In his directorial debut, famed Japanese personality Takeshi Kitano (acting under the alias Beat Takeshi) plays Azuma, a brutal but honorable cop at the end of his rope. Azuma's trying daily routine involves dealing with a naive new partner and caring for his drug-dependent, mentally challenged sister. When a friend on the police force is killed and his sister is kidnapped by drug dealers, Azuma begins walking a mercilessly vengeful path that leads to a shocking finale.VIOLENT COP is a stunning first feature from Kitano, who took over for veteran director Kinji Fukasaku after he left the project. Primarily known as a television comedian, Kitano rewrote the script to better suit his surprisingly dark vision of the film, which serves an intriguing introduction to his unique directorial style, combining scenes of extreme violence with beautifully meditative shots. Elevating the then-waning yakuza genre to a more artistic level, Kitano's film is a landmark in late 20th century Japanese cinema.DVD Features:Non-Violent CoverRegion 0Keep Case

Banned in Russia for over a decade for its blasphemous portrayal of Nicholas II, Elem Klimov`s (COME AND SEE) intense drama brings to life the controversial figure of the
mad monk
who wielded a legendary power over the royal family. Klimov`s portrayal is indeed an indictment of the ruling class, depicting the Czar (Anatoli Romashin) as an ineffectual ruler blindly led by the charismatic, power-hungry Grigory Rasputin (Aleksei Petrenko), while the politically decrepit aristocracy degenerated into decadence and hedonism. Arriving at court with a strange healing power that many attributed to hypnotism, Rasputin was the only person capable of treating the Tsar`s young heir, stopping his uncontrollable bleeding later recognized as hemophilia. Once his place in the palace was secure, however, the monk embarked upon a downward spiral of sexual vice, drunkenness, and violence that made him many enemies among society`s upper echelons. Eventually deciding that Rasputin`s power threatened the security of Russia`s monarchy, a group of noblemen plotted a demise that would enter history as one of the most fabled murders of all time. Petrenko`s performance is nothing less than spectacular, channeling the spirit of Rasputin in a chillingly apt depiction of insanity.
