A neverending visual feast of strikingly beautiful images--from a stone chateau looking over the ocean in the English countryside to the grand art ateliers and beautifully decorated parlors of Paris--Francois Truffaut's TWO ENGLISH GIRLS is the story of the lovely Anne (Kika Markham) and her intriguing little sister, Muriel (Stacey Tendeter), who invite their Parisian friend Claude (Jean-Pierre Leaud) to spend one summer with them in England and then spend the rest of their lives wrapped up in their changing relationships with him. That first summer, while painting canvases by the sea, playing lawn tennis, having lively games of charades in front of a majestic fireplace, the threesome becomes quite close. Despite Muriel's weak emotional and physical health (including damaged eyes that cause her to sometimes wear a macabre bandage across her face) and Anne's overprotectiveness, the banal scenario becomes rather interesting as the randy trio becomes more and more engrossed in their romantic games, leading to numerous turns in the story. An analytic narrator keeps the action on track, while the majority of the tale is told in voice-overs by the characters, who are constantly writing personal letters to each other or pouring their hearts out in their diaries. The narrative style of TWO ENGLISH GIRLS follows the traditional format of a Jane Austen period piece, while its emotionally complex story line, symbolically loaded cinematography, and attention to famous works of art--especially Rodin--give it an intellectual sophistication and a seductive sheen. Like the similarly themed JULES ET JIM, Truffaut's film is once again based on a novel by Henri-Pierre Roche.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseSpecial Features: Production Notes, Scene Access, Filmographies/Awards, Extra Truffaut Trailers

The internet turns deadly at a university in Salamanca, Spain, where a meticulous murderer selects his victims virtually according to a pattern known only to him. That is until newly-arrived architecture student Alex (Silke) stumbles upon a pattern to the killings: the victims are chosen after exams are held, and those who score poorly are murdered.
Alex begins her search to uncover the killer, using only her knowledge of art history as her guide, and a classic slasher films turns into a smart whodunnit, with stellar performances turned in by Fele Martinez (THE ART OF DYING) and Maribel Verdu (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN).

In a small Peruvian town, Natalia, a woman in her twenties is married to the town's 60-year old mayor. Extremely bored, she does little but attend Mass and religious processions. She left a convent at 17 to marry him under the strict rule that he would allow her to remain chaste. Unbeknownst to her, however, he gives her sleeping powder at night so that he can rape her as she sleeps. Excitement enters her life, though, when the elderly town priest steps down and is replaced by Santiago, a handsome young man in his 30s. Natalia finds herself falling in true love for the first time in her life, and Santiago must choose between religion and passion.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull FrameAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers
