRONTEE, ALIAS BETTY) makes perfect use of pristine cinematography and a haunting orchestral score to create a mournful meditation on the loss of childhood innocence.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAdditional Release Material: Trailer Bonus TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Features
