With THE MIRROR, legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky crafts perhaps his most profound and compelling film. What started off for Tarkovsky as a planned series of interviews with his own mother evolved into a lyrical and complex circular meditation on love, loyalty, memory, and history. Time shifts and generations merge as a single extraordinary actress (Margarita Terekhova) plays the narrator's former wife as well as his mother. Tarkovsky's memories as well as those of his mother are intermingled as a dark, sumptuous, and dreamlike pre-World War II Russia is evoked, accompanied throughout by the voice of Tarkovsky's father reading his own elegiac poetry. The spectacle of nature and its ubiquitous and ever-shifting presence is captured by Tarkovsky's camera as if by magic--the family cabin nestled deep in the verdant woods, a barn on fire in the middle of a gentle rainstorm, a gigantic wind enveloping a man as he walks through a wheat field--all creating indelible images with deep if mysterious emotional resonance. As the timeline shifts between the narrator's generation and his mother's, newsreel footage of Russian wars, triumphs, and disasters are juxtaposed with imagined scenes from the past, present, and future, crafting a silently lucid cinematic panopticon of memory, history, and nature.Yellow Electronic Subtitles

Mademoiselle (DVD) Mademoiselle (DVD) » Mademoiselle (DVD)

Jeanne Moreau stars as the eponymous schoolmistress of a small French village, to all appearances a repressed, young spinster, yet she's consumed by a sexual hunger that provokes her to secret acts of violence and random destruction. In poisoning the animals' drinking water, opening the floodgates to drown them, and setting fire to barns and homes, she experiences the sexual fulfillment otherwise denied her. The angry townspeople, mystified about the source of the crime, would like to scapegoat recent arrival Manou (Ettore Manni), a virile woodcutter who is the foreman of a crew of Italian laborers. He is already deeply resented by the local men because most of the village women are in thrall to his overpowering sexual magnetism, the secretive Mademoiselle most of all. Manou sports with some of the women but ignores Mademoiselle. Enraged by his indifference, the teacher leads him into the fields and seduces him by licking his hands and boots and crawling on all fours. Later, she returns to the village, her clothes in a ragged state, and claims that the woodcutter is guilty of rape. Jeanne Moreau is brilliant in director Tony Richardson's wickedly naughty film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailer - 1.

In this steamy Spanish love story directed by Bigas Luna (JAMON JAMON), sexy young Marina (Leonor Watling), falls for gorgeous literature teacher Ulises (Jordi Molla) who arrives in town and takes a room at her parents' humble boarding house. On long walks through the hills in Valencia, Spain, bordering the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, Ulises recites passages from Virgil's THE AENEID, eventually winning Marina's heart. A shotgun wedding is quickly followed by the birth of their son, Abel (Ricky Colomer). Financially encumbered, the couple is nonetheless happy, and Ulises has a small fishing boat that he takes for joyrides on the bay. On her daytimes apart from Ulises, Marina is followed and fawned over by local business typhoon Sierra (Eduard Fernandez), who will stop at nothing to have her. One day, Ulises sets sail in his little boat for a midnight cruise, is caught in a storm, and disappears. Grief-stricken Marina settles into an ironically comfortable, pampered life with the disgustingly rich Sierra. Five years later, Marina answers the phone and hears a familiar voice at the other end: Ulises has returned. Will she go back to him and follow her passion? Or will she resist returning to her true love for the sake of her five-year-old child?DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Trailers Featurette - 1.
