One of the greatest and most ambitious cinematic achievements, Krzysztof Kieslowski's THE DECALOGUE consists of 10 short films inspired by the Ten Commandments. Each film takes place in and around the same area of late-20th-century Warsaw, provoking timeless ethical and moral questions for this era. Specifically, the films address personal issues dealing with family, friends, love, life, and death. Winner of awards from the Venice, Sao Paulo, and Cannes film festivals and originally made for Polish television, Kieslowski's masterwork has been screened all over the world to international acclaim. The video release will give viewers the opportunity to revisit each episode and discover characters from the other films that pop up in the background of the current story and might also help to better explain the mysterious presence of Artur Barcis, a quiet onlooker who might be an angel or a devil. Kieslowski, collaborating with cowriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz, has made a series of films that feel small and intimate yet are actually epic commentaries on modern human existence, making THE DECALOGUE a lasting work of art.DVD Features:Region 0Keep Case - Box SetFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Stereo - Polish

Another Lonely Hitman (DVD) Another Lonely Hitman (DVD) » Another Lonely Hitman (DVD)

Director Mochizuki Rokuro cut his teeth doing Japanese porn films before turning his attention to focus almost exclusively on the Yakuza genre, to which, with ANOTHER LONELY HITMAN, he brings a deft touch of surprising subtlety, and infinitely compelling characterizations. A gritty tale of an old-fashioned hitman's crusade to maintain the traditional Yakuza values of old, the titular character is played with a nuanced complexity by Ryo Ishibashi in his breakout role. As a young Yakuza, Tachibana Takashi pulled off an important hit on his very first time out, killing the boss of the rival Hokushin gang. He committed an error, however, due to the fact that he was on heroin, and was subsequently convicted and imprisoned for 10 years. Upon his release, he is welcomed back into the arms of the Hirakawa family, but things have changed a great deal in the intervening period, and not to Tachibana's liking. The rival gangs now settle their differences through the exchange of money, and make their living in such undistinguished professions as pornography, extortion, and drug dealing. When Tachibana defends an abused prostitute against her pimp, he inadvertently reawakens the old familial feud, and he must fight the bosses on both sides to purge the underground of its new business methods, reinstating the old codes of gangster life. Through a veneer of ultraviolence that warrants comparison to acclaimed director Takashi Miike, a multifaceted portrayal of the complexities of morality emerges in the well-drawn character of Tachibana. He is at once brutally cruel and sensitive, an essentially ethical creature in search of salvation, the harsh realities of which are offset by the conscious lack of artistry in the film's construction, with the lack of beautification a parallel to the moral decay with which Tachibana is surrounded.
