Aglaja 2012
This film is about the relationship of a mother and her daughter, the split-up of their family, the blessing and curse of belonging together and about coming of age - all this from the perspective of the young girl Aglaja. The story is based on real-life events, an Eastern European circus artist family that fled to the West. If they want to stay in the circus business they have to make up an exotic act. The mother spends all their money to buy a very dangerous act: hanging by her hair high up in the dome of the circus while juggling with burning torches. Every night Aglaja is terrified by the fear of losing her mother. As she grows, she observes the members of her refugee family that shatter like glass as they try to make a new life abroad, their interdependence, the joys and tribulations of holding onto one another and their eventual break-up.

The Complete Films of Agnes Varda
Though often overshadowed by her male counterparts, the Belgian-born Greek-French filmmaker was a New Wave innovator who left a vibrant body of work, all of it restored and available in a new collection. All thirty-nine films from the French cinema icon including essential classics, shorts, documentaries, and multimedia works, together for the first time.

A founder of the French New Wave who became an international art-house icon, Agnes Varda was a fiercely independent, restlessly curious visionary whose work was at once personal and passionately committed to the world around her. In an abundant career in which she never stopped expanding the notion of what a movie can be, Varda forged a unique cinematic vocabulary that frequently blurs the boundaries between narrative and documentary, and entwines loving portraits of her friends, her family, and her own inner world with a social consciousness that was closely attuned to the 1960s counterculture, the women's liberation movement, the plight of the poor and socially marginalized, and the ecology of our planet.

As Criterion did with their 2018 box set, Ingmar Bergman's Cinema, they have chosen not to present these films in strict chronological order. Instead, each of the set's 15 discs has a theme. As one progresses through all these discs, the connections between the films -- and not only those that have been included together -- become clearer. This makes Agnes Varda's output feel like one large, multi-part artwork.

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Tramontane 2016
Tramontane can mean “northern wind”, but is also the name of the lead character; in Arabic it is Rabih. The blind Lebanese singer and musician Barakat Jabbour plays Rabih, a young man who is – like the actor himself – blind and a talented musician. When Rabih is invited to tour Europe with his group,he goes to the authorities to request a passport but they inform him that his current ID might be a forgery. Rabih thus asks his mother, Samar (Julia Kassar), to help find his birth records so he can apply for new papers, but they seem to be missing too. Not having a birth certificate isn’t as unusual in Lebanon as it might be elsewhere, since many official records were lost in the country’s various wars. But when Mom admits she’s unable to do a blood test to establish their familial relationship, things start to unravel...

Noble 2014
The only news you hear on TV is how our world is turning from bad to ugly, how the kindness and humanity of people disappears leaving only ashes. But how many of us ever heard of Christina Noble, who saved over 700,000 Vietnamese children including the street ones?

As a young girl in Dublin, Christina (Gloria Cramer Curtis) suffered incredible hardships, witnessing the death of her mother and the absence of her father (Liam Cunningham). Left to care for her family, Christina experienced poverty firsthand, relying on her love of singing to keep up the fight. In her teenage years, Christina (Sarah Greene) continued down a path of horror, trying to preserve her sanity through conversations with God as she endured a sexual assault and a troubling marriage. In 1989, satisfying a craving to visit Vietnam, Christina (Deirdre O’Kane) discovers a nation in need, observing local children struggle to survive in a manner familiar to her. Setting out to make a difference, Christina uses her natural moxie to bend the government and persuade oilman Gerry (Brendan Coyle) to help finance shelters, only to discover a deeper evil facing the youth of Vietnam.

Ishiro Honda Double Feature: The H-Man / Beauty and the Liquidman (1958), Battle in Outer Space (1959) 2 x Blu-Ray Eureka – Masters of Cinema

Ishiro Honda Double Feature
Ishiro Honda lived a long and eventful life that saw him forge a really remarkable career in the Japanese film industry. Though being at least intermittently associated with such legends as Akira Kurosawa, Honda may forever be best remembered for his relationship with another "legend" of sorts: Gojira. Honda was instrumental in developing what a lot of folks think of as the "modern" kaiju film, having not just helmed the first (and several subsequent) Godzilla outings, but also Rodan and Mothra. While all of those kaiju entries probably at least flirted with a science fiction ambience, Honda also made films which were inarguably firmly within a sci-fi idiom, including The Mysterians, as well as both of the films Eureka! Entertainment's Masters of Cinema series has aggregated together here in this release.

Hasta la memoria siempre, Jorge “El Tigre” Cedrón: obra completa restaurada (Complete restored work of Jorge Cedron): El habilitado (1971), La vereda de enfrente (1963), Operación masacre (1973), El otro oficio (1967) 2 x DVD9

Hasta la memoria siempre, Jorge Cedron
Jorge "El Tigre" Cedrón was the author of a handful of titles, rebellious and controversial, they suffered disparate fates until finally, more than three decades later, this work puts them in a deserved place, that of memory, the product of several years of contacts and searches, research and interviews, with the fundamental objective of those in charge of rescuing his complete work in restored copies.

"Hasta la memoria siempre" brings together the seven films made by Cedrón and that the Argentine filmmaker managed to disperse in the suitcases of his friends before going into exile in France to protect them from official censorship. "La vereda de enfrente" (1963), "El otro Oficio" (1967), "El habilitado" (1970), "Por los senderos del Libertador" (1971), "Operación masacre" (1972), "Resistir" (1978) and "Gotán" (1979) make up the filmography of the filmmaker and leftist activist. The history of the films and how they survived the destruction by censorship of the time is in itself worthy of a film.

British Musicals of the 1930s Volume 4
From playful romantic comedies to variety extravaganzas, the pre-war British musical films offered audiences a source of much-needed escapism throughout the decade haunted by the Great Depression and the growing menace of war.

Often adapting much-loved hits of the music hall as well as serving as vehicles for the era’s composers, performers and band leaders, they showcased home-grown talent alongside some of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.

This ongoing, multi-volume collection makes available a wealth of rare gems from the very earliest days of the British talkies, many of which have remained unseen since their original release. Volume 4 features four rarely screened films from the decade, each of them presented uncut, in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Star 80 (1983) DVD5

by movieworld on February 21st, 2021 at 18:27
Posted In: .Other movies, Biography, Drama

Star 80 1983
The true story of the tragedy of Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten. She was discovered as a teenager in Vancouver by Paul Snider, who became her boyfriend. Snider mailed photos he had taken of her to Playboy, resulting in her being offered to pose as a Playmate and eventually becoming the 1980 Playmate of the Year. As Dorothy’s star started to rise and she was offered film parts, Snider’s various business ventures started to go under and he became increasingly more controlling and jealous of her, culminating in her murder and his suicide.

Star 80 is one genuinely creepy and disturbing movie. This is not a movie for everybody. If you want to see a bubble-headed bimbo bounce around the Playboy mansion, watch The Girls Next Door. If you want to see a movie about obsession and depraved madness that pulls absolutely zero punches, check out Star 80 instead.
