Paul Wegener and Stellan Rye's THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE is one of the earliest silent horror films, following Georges Melies' horror shorts and Thomas Edison's 1910 version of FRANKENSTEIN. The film, which is based on the Faust legend, along with Wegener's three versions of THE GOLEM, directly influenced future German horror films (THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, NOSFERATU). Balduin (Wegener) is the best student and swordsman in Prague, but he confides to creepy, mysterious Scapinelli (John Gottowt), that he really desires money or a rich heiress. Balduin fortuitously saves Countess Margit (Grete Berger) from a riding accident, and instantly falls in love. Margit doesn't love her fiance, the Baron (Fritz Weidemann), but Balduin's poverty discourages him from pursuing her. One day, Scapinelli appears in Balduin's room offering riches in exchange for something in the student's room. Balduin eagerly signs the proffered contract, but is shocked when Scapinelli takes his image from the mirror. Only the smitten gypsy girl Lyduschka (Lyda Salmonova) realizes the true gravity of the situation until Balduin's doppelganger begins wreaking havoc. Wegener's gripping horror classic features strong performances, lovely location shooting and some surprising special effects for such an early film.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

In an effort to counterbalance the dark and heavy mood that has infested Eastern European cinema after the breakup of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, writer-director Srdjan Karanovic made LOVING GLANCES (SJAJ U OCIMA), a romantic comedy that examines the troubled region with feelings of hope rather then despair. Labud (Senad Alihodzic) is an ethnic refugee in search of his old girlfriend when he meets and falls in love with Romana, even though the recent war had made their ethnic groups mortal enemies. LOVING GLANCES explores the Yugoslav society after the collapse of the country, but does not dwell excessively on the war, choosing rather to focus on the way such turmoil affected regular people trying to go about their lives. The film was shown at the 2003 Venice Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Lion, the festival's highest prize.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreenAdditional Release Materials Director's StatementText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes
