Filmed in Beijing and New York, FLEEING BY NIGHT tells the story of Shaodung (Lei Huang), an American-educated cellist who returns to China for his arranged marriage to Ing'er (Rene Li) the daughter of a wealthy opera house owner. Once back home, however, Shaodung finds himself drawn to singer Lin Chun (Chao-te Yi), whose impassioned rendition of the opera Lin Chun Flees By Night strikes a deep chord in both him and his fiancee. The three become friends, with Ing'er unaware of the deeper attraction between the men. Unfortunately Chun is trapped in servitude to the master of the company, who pimps him out to a rich playboy (Lai-jen Tai), and Shaodung is deeply closeted, which hinders him from acting on his desires. Set primarily in the late 1930s (but ultimately spanning decades), the film effectively uses China's pre-revolution cultural contrasts to parallel its characters' own identity crises. Directors Li-Kong Hsu and Chi Yin allow the story and performances to unfold deliberately and delicately. Homoerotic content is fairly minimal in the film, which focuses more on rich period detail and how the joys and sorrows of love can shape the course of personal histories.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - MandarinInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

Acclaimed director Adolfo Aristarain's COMMON GROUND provides a compelling mix of family drama and biting social commentary. When his university suggests that aging Literature professor Fernando Robles (Federico Luppi) retire, they intend it as more than mere suggestion. The downward-spiraling economy plaguing Argentina in the early 21st century caused mass unemployment, and the middle-class could not count themselves as secure in their economic status. Fernando and his wife Lili (Mercedes Sampietro) confront this reality pragmatically, but the stress and conflict greatly test their marriage. The family's economic worries also take their toll on Fernando's relationship with his son Pedro (Pablo Rago). Though Fernando refuses assistance, he resents his son for moving away from Argentina when it most needs resourceful citizens. The drastic changes that Fernando and Lili must make resonate universally, and illustrate the difficult balance struck between government, industry, and individual well-being.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseAnamorphic Letterboxed Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - SpanishAdditional Release Material: TrailerInteractive Features: Weblinks Subtitle ControlText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies

PERSONA is an intense and unsettling study of the symbiotic relationship between Alma, a nurse (Bibi Andersson), and Elisabeth (Liv Ullmann), an actress who has mysteriously lost the power of speech. To bring about her patient's recovery, Elisabeth's doctor asks Alma to accompany her to a private cottage by the sea. In this isolated setting, the two women fall into a strange state of codependency laced with jealousy and resentment--and eventually, their identities begin to merge. PERSONA is considered one of Ingmar Bergman's greatest cinematic accomplishments and should not to be missed by anyone seriously interested in film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - Swedish Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
