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. This 6-Disc box set includes all 5 films in the series, plus a bonus disc of supplemental material.DVD Features:Region 16-Disc SetWidescreen - 2.35Additional Release Material: Featurette - 1.

This Italian film from Giuseppe Tornatore is reminiscent of his earlier homage to the undying magic of cinema in 1989's CINEMA PARADISO. In 1953 Sicily, movie-mad con artist Joe Morelli (Sergio Castellitto) hatches a lucrative scam after he finds a U.S. Army camera and some film stock. He wanders the beautiful countryside and encounters its friendly residents, offering to give them all screen tests--for 1,500 lire a pop.These humble folks embrace the idea and reveal their dreams and regrets as if the camera is their priest. Tornatore's use of actual Sicilian townspeople in many of these scenes lends an incredible honesty and realism to their captivating tales of love, death, and desire for freedom. Their thoughts are etched on their expressive and well-worn faces. Joe's scam takes an unexpected turn when the openness and honesty of the townsfolk stirs something foreign in him--his conscience. When he meets Beata (Tiziana Lodato), a gorgeous young woman raised in isolation in a village convent, Joe is truly captivated, and loses himself in his new protege. Beata is a true beauty and she is photogenic and captivating on screen. She desires fame and fortune, and believes Joe can make her a true star. Together with Beata, Joe travels the small rundown villages of Sicily, selling dreams of fame. This simple film is a love letter to the enduring power of cinema and the flights of fancy that can be captured in the simple stories of individuals everywhere.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

One of Lucio Fulci's more obscure movies, HOUSE OF CLOCKS was produced for Italian television in 1989. Though one might think this would force the director to cut back on his trademark gore, this film certainly isn't for the squeamish. In it, a group of young thugs break into the home of an elderly couple who collect clocks with the intention of robbing them blind. However, though the couple seem an easy target, the young toughs find themselves entering deeper and deeper into a terrifying nightmare after they have murdered the couple, whose clocks begin to turn back time for the thieves and exact a horrifying revenge on them. Playing out like a Lucio Fulci version of a TWILIGHT ZONE episode, HOUSE OF CLOCKS is sure to please fans of the late auteur.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Stereo - Italian Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
