Italian director Matteo Garrone (THE EMBALMER) returns with PRIMO AMORE, a harrowing psychological drama about a truly dysfunctional man. Vittorio (a striking Vitaliano Trevisan) is a goldsmith who has issues when it comes to finding a partner. A perfectionist at heart, Vittorio can't seem to find a woman that fits his ideal in body and mind. However, when he meets Sonia (Michela Cescon), he thinks he's found his dream girl. The only problem is that, according to Vittorio, the already thin Sonia could afford to lose a little more weight. What begins as a mutually loving relationship quickly descends into a nightmarish depiction of male cruelty, with Vittorio tormenting, bullying, and forcing Sonia into an anorexic state.Known more for his writing than his acting, co-writer Trevisan is devastating as the terrifying but charming Vittorio, which adds another layer of depth to the already murky proceedings. As the tortured, innocent Sonia, Cescon delivers a brave, heartbreaking performance. In the tradition of THE PIANO TEACHER and IN MY SKIN, PRIMO AMORE is a horror film in the guise of a psychological drama, featuring stellar cinematography from Marco Onorato and a haunting score from Italian musicians Banda Osiris.

Director Alex de la Iglesia has become a cult figure in his native Spain for his stylish genre parodies. In 800 BULLETS, he waxes nostalgic about an era in Spanish filmmaking long gone, when Westerns and epics used the landscape of Spain for their vast background vistas. The film centers on Carlos, a rambunctious youth who ditches a school field trip to find the grandfather that his uptight mother has hidden from him. Carlos finds the old man a relic of his former self: whereas he was once a top Spaghetti Western stunt-man, he is now reduced to running a tawdry little western theme park for tourists. But Carlos' appearance fills the old man with some of his youthful vigor; while Carlos himself finds in his grandfather an appealing entry into the corrupt adult world. 800 BULLETS was a huge success in Spain, where it received four Goya Award nominations and took home one of them.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.35Additional Release Material: Featurette- 1.
