Kinji Fukasaku's (BATTLE ROYALE) revered gangster series is a landmark of 1970's Japanese cinema. Set just after WWII and based on the memoirs of a real-life crime boss, these films serve to deglamorize the traditional cinematic portrayal of organized crime, instead painting its members as petty, backstabbing thugs who will turn on their closest allies for power or profit. The story follows the violent exploits of Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara), a former soldier, as he joins a yakuza gang in post-bomb Hiroshima. From there, he weathers a brutal series of events, including jail terms and pulling off hits of rival gang members, on his shaky journey through the ranks.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.35Additional Release Material: Original Theatrical TrailerText/Photo Galleries: Filmography - Kinji Fukasaku Yakuza Family Tree

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
