In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a shadow warrior. However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader.KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshiro Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also features the final screen appearance of longtime Kurosawa actor, Takashi Shimura. In order to help the film get an international release, Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas served as executive producers.DVD Features:Region 12-Disc SetWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Stereo - JapaneseAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Going Places (DVD) Going Places (DVD) » Going Places (DVD)

With an original title named after the French term for male genitalia (LES VALSEUSES), Bertrand Blier's early feature lets viewers know right away what they're getting into. For better or worse, Blier doesn't disappoint. Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere star in Blier's bawdy comedy as Jean-Claude and Pierrot, two drifters who roam about stealing and taking whatever women they want, usually by force. Apparently on a search for nothing in particular except to flout bourgeois values whenever possible, the shameless duo finds targets wherever they turn (including two of France's most prominent actresses, Jeanne Moreau and Isabelle Huppert). Eventually, the two stumble across an unlikely comrade in Marie-Ange (Miou-Miou), a taciturn hairdresser who exerts an oddly calming influence on the rambunctious pair. A daring blend of freewheeling comedy, rampant sex, and unabashed misogyny, Blier's film is not for the timid, but for those who like their humor crude and graphic-and who want to see Depardieu and Dewaere going head-to-head--GOING PLACES certainly won't disappoint.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic - 1.66Audio: Mono - French, English Subtitles - English - OptionalAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Director Matej Minac's first feature, ALL MY LOVED ONES, tells the story of a Czech-Jewish family during World War II and how Nicholas Winton, a man who saved hundreds of Czech-Jewish children, helped to rescue them from the Nazis. As in many Holocaust stories, Minac's feature combines elements of heroism, pure horror at the events in question, and complex personal emotions. This tale of survival and an ordinary person working to do good in the face of evil, and at great personal risk, is inspiring, if a bit familiar.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: TrailerInteractive Features: Subtitle Control Weblinks
