Buy Good Bye, Lenin! (DVD)

This culture-shock comedic drama takes a look at life in East Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Alex (Daniel Bruhl) dreams of being an astronaut while his high-strung mother (Katrin Sass) works tirelessly as a teacher and state official. She's so vehemently pro-socialist that when she glimpses her son getting arrested during a political protest, she falls into a heart-attack-induced coma and stays there through the raising of the iron curtain and the influx of West German capitalism. When she suddenly wakes up, Alex decides he has to keep the country's sudden change a secret from her, in order to prevent her weak heart from giving out at the shock. Lots of subterfuge and comedy ensues, and what ultimately emerges is a touching parallel between the outward economic change and Alex's own inability to grow up and let go of his own mother-dominated past for an uncertain future with his cute Russian girlfriend (Chulpan Khamatova). Director Wolfgang Becker cleverly incorporates archival news footage of the space race, riots, soccer matches, the fall of the wall, and the arrival of consumer goods en masse. The score by Yann Tiersen (AMELIE) is effective, and Sass earns high marks as Alex's keenly intelligent, heartbroken mother.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital - German

A lush, lyrical parable about the modernization of China, TEMPTRESS MOON is the story of Zhongliang (Leslie Cheung), a Shanghai gangster raised on the sumptuous rural estate of the powerful, opium-addled Pang family. As a boy, Zhongliang, promised the life of a student, becomes instead a servant for his sister and her drug-addicted husband and a playmate for Ruyi (Gong Li), the female heir to the Pang dynasty. A permanent outsider, Zhongliang escapes the painful decadence of the Pang household and becomes a smooth-talking mobster, seducing women in the jazz-saturated clubs of 1920s Shanghai, but he is forced to face his past when hired to seduce and abduct Ruyi in a criminal attempt to gain control over the now vulnerable Pang estate. What begins as a routine seduction becomes more complicated when Zhongliang finds himself unable to escape his true feelings for Ruyi and crippling memories of his painful childhood. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle revels in the eclectic visual spectacle of a tradition-bound China cracking and hatching its version of the jazz age. Li and Cheung turn in inspired performances, their palpable onscreen chemistry igniting director Chen Kaige's magnificently detailed historical epic.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: TBDAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

The BRD Trilogy - Criterion Collection (DVD) The BRD Trilogy - Criterion Collection (DVD) » The BRD Trilogy - Criterion Collection (DVD)

Insanely prodigious German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder directed over 40 films before his premature demise at 37. Although his entire output remains one of cinema's most influential bodies of work, his legacy can be most directly attributed to The BRD Trilogy (Bundesrepublik Deutschland)--THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN, VERONIKA VOSS, and LOLA. In telling the tales of three dynamic women, Fassbinder also managed to paint a portrait of postwar Germany that was at once dynamic, thrilling, and deeply personal.
