In a loosely structured series of dreams, sexual fantasies, memories, premonitions, and surreal images, director Istvan Szabo enters the minds of the residents of a Budapest apartment building set for destruction. 25 FIREMAN'S STREET is a creatively ambitious attempt to do nothing less than provide a visually emotive history of Hungary from the rule of the Hapsburgs to the aftermath of the Russian invasion in 1956. Each character--including a woman whose husband is dying, a young man who loves two women, and a soldier who fears he'll die in the war--is given a different cinematic feel, tied together by the absurdist dramatic influence of Eugene Ionesco, another Hungarian storyteller.Unlike Dusan Makavejev in Yugoslavia, whose films such as WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM also deal with life under communism through the use of surreal fantasy, Szabo has the unique ability to connect character and personality to dreamy sequences that might otherwise become meaninglessly ethereal. This is not history writ large with great battle scenes and thousands of extras; rather it is an attempt to elucidate that picture not by telling a lot of individual stories in the historical sense but by going within those stories to show people's unfulfilled hopes, nightmares, and memories. The result is a moving, sometimes haunting film that takes the viewer within the psyche of the Hungarian people.DVD Features:Region (Unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Musical star Mike Burstyn plays the title character, a confused simpleton, in the Israeli comedy TWO KUNI LEMEL (aka SHNEI KUNI LEMEL). Kuni Lemel is recruited by the local matchmaker, who has been given the task of finding a suitable husband for his boss' daughter, Ganor, while also trying to find a spouse for his own daughter. Kuni bears a striking resemblance to Ganor's boyfriend, whom her father has rejected, and is manipulated into courting the girl so that she can continue to see her true love secretly. This musical comedy of errors was so popular in Israel that it spawned two sequels and the name Kuni Lemel became part of the cultural idiom there.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - HebrewAdditional Release Material: Trailers
