The disastrous effects of French colonialism are examined through the paradigm of a young girl's coming of age in French West Africa in Claire Denis' astonishing first film. As France, a woman traveling alone in Cameroon, slips into a dreamy and distant flashback, scenes of a makeshift existence come into focus. France's father, a district governor, and her fragile mother are living a relatively peaceful if somewhat strained existence when a plane carrying a gaggle of French imperialists and their entourage makes an emergency landing near their house. An ex-priest, a white plantation owner and his African concubine, and a newlywed couple are forced to stay with the family. The convergence of this motley crew forces tensions and troubles that were bubbling barely below the surface to silently erupt. Sexual tensions, as well as social and class struggles, explode, with expansive vistas of Cameroon as an astonishing yet innocent backdrop. The heat, the landscape, and the underlying and eroticized tension converge as the noble and austere houseboy, Protee, becomes the focus of France's memories and regrets.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.66Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

Set in turn-of-the-century Japan, the samurai cult classic LADY SNOWBLOOD stars Meiko Kaji as the avenging assassin Yuki, a young woman whose father is murdered and her mother raped and imprisoned by a sadistic gang of criminals. The prison-born Yuki is trained from birth to be a ruthless martial-arts killing machine bent on exacting revenge for her family`s sufferings--which she does, with bloodthirsty gusto. Adapted from a manga written by Kazuo Koike, the creator of the legendary LONE WOLF AND CUB series, this classic tale of female wrath incorporates montage sequences from the original comics and was the key influence to Quentin Tarantino`s KILL BILL opus.
