Zhang Yang, the award-winning director of 1999's SHOWER, recreates the powerful story of Chinese actor Jia Hongsheng in the fascinating and thought-provoking QUITTING. Jia was a modestly successful breakout Chinese star in the late 1980s and early 1990s, appearing in such films as SUMMER EXPECTATIONS and SILVER SNAKE MURDERS as well as the award-winning and controversial FROZEN. In 1992, Jia starred in a stage production of KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, directed by Zhang, and was introduced to heroin--which he embraced wholeheartedly. The dementia that stemmed from his addiction resulted in a closed-off existence in which there was room only for the Beatles song Let It Be and little else.QUITTING is not a documentary; Zhang brings back all the principals, who play themselves. Thus, when Jia's parents retire early in order to move in with their son (and daughter) to take care of him, the pain and frustration is being relived for the screen scene by scene, making for an uncomfortable yet remarkable and original format in which to watch this family struggle to save a child yet again. This story of isolation and drugs is also a metaphor for what occurred during the cultural revolution in the 1980s and 1990s as Chinese youth experienced more of what the West has to offer, with all its bright high points and dark low valleys.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - ChineseAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

The film that introduced brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani to a worldwide audience, an adaptation of Gavino Ledda's autobiographical PADRE PADRONE: THE EDUCATION OF A SHEPHERD, stars Severio Marconi as the the young Ledda. When he is only seven years old, the boy's harshly patriarchal father (Omero Antonutti) hauls him off
to the craggy hills of their native Sardinia, to live and work as a shepherd, the father's occupation. The father beats the boy virtually at a whim for committing the slightest error, and his cruelty is never softened by any demonstration of love. Solace comes only in the form of isolation since camaraderie with neighboring shepherd boys angers the father. When he is 20 years old, Gavino's liberation comes, ironically, in the form of military conscription. For the first time in his life, he's able to mix in society and lead something close to a normal life. Eventually he discovers his calling in the academic world, and goes on to become an outstanding linguist. After many years, he again sees his father, an embittered man, incapable of understanding his son's life. While at times lacking in cinematic fluency, the enormous power of this seemingly simple story makes up for any shortcomings.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingInteractive MenusProduction CreditsFilmographiesScene AccessKeep Case

In this French suspense drama directed by Anne Fontaine (DRY CLEANING), Charles Berling stars as Jean-Luc, an established physician whose comfortable, middle-class existence is thrown into turmoil by the reappearance of his absentee father Maurice (veteran French actor Michel Bouquet). Maurice had abandoned his family decades earlier to practice medicine in Africa, and Jean-Luc still harbors hurt and resentment at his father's unexplained rejection. Now Maurice is back in his son's life, but rather than offer remorse and reconciliation, the father casts a cruel and judgmental eye on the bourgeois existence Jean-Luc has chosen for himself. What ensues is an oedipal tangle in which Jean-Luc can no longer avoid confronting his own past and the emotional damage that has shaped his life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.
