Another gem from the world of Iranian cinema, UNDER THE MOONLIGHT is a thought provoking look at religious mores from director Seyyed Reza Mir-Karimi. Seyyed Hassan is a student who is deeply emerged in his religious studies; he hopes to become a cleric after sitting the necessary exams. But a run-in with a thief, who steals Seyyed's vestments, leads him into a whole new world that challenges all the teachings that he has absorbed over the years. Following the thief, he enters into a poverty-stricken world that is in direct contrast to the lessons he's learnt in class. Suddenly feeling at odds with the religion he has slavishly poured over for years, Seyyed finds himself faced with a tough decision about whether to continue. A hugely affecting film, UNDER THE MOONLIGHT opens up an important discourse on matters that affect Iranian citizens on a daily basis, but are too frequently swept under the carpet in an attempt to shy away from the failings of a society that all too often clouds its true problems via religious dogma that no longer has relevance to many of its citizens.

This comedy from Poland follows a man who is mistaken for a genius director but is actually a con artist working the perfect scam. Preying on innocent folk who have dreams of acting superstardom, he works with his trusty cinematographer (who also knows nothing about the craft of film) in order to earn a living. KITSCH is a hilarious satire that takes a jab at the pretentiousness that tends to pervade the film business.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case

The notorious Bruno Mattei (HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD) directs this post-apocalyptic horror movie. Here, a group of bikers discover an abandoned lab that contains some valuable goods such as food and water, but also is home to a race of super intelligent vermin who feed on human flesh. RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR is. of course, full of its director's trademarks like over the top gore, laughably bad dialogue, and ludicrous special effects making it quite possibly the funniest movie about giant killer rats ever made.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurette - 1.Hell Rats Of The Living Dead TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Biographies - 1.

Assisted by a cane, the unidentified lead (Alejandro Ferretis) of JAPON limps through a desolate canyon in his trademark red flannel jacket searching for deeper meaning. He has arrived at this remote Mexican location, escaping the city to paint and find the kind of serenity only nature can provide. Here he stays with Ascen (Magdalena Flores), an elderly woman who cooks for him and cleans his shirts. Ascen has lived on the land for forty years, but her nephew Juan Luis (Martin Serrano) is now reclaiming the land. Juan Luis intends to demolish a building which protects Ascen's modest dwelling, so he can collect money for the stones that hold up the structure. As the unidentified painter tries to get Ascen to fight for her home, he develops a sexual desire for his elderly host.The importance of nature is prevalent throughout Carlos Reygadas' meditative work. Long, luminous takes allow thoughtful reflection as the film takes both its viewers and its protagonist on an existential journey. Adding to the languid beauty of the film is Arvo Part's moving score.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Documentaries - 1.
