Lukas is a pacifistic young man, fulfilling his civil service obligation by delivering food to the elderly rather than spending time in the military. While on the bus, a mysterious but beautiful woman, Isabella, drops a note into his lap. This strange encounter leads Lukas to follow Isabella around, and the two begin a bizarre, uncommunicative but strangely intimate relationship. Growing frustrated, Lukas begins to suspect Isabella's stepfather of a terrible crime, and takes a drastic step towards punishing him. GUN-SHY (SCHUSSANGST) is a study in modern alienation, shot in a distancing style to reinforce its theme, and was a hit on the European film festival circuit.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Surround - GermanText/Photo Galleries Director's Statement

Filmmaker Costa-Gavras (MAD CITY, MUSIC BOX, MISSING) has a reputation for controversial political cinema, and he does not fail to raise eyebrows with AMEN. Focusing on the Vatican's unwillingness to oppose the Holocaust, and two men who tried to change the system from within, AMEN is adapted from the play THE REPRESENTATIVE by Rolf Hochhuth. It is based on a true story about officer Kurt Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur), a Nazi soldier who moved up the SS ranks by devising a chemical method to purify soldiers' drinking water. Gerstein is unaware of the horrors of the concentration camps until he is recruited by The Doctor (Ulrich Muhe) to adapt the same chemical for use in the gas chambers. Though Gerstein is overwhelmed by the reality of the impending massacre, he does not turn a blind eye. He informs the Swedes, the German Protestant Church, and even the Vatican. But he is sent away, dismissed, and otherwise silenced by all but the tenacious Father Riccardo Fontana (Mathieu Kassovitz), a fictitious character based on a number of priests who fought against the Holocaust. Father Riccardo takes life-threatening risks in a fruitless effort to convince the cardinal (Michel Duchaussoy) and the Pope (Marcel Iures) to rise above their fears of Nazi retribution.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Additional Release Material: Making-of Featurette - 1.
