It is caravan time in Dolpo, high in the Himalayas of Nepal. The villagers must trek for days across the mountains with laden yaks to trade their salt for grain. But when Karma (Gurgon Kyap) returns to the village with the body of Lhakpa, leader of the caravan and son of the old chief Tinle (Thinlen Lhondup), the new chief blames Karma for the death, and will not allow him to lead in Lhakpa's place. Though Tinle's grandson, Tserin (Karma Wangiel), is far too young to lead the tribe, Tinle simply renames him Passang--a chief's name--and prepares him to lead the caravan. Karma challenges Tinle, threatening to take away the yaks, Lhakpa's widow Pema (Lhapka Tsamchoe), and Passang before the day that the caravan begins. Old Tinle in turn visits the monastery to gather his son, Norbou (Karma Tenzing Nyima Lama), a frescoe-painting monk, to join him on the caravan. But Norbou refuses to join his father, and Tinle returns to the village to discover that Karma has left early, taking most of the caravaneers with him. Tinle, Pema, Passang, the late-arriving Norbou, and the old men of the village leave on the scheduled day, and leading their own caravan in an effort to end the rivalry that threatens every resident of Dolpo.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35:1Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - Tibetan Subtitles - English - OptionalAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Set in 1940s France in the moments before the German occupation of Paris during World War II, Jean-Paul Rappeneau's lively farce BON VOYAGE combines a murder mystery, a political drama, and a series of madcap subplots including a secret scientific discovery and a gathering of socialites at Bordeaux's Hotel Splendide. The result is a picturesque period piece full of energy, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Dynamic performances from an all-star cast that includes Gerard Depardieu, Isabelle Adjani, and Gregori Derangere complete this delightfully pert film.Forced to flee Paris as the Germans advance, a mismatched group of oddly acquainted personalities reassemble in Bordeaux. Viviane (Adjani) is a stunning film actress whose talents are used both on-screen and off. She swiftly seduces the French prime minister, Beaufort (Depardieu), on the eve of WWII--a convenient catch in wartime. However, her former flame Frederic (Derangere), who Viviane neatly framed and sent to prison for a murder she committed, is now free and is still pursuing her. Frederic's jailbreak buddy Raoul (Yvan Attal), is also in tow, with nothing but trouble up his sleeve. Meanwhile, a pretty physics student, Camille (Virginie Ledoyen) tempts the hearts of both ex-cons, while protecting her professor and their scientific discovery, which must not fall into German hands. Waiting on the wings is the suspicious journalist Winckler (Peter Coyote), whose sneaky demeanor is only matched by Thierry (Nicolas Vaude), the revenge-crazed nephew of the man Viviane murdered.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - French

A bitingly critical satire about Israeli society, SIMA THE WITCH (SIMA VAKNIN MACHSHEFA) is the debut film from writer-director Dror Shaul. Sima Vaknin is a kindly grandmother with the uncommon ability to bestow curses and blessings on her fellow Israelis. But when her friends and family discover this unusual power, they seek to manipulate Sima and use her for their own ends. Actress Tiki Dayan was nominated for an Israeli Academy Award for her performance as Sima. Nothing and no one is safe from Sima's powers or director Shaul's critical eye in this black comedy.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - HebrewAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
