French philosopher-turned-filmmaker Bruno Dumont follows up his award-winning drama HUMANITE with the equally devastating TWENTYNINE PALMS. Dumont's self-professed experimental horror film follows a couple as they journey to the California desert town of Twentynine Palms and encounter true evil. David (David Wissack), an American photographer, and his Russian girlfriend Katia (Katia Golubeva), are scouting locations for an upcoming photo shoot. During the day, they drive David's Hummer into the expansive desert and roam freely, while at night, they argue in broken French and have animalistic sex. Eventually, their luck runs out, as the outside world catches up to them and causes their tragic demise.TWENTYNINE PALMS is a jaw-droppingly brash work of art. Dumont takes a stylistic cue from French master Robert Bresson, simplifying his filmmaking technique in order to ponder deeper issues of humanity (good vs. evil, love vs. hate, sex/life vs. death). The result is a truly challenging film, which will confound and anger as many viewers as it stimulates and thrills. Like Lars von Trier's DOGVILLE, TWENTYNINE PALMS will also be accused of anti-Americanism, but Dumont's message is clearly a universal one. He uses a sparse yet familiar American landscape to subvert viewer's expectations, building to one of the most shocking finales in cinematic history.

The Love of Jeanne Ney (DVD) The Love of Jeanne Ney (DVD) » The Love of Jeanne Ney (DVD)

Directed by the German master G.W. Pabst (PANDORA'S BOX), THE LOVE OF JEANNE NEY is one of Pabst's most satisfying and haunting films, and one that has only been available in a truncated form for most of the 20th century. Here, Kino on Video presents the film in its longest available version, complete with a full orchestral score. Set in post WWI Europe, the film stars Uno Hemming as Andreas, a young Bolshevik who murders his lover's uncle for an act of treason. He advises Jeanne, his lover, to flee to Paris and live with her uncle. However, the cunning Khalibiev has set into motion a plot to kill her uncle, marry her cousin, and wrest the family fortune from its rightful heirs. When Khalibiev does kill the uncle, he successfully frames Andreas for the crime causing Jeanne to ask his help in proving Andreas' innocence. Mixing the style of a Hollywood blockbuster with that of a classic German expressionist film, THE LOVE OF JEANNE NEY is a haunting classic.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

Kino-Eye/Three Songs of Lenin (DVD) Kino-Eye/Three Songs of Lenin (DVD) » Kino-Eye/Three Songs of Lenin (DVD)

This collection of the shorter works of Russian film pioneer Dziga Vertov is no less revolutionary or captivating for its short-form construction. Expanding upon the breathtaking and visionary exalted realism of MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA, Vertov approaches both history and the future in these enthusiastic films. KINO-EYE takes its name from the philosophy coined by Vertov and his fellow film explorers in their attempts to create a pure cinema in opposition to what they viewed as corrupt capitalist fiction films. A soviet village erupts through the screen, teeming with revolutionary energy and idealistic fervor as Vertov utilizes his signature fast-cut editing and such handmade special effects as reverse action and slow motion in order to evoke the spirit and ideals lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. THREE SONGS OF LENIN unfurls like an elaborated newsreel, portraying Lenin and his utopian vision of the Russian state through three songs, or episodes. Like a visual time capsule of a people's enthusiasms and hopes, THREE SONGS OF LENIN distills Vertov's triumphant aesthetic and political desires. Vertov's inventive technique and poetic vision create a transcendent vision of people and history through montage and a lyrical and thoroughly fresh take on narrative that still resonates in the 21st Century.DVD Features:Region 0 EncodingSnap Case

A stunning examination of the plight of five young Red Army recruits as they are subjected to both grisly violence and humiliating conditions, 100 DAYS BEFORE THE COMMAND is a visually stunning film that was initially banned in its native Russia. The controversy surrounding the film comes from the homoerotic imagery that permeates the film underscoring the intense bond between the young men and contrasting the violence they encounter. An excellent film from the post-cold war former Soviet Union, 100 DAYS is both powerful and uncompromising.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
