Almost four decades before creating his Poppea Monteverdi wrote in the preface to his fifth book of madrigals The modern composer must create his works solely on the basis of the truth - a credo to which the music of his final opera is utterly faithful.Poppea is a potent work from opera's first true creator and pioneering genius. The fact that at the close of this highly charged 'dramma in musica' he allows evil to triumph over good (albeit temporarily) has frequently led to his being decried as amoral.Monteverdi's timeless masterpiece which creates a deep involvement in performers and audiences alike is brilliantly captured in this High Definition live recording of Pierre Audi's moving and beautifully style production from Het Muziektheater Amsterdam in 1994.
Three giants of world cinema conspire to bring the dark prose of Edgar Allan Poe to the screen in Spirits of the Dead.

Another interesting erotic horror/thriller from infamous French director Jean Rollin. Inspired by the 1930s classic The Mask Of Fu Manchu this is a rare departure for Rollin from his usual vampire-themed tales. Filmed on location in Paris Rolling mixes themes of adventure crime and mystery with comic book dialogue and throws in some sadistic sex for good measure.
Features eight movies. In '12:01 PM' a man is forced to consult a physicist when he finds himself stuck in the same 59 minutes of his life. Also features: 'A Hard Rain' 'Bufford's Got A Gun' 'Leslie's Folly' '15th Phase Of The Moon' 'Heart Of The Deal' 'Astronomy' and 'The Great O'Grady'.
A late addition in the Jean Rollin collection Dracula's Fianc''e has everything you might expect from the master of surreal horror and so much more! Mad chain-smoking nuns raging dwarf-jesters vampires she-wolves baby-eating Ogresses and wizards galore as a professor and his young assistant on the hunt for Count Dracula's remains are thrown into a surreal parallel universe. Reminiscent of his 1970s classics Dracula's Fianc''e is Rollin's homage to past successes such as Requiem for a Vampire and Lips of Blood. A stunning master presented with a new and exclusively shot interview with the director on his life and work make this release a must for cult horror fans.
Set in 1916 Jean Rollin's seductive erotic horror tells of a thief who takes refuge in an old castle only two find that the two shapely female owners are the head of a vampiric cult of blood-sucking aristocrats who long for his flesh in more ways than one!
A pair of society women dressed in all their finery stand in the middle of an abattoir, animal carcasses hanging behind them and blood splashed across the floor. Giggling and fidgeting, they drink their prescribed glass of ox blood. The startling, unreal image of high-society manners in the midst of gore and death pitches Jean Rollin's 1979 feature Fascination into a turn-of-the-century culture come unhinged. When a well-dressed rogue, fleeing from angry partners he double-crossed, takes refuge in a lavish, moat-protected mansion, servant girls Franca Mai and Brigitte Lahaie cajole, tease and seduce him into staying for their night-time soiree. "You have stumbled into Elizabeth and Eva's life, the universe of madness and death", mutters one of them as they await the cabal where he is the guest of honour. Shot on a starvation budget and populated with stiff performers, Rollin's direction is arch and at times sloppy and his story never more than an outline. It's the mix of dreamy and nightmarish imagery that gives Fascination its fascination: blonde Lahaie stalking victims with a scythe, the bourgeois blood cult swarming over a fresh victim like wild animals, alabaster faces streaked in blood. While it lacks the delirious spontaneity of his earlier vampire films Shiver of the Vampires and Requiem for a Vampire, the languid pace and austere beauty creates an often-mesmerising fantasy. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
