Buy Prisoner Cell Block H - 25th Anniversary Edition (DVD)

Australian television was considerable brightened by the arrival of PRISONER CELL BLOCK H in 1979. Although the activities in a women's prison might sound like grim subject matter, the show carried a neat dose of kitsch value, thanks to some poorly constructed sets, and storylines which were often unfathomable. But this was coupled with an innovative--and daring for the time--use of lesbian characters, violence, and drug mishaps. Presented here are some of the best episodes from the show, beginning with four installments from the early days, which helped establish some of the key characters. Secondly, a major plot development is ushered in via a terrorist siege that took place in the prison, and finally the conclusion of the show is rendered in dramatic style, with a huge riot breaking out. Fun and dramatic in equal measures, PRISONER CELL BLOCK H attracts a hardcore legion of devotees who will doubtless be delighted with this 25th anniversary celebration of the show.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Interview: 1.

Distant Journey (DVD) Distant Journey (DVD) » Distant Journey (DVD)

A fascinating movie that was shot in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Alfred Radok's DISTANT JOURNEY was a bold feature film that tackled the holocaust in a time when people were still shocked and appalled at the Nazi's activities. Radok's film was swiftly banned by authorities who struggled to find any worth in his work. The plot followed a family in Prague as they succumb to the Nazi threat and attempt to stay alive. Brutally shot, the documentary-like feel of the film lends an air of painful reality to DISTANT JOURNEY, making it unbearably poignant in places. A hugely moving piece, Radok's film finally takes its rightful place in cinematic history with this release, which is sure to please cinema scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Second World War.

A Very Long Engagement (DVD) A Very Long Engagement (DVD) » A Very Long Engagement (DVD)

This World War I mystery finds limitless beauty in the nostalgia of loss. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, whose whimsical AMELIE riveted audiences, A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT also stars Audrey Tautou--the 21st century's Audrey Hepburn--in the stubbornly emotional role of a widow in denial. Here she is Mathilde, a waifish young woman with a pronounced limp from childhood polio. Living with her quirky aunt and uncle in a farmhouse by the sea, and waiting desperately for her fiance Manech (Gaspard Ulliel) to return from the war, she believes that if he were truly lost she would feel it in her heart. Thus, when the bad news arrives--Manech and five fellow soldiers were exiled to No Man's Land for shooting off their own fingers in hope of being discharged--Mathilde refuses to believe he is dead. Instead, she begins her own investigation into Manech's infantry, hiring a private detective and tracking down the wives and girlfriends of each of Manech's compatriots. Conducting countless interviews, Mathilde pieces together Manech's war stories--which are told in earthshaking flashbacks involving gruesome explosions, flying guts, and massive suffering. And yet, the all-in-this-together humanity of these awful scenes, and the heartfelt bravery with which Mathilde absorbs the details of each battle, is undeniably moving. Jodie Foster appears as Elodie, one of the widows, in a charismatic yet muted performance and with a flawless accent. However, the most intriguing of the widows is Tina Lombardi (Marion Cotillard), a thrilling dominatrix-assassin bent on avenging her lover. A timeless masterwork that raises the bar for breathtaking camerawork, vivid landscapes, and fantastical storytelling, A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT is adapted from the novel by Sebastien Japriscot.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreen2 Disc Set
