French filmmaker Olivier Dahan directs this sequel to international hit CRIMSON RIVERS; the script, based on a novel by Jean-Christophe Grange, was adapted by Luc Besson (THE FIFTH ELEMENT). The creepy, fast-paced narrative follows police detective Pierre Niemans (Jean Reno), who this time undertakes an investigation of a monastery in the Lorraine. His team uncovers a corpse hidden in the wall, and this raises suspicions of ritual murders. Meanwhile, police captain Reda (Benont Magimel) has picked up a mysterious and confused man who has the same DNA as Jesus Christ. Niemans and Reda team up, and soon their path leads them to the dark organization known as the
Angels of the Apokalypse,
where the evidence is mounting that the end of the world is nigh.

A meditation on revolutionary fervor, adapted from the Tolstoy story by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, THE DIVINE AND THE HUMAN stars Guilio Brogi as Giulio Manieri. An aristocrat by birth, he is the impassioned leader of an anarchist movement in 1875 Italy. When his threadbare forces are defeated in the attempted takeover of a village, Guilio kills the mayor with a Parthian shot. Although condemned to die, the anarchist has his sentence changed to life in prison by the governor, who is trying to avoid creating a martyr. Locked in solitary confinement, Giulio makes the hours pass by fantasizing about a glorious future in which his actions will be regarded as heroic, even holding imaginary conversations with fellow partisans who assure him of his place in the pantheon of anarchism. After a decade of incarceration, Giulio boards a boat to be relocated to another prison, and encounters a younger group of dissidents, who have foresworn his brand of revolutionary extremism for a more pragmatic, reformist politics. Naturally, this comes as a sobering revelation to the firebrand. A distanced contemplation of revolutionary politics, ST. MICHAEL HAD A ROOSTER is a powerful, meaningful film.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Full Frame - 1.33

Argentine director Juan Jose Campanella's Oscar-nominated film is a low-key comedy drama, enhanced by compelling performances from a gifted cast. Middle-aged Rafael Belvedere (Ricardo Darin) yearns for the carefree days of his boyhood, playing Zorro and watching old TV shows with his best friend, when any grief could be dispelled by a batch of his mother's fresh-baked cookies. At age 42, Rafael is busy running the restaurant he inherited from his parents, successful but dissatisfied with his life. He can't come to terms with the crippling Alzheimer's from which his once-vibrant mother (Norma Aleandro) suffers, and he feels overwhelmed when his aging father (Hector Alterio) asks him to help arrange a second marriage to his wife of 44 years to give her the kind of wedding she always wanted. After suffering a heart attack, Rafael decides it's high time for a change. He will sell the restaurant and retire to Mexico. This means abandoning not only his career, but his parents, his young daughter (Gimena Nobile), and his girlfriend (Natalia Verbeke). However, with the advice and counsel of his childhood friend, Juan Carlos (Eduardo Blanco), Rafael begins to realize that severing the ties that bind him to his loved ones might be harder than expected.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection
