Tresors du cinema Yiddish
Témoignage d’un monde disparu, le cinéma yiddish représente un patrimoine artistique et historique exceptionnel. Lobster Films propose un coffret DVD comprenant 4 films emblématiques du cinéma yiddish en version restaurée : Mir Kumen On / Nous arrivons (1936), Dybuk / Le Dibbouk (1937), Tevya the Milkman / Tevye le laitier (1939) et Lang iz der Weg / La Route est longue (1949).

Nous les avons restauré pour faire revivre les images, et entendre à nouveau les mots, les sons et les ambiances d'un monde qui a perdu sa voix. Dans ces témoignages précieux, certains reconnaîtront des images d'enfance, des liens avec des origines racontées, des éclats de vie où sourient ceux que l'on a pas connus. Ces films sont un voyage dans le temps, souvent produits avec des moyens modestes et dans des conditions terribles... mais ils sont là. Simples. Sincères. Quatre grands films, quelques courts métrages invisibles et des rires d'enfants. Un tout petit moment d'éternité, tout simplement.

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) 2 x DVD RUSCICO, Blu-Ray Artificial Eye, 2 x DVD and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Stalker / Сталкер (1979) DVD9 + DVD5 RUSCICO
Andrei Tarkovsky was a Russian director who made slow paced, hypnotic films filled with beautiful images and thought provoking themes. His masterpiece is Stalker, one of the most gorgeous and entrancing films ever made. This is really a film that defies description. A science fiction film, a philosophical drama, and a metaphoric excursion, Stalker is all of this and yet so much more. A film that is more experienced than just viewed, this is a must-see for anyone interested in film as an art. Based on the novel The Roadside Picnic (1972) by Arkadi & Boris Strugatsky.

Something happened. Maybe it was aliens landing. Or maybe it was a meteor strike. But something happened and The Zone was created, an area where things don't work as you'd expect them to, where the laws of physics are out of whack. People started disappearing in The Zone and so the government sent in the army to investigate. They were never heard from again. Ever since that time The Zone has been cordoned off with sever penalties for going into it.
People still go into The Zone however, mainly because of The Room. In the center of The Zone, as the story goes, there is The Room which will grant those who enter it their deepest wish. To get to this miraculous place is impossible without an experienced guide, known as a stalker. As the movie begins a famous author, burned out and cynical, and a scientist, quiet but rebellious, (who are known only as Writer and Professor throughout the film) hire Stalker to lead them through the dangers of The Zone. Each of them have their own reasons for going, including Stalker himself, and their journey isn't without peril and danger. Along the way this trio is forced to look at themselves and each other and examine their hopes, dreams, and beliefs. What is worth risking your life for?

Worlds on Film: Beyond Genres volume 5: Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1989) Blu-Ray Umbrella Entertainment

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds 1989
A candle-lit hut in the Australian middle of nowhere acts as a home for a couple of siblings, Betty (Melissa Davis) and Felix (Michael Lake), raised by the Christian fundamentalist father who bequeathed them with countless crucifixes of all kinds and sizes hanging around as the only pieces of bric-a-brac. Combined with the aftermath of an unspecified cataclysmic event, the heritage has taken its toll on the flighty sister, whereas the disabled brother clings to the sole non-religious book they have - The Birth of Flight. His passion for aviation (that rendered him cripple) turns into obsession after the arrival of an enigmatic stranger, Smith (Norman Boyd), who intends to cross over the mountains to the north, even if he has to fly. Much to Betty's disapproval rooted in the belief that the interloper is a demon, the two men begin to work on a contraption that will help them overcome the dire situation.

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance

The Princess Bride 1987
A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay.
A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook — which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic.

The Testament of Professor Dowell 1984
The film is based on the popular science-fiction novel “Professor Dowell's Head” by Russian writer Alexander Belyaev.

Professor Dowell is a scientist toiling in a secluded laboratory in the tropics. He’s been conducting experiments on animals in a quest to find the secret of immortality. Dowell, it seems, has nearly reached his goal, but is killed in a car accident.

Dowell’s uppity assistant Dr. Korn caused the accident, and is looking to use the professor’s discoveries for his own diabolical ends. This he does by severing Dowell’s head and keeping it alive through state-of-the-art methods developed by the professor. Korn also utilizes a Dowell-created mind probe he hopes will divulge his master’s secrets.

Meanwhile, Professor Dowell’s grown son is prowling the area, convinced his father’s death was no accident...

Stare povesti ceske / Old Czech Legends (1953) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Artus Films, DVD5

Posted In: .Other movies, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, History

Old Czech Legends 1953
Old Czech Legends was based on the 1894 book Ancient Bohemian Legends by Alois Jirasek.

Divided into seven parts, it takes us way back to the mythological foundation of the Czech nation. It opens with a dramatic note of despair as a tribe is mourning the death of their kind and noble leader, Forefather Cech. In a flashback, we see how they came to the Vltava after a long and arduous journey and rested near Rip mountain. Cech scaled the mountain alone and saw the bounteous and beautiful land all around him, and declared that this was the place for his people. In gratitude, they insist on naming the country after him.

While this early Bohemia is portrayed as a promised land for the Czech people, it is also a wild and dangerous place, thick with mysterious forests where magical creatures and ferocious beasts lurk...

The next stories follow the legendary rulers of Bohemia, from Cech’s successor, Krok, to a terrible battle between Prince Neklan’s people and a savage invasion from a neighbouring clan. We also meet the fair and wise Libuse, who is great at settling disputes between quarrelling clansmen.

Posted In: .Other movies, Asian, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror

Rubber's Lover 1996
Often interpreted as a prequel to 964 Pinocchio, Rubber's Lover details a clandestine group of scientists who believe they have found a way to create the perfect super human with psychic capabilities by injecting captive human guinea pigs with ether and subjecting them to metal torture. The whole project is riddled with problems however as one of the scientists becomes hooked on the ether, and the projects investors want to shut them down. It isn’t long before the scientists last shackles of sanity are completely shed in what can only be described as a pus drenched industrial orgy of noise and death.

Like many of the Japanese cyberpunk films of the 1990’s, Rubber’s Lover focuses upon themes of transhumanism and explores it through ideas of post-human sexuality, fetishism and death, all set against a grimy industrial noir background.

SexWorld / Sex World (1978) DVD5 VCX, Blu-Ray Vinegar Syndrome

Posted In: .Other movies, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

SexWorld 1978
WESTWORLD was for children, FUTUREWORLD was for teenagers, but... SEXWORLD is definitely for ADULTS!
Instead of simply lampooning the 1973 hit "Westworld", 1978's "Sex World" attempts to use the unforgettable premise to inspire a surprisingly sophisticated adult movie.

One of the late, great Sam Weston's (aka Anthony Spinelli) most revered films, SexWorld begins when a group of men and women from various walks of life board a bus bound for the titular resort. Once onboard, a guide with a goofy accent (Sean Desmond) fills them in – see, they’ve all sent in applications in hopes of being accepted to the exclusive SexWorld, a land where sexual fantasies are made into sexual realities – and obviously as they’re on the bus, they’ve been accepted.

As we travel to the resort, we learn why some of them wanted to go. Fantasies include, rape, rough sex, incest and interracial.

Of course, as all of our participants live out their erotic dreams, we see both the good and the bad materialize in the ramifications of their actions, leading to a bit of fairly well played drama in between the various scenes of hardcore couplings.

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.
