Buy Lucrezia Borgia (DVD)

Abel Gance, master of large-scale historical epics, focuses on the murderous Italian clan of the Borgias in his renaissance saga LUCREZIA BORGIA. The three children of the corrupted Pope, Alexander VI (Roger Karl)--Cesar (Gabriel Gabrio), a power-hungry barbarian; Jean (Maurice Escande), a jaded, limp-wristed dandy; and the scheming, love-crazed Lucrezia (Edwige Feuillere)--treat 15th-century Rome as their personal debauched playground. When Niccolo Machiavelli (Aime Clariond) decides that savage Cesar is his ideal prince, he begins to influence the Borgia clan to aid a murderous play for domination, his complex scheme depending heavily upon whom Lucrezia chooses to wed. Meanwhile, the Borgia's power begins to slip as the family's increasing outrages are matched by the citizenry's rising disdain. A religious zealot, Savanarole (Antonin Artaud in a small but pivotal role), decries the Borgias' corruption and eventually leads a revolt against the Pope and his brood.The scandalous doings of the Borgias, replete with extravagant orgies, elaborate murders, poisonings, and rapes are compellingly detailed by Gance with his signature stylized editing and evocative cinematography. As in NAPOLEON and BEETHOVEN, Gance uses history as a springboard from which to construct elaborate cinematic visions of the rise and fall of charismatic leaders, doomed geniuses, and beautiful heroines.DVD Features:Region 0Full Frame - 1.33Single Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono 1.0 - FrenchInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

The final collaboration, following PANDORA'S BOX, between G.W. Pabst and Louise Brooks, the American silent film star whose look defined the Jazz Age, DIARY OF A LOST GIRL is a similarly lurid tale of a young woman's life. Brooks stars as Thymiane, a young girl life whose life collapses when she is raped and made pregnant by her father's young assistant. After a reform school escape she ends up in a brothel, which, ironically, leads her to a salvation of sorts.

Beautiful Boxer (DVD) Beautiful Boxer (DVD) » Beautiful Boxer (DVD)

Based on a true story, BEAUTIFUL BOXER tells the tale of Nong Toom (Asanee Suwan), a professional Muay Thai kick boxer who turns his desire to be a woman into a marketable gimmick by wearing makeup in the ring. As narrated to a reporter (Keagan Kang) shortly before his long-awaited sex change operation, Toom's life story is alternately funny, moving, thrilling, and straight-up bizarre; we see him growing up in a rural Thai province, concealing his love of make up and flowers, training to become a Muay boxer under the patient tutelage of his mentor (Sorapong Chatree), and rising through the ranks thanks to a natural grace and ferocious technique. This film is a success on all counts, anchored by a sweet and unshowy performance by real-life kickboxing star Suwan. The Muay Thai boxing matches are exciting, and the gender-identity issues are presented with sensitivity and wit. There are many large crowd scenes, some crazy dream sequences, and a surreal career-ending match in Japan against lady wrestling champ Kyoko Inoue (as herself). This is one of many great films to come out of Thailand in early 2000, establishing its director, Ekachai Uekrongtham, as a major talent. ItAes is in Thai, English and Japanese with English subtitles.
