Fitzcarraldo (DVD) Fitzcarraldo (DVD) $26.19 » Fitzcarraldo (DVD)

Director Werner Herzog returns to the exotic locales and obsessive themes of previous works in his Amazon masterpiece, FITZCARRALDO. Klaus Kinski gives a terrifying and determined portrayal of mad genius Fitzcarraldo, whose twin goals of making a fortune off the Amazon rubber trade and bringing an opera house to the jungle give the film its crushing centerpiece--the maniacal leader's Sisyphean efforts at hauling a gigantic steamship over a mountain bank. The single-minded and wickedly energetic Fitzcarraldo moves mountains (and a boat) with his will and along the way acts out a stunning and emotional battle between man and nature, as in the similarly themed Herzog/Kinski collaboration AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD.Herzog's razor-sharp attention to the minutiae of both Fitzcarraldo's madness and the jungle's corresponding apathy and enormity makes the film a breathtaking metaphor for civilization's impact on the natural world. The documentary style of the film (the cast and crew actually hauled the boat over the mountain) gives the tale an urgency and suspense that, combined with Kinski's bravado performance and Herzog's striking sense of landscape, make FITZCARRALDO an unforgettable experience.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85:1AnamorphicAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround - English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround - GermanAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - Werner Herzog - Director

Boris Pasternak's epic tale of star-crossed love during the Russian Revolution is remade for the television screen in this British miniseries, the first film adaptation of DOCTOR ZHIVAGO since David Lean's legendary 1965 feature. This version casts Hans Matheson (THE MISTS OF AVALON) as the title character, a doctor and poet torn between the love of his faithful wife Tonya (Alexandra Maria Lara) and the passion of his muse and mistress Lara (Keira Knightley, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM), herself the wife of a political revolutionary. Their love affair plays out against the wars and upheavals of czarist Russia until they--and the nation--are finally and irreparably altered by the advent of the Russian Revolution. This retelling of the literary classic is scripted by celebrated screenwriter Andrew Davies (BRIDGET JONES' DIARY) and features Sam Neill in a chilling performance as Lara's villainous tormentor Komarovsky.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep Case2-Disc SetAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Production Interviews - 1.

Traffik (DVD) Traffik (DVD) $26.19 » Traffik (DVD)

TRAFFIK is the 5 1/2 hour British miniseries that provided the basis for Stephen Soderbergh's Oscar winning film TRAFFIC, and its length provides it with an opportunity to delve more deeply into the drug trade and addiction, making it a far more complete film than its Hollywood incarnation. TRAFFIK tells three stories; one is an exceptional look at the poppy fields and heroin cartels of Pakistan, where the beauty of the poppy fields is juxtaposed with the squalor of the slums inhabited by the workers who harvest the crop. Another takes place in England and stars Julia Ormond as the drug addicted 16 year-old daughter of British cabinet minister Jack Lithgow (Paterson) and depicts the depths of heroin addiction. The third stars Lindsay Duncan as the wife of a rich German drug smuggler who has just been busted, shattering the pretenses of her upper class life and driving her to continue her husband's trade. Finally, these three disparate stories are tied together by two German narcotics agents named Dieter and Ulli, who, along with a host of couriers, provide a very unnerving look at how heroin travels from Pakistan to Europe. Intricately detailed and emotionally devastating, TRAFFIK is a thoroughly engrossing miniseries that easily surpasses the excellence of its American cousin. Contains additional material not shown in the PBS Masterpiece Theatre broadcast.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull FrameAdditional Release Materials: Interview - 1.
