Seijun Suzuki, the legendary Japanese director probably best known for the cult hit BRANDED TO KILL, returns with this movie about a league of killers of hire. Something of a sequel to BRANDED TO KILL, the film stars Makiko Esumi as a killer named Miyuki Minazuki but known as Stray Cat the number three assassin in Japan's professional killer guild. As in its predecessor, number three is contacted by the guild and ordered to kill number one. Knowing that if she succeeds she will become number one, Miyuki embarks on a difficult and dangerous mission to kill the elusive number one. Told in Suzuki's trademark style that blends a fractured narrative with lurid and heavily stylized action sequences, PISTOL OPERA is another brilliant work from a great director.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

A suicidal woman meets up with an insurance agent whose failed attempts at literature are among the factors leading him to a mid-life crisis.
The unlikely pair go out for dinner where the truth rules outthat the woman's suicide attempt was a stunt to attract customers. Stunned by her story, the man offers his new friend a lump sum in exchange for her story, the perfect material for a novel.Eliseo Subiela (MAN FACING SOUTHEAST) has specialized in unusual works, and this work of magical realism could be the most outrageous film of the Argentine director's career. Actor Lorenzo Quinteros in the lead role is a perfect allegory for Subiela himself, as he takes brutal realism and turns it into something fantastical.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Keiko, a young, newly hired weather woman, is eager to give her channel's flagging ratings a boost. She decides a panty shot might do the trick, so during her forecast she lifts her skirt, thereby capturing the attention and the hearts of viewers. Keiko's stunt creates such a stir of excitement over the weather report that viewers begin religiously turning in to see what she'll do next. However, this showboating routine earns the ire of Kaori, the beautiful and ambitious daughter of JTV's chairman. Jealous of her success and aching to take over the weather report, Kaori is willing to do just about anything to get what she wants. A truly bizarre film that suggests a marriage between a Russ Meyer and John Waters film, WEATHER WOMAN is a fine cult comedy.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: (unspecified) - Japanese, English Subtitles - English - Optional
