In perhaps his most intriguing and streamlined film, dedicated to the subject of criminal masterminds and their underground workings, Fritz Lang's SPIES follows the machinations of the wheelchair-bound master criminal, the great Haghi, as he dictates criminal orders from his headquarters deep in the belly of the city. When Haghi sends forth female agent Sonja to seduce and trick secret agent 236, Tremaine, the two unexpectedly fall in love. Haghi did not suspect that these rival agents would go astray, and he is enraged that they are endangering his plot to take over the world.Many of the standard conventions of spy thrillers find their genesis in SPIES, including femme fatales, the crippled arch criminal and a last minute countdown to destruction. As Haghi's minions square off against the police and the secret service, attempting to steal a secret treaty, Lang mixes a pulp detective sensibility with the visual tricks, painterly aesthetics and narrative ingenuity of German Expressionism, creating a visually stunning and fast paced portrait of a master criminal and the seedy underworld of Germany between the wars.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Text/Photo Gallery: Rare Production Photgraphs

Part of a series in which a German television station asked a number of directors to envision what they thought might happen on December 31, 1999, Miguel Albaladejo's film is a celebration of life in and around Madrid, Spain. The film is ostensibly about the efforts of a poor couple, the pregnant Paloma and her husband Miguel, to get from their small town on the outskirts of Madrid to Paloma's parents' house for New Year's Eve. However, the film uses this as a setup for a chance to have Paloma and Miguel interact with and observe a number of eccentric and colorful characters. As entertaining and absorbing as the characters who populate it, THE FIRST NIGHT OF MY LIFE is an offbeat pleasure.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies& AwardsDVD-ROM Features: Weblink
