From the mind of Chiu Siu-Tung comes this parody of/homage to FIGHT CLUB. At Band 5 College, the students have organized an underground fight club to combat gangs and settle grudges man to man. Among the school's fighters a young man named Stone is the undisputed champion until he abruptly decides not to fight anymore. His departure leaves an opening for a new champ, and a dynamic young fighter named Mantis quickly takes his place on top. However, Mantis will not be regarded as the true champ until he can lure Stone back into the ring for a championship match and prove that he really is Band 5's top fighter.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseLetterboxedAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - Cantonese DTS Surround 5.1 - Cantonese Stereo - MandarinInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Fereshteh (Niki Karimi) is attending school away from home when she becomes prey for a maniacal stalker. Acting without understanding, her father summons her home where Fereshteh is then promised to a traditional man from her village. Her new home life is fraught with abuse while love is remarkably absent from the home of the newlyweds. This contrasts sharply with the life of Roya (Marila Zare'i), a friend of Fereshteh's who retains her independence by living in the city. Tahmineh Milani, who would later be imprisoned for the images in herfilms, wrote and directed this defiant picture, a

This unusual gem of a film is a gorgeously conceived and well-executed morality tale, narrated by a gory, blood-smeared, dying fish. This choice of a narrator may seem bizarre, and is certainly unusual, but somehow it works perfectly in the film--it creates a gothic fairy tale atmosphere, and adds a dash of humor to what is a difficult, grim story. The film begins with a graphic scene of the heroine, Bibi (Marie-Josee Croze), getting an abortion. Bibi`s guilt feelings are multiplied tenfold when on a rainy night soon thereafter, she accidentally hits a man and drives off, leaving him to die. Her sophisticated life as the successful owner of a chic boutique and heiress of a famous father`s fortune begins to swiftly and spectacularly unravel.

After she survives a suicide attempt, Bibi`s guilt has still not been alleviated, and she decides to track down the body of the man she killed.
At the morgue, she runs into the dead man`s son, who asks her to stay with him while he sorts through his father`s possessions. The son ends up falling in love with Bibi, but she remains consumed with guilt over what is now her terrible secret. All of the film`s acting, but especially the difficult part of Bibi, is done with beauty and sensitivity. The film`s lush photography at times hearkens back to director Villeneuve`s music video work, but its stylish quality always serves the story`s needs. This poetic tale of moral responsibility and despair is a uniquely haunting, must-see film.
