• The Escapees | DVD | (09/02/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The escapees is aside from Rollin's adult title La Comtesse Ixe one of Rollin's most obscure and rare films having only ever been released on video in Canada and Turkey in miniscule numbers. This release marks both its DVD debut and the first time that it is being seen in its correct state as the master for this release was created from the original negative and supervised throughout its creation by Rollin himself. The film is at times brilliant and at others maddeningly frustrating as Rollin's story of two wayward girls on the run from an institution wanders from the fantastic to the farcical and back again. Written by Rollin and Jacques Ralf an associate brought in by the financiers The Escapees contains all the magic and fairytale qualities of films like Fascination and Requiem For A Vampire but somehow never quite reaches their brilliance. That said The Escapees has everything one expects from a Rollin film including two beautiful young women scenes of death burlesque shows in a junkyard and Brigitte Lahaie!

• Girl On A Motorcycle | DVD | (01/09/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Caught midway between 1970s soft-porn clunker The Story of O and Bunuel's sado-masochistic fantasy Belle de Jour, the 1968 erotic curio Girl on a Motorcycle is one of Marianne Faithfull's chief claims to notoriety. She stars as Rebecca, a leather-clad, former bookstore clerk in search of sexual fulfilment who flees her dependable schoolteacher husband for a dangerous liaison with Daniel (Alain Delon), a dashing Professor addicted to speed. The story is told entirely in flashbacks as Rebecca rockets along the road, having donned her leathers and walked out on her sleeping husband at the crack of dawn. It all must have seemed fairly daring and provocative in 1968, providing viewers with ample opportunities to view a naked Faithfull at the height of her allure. But today the existential musings of the lead character seem achingly pretentious, the erotic symbolism merely gawky and unintentionally amusing: the sight of Alain Delon with a phallic pipe dangling from his mouth is like something out of a Rene Magritte painting. The sex scenes between Delon and Faithfull are all swamped in a polarised visual effect that, while garish and psychedelic, is dated and distinctly unerotic. Director Jack Cardiff is better known as a cinematographer on classics such as The African Queen and Black Narcissus. Among Cardiff's other directorial credits is a worthy adaptation of DH Lawrence's Sons & Lovers, but Girl on a Motorcycle is a saucy road movie with no final destination. On the DVD: This DVD version is misleadingly presented as being the fully restored and uncut version of the film. Yet it was the US version not the European one that was heavily cut (and titillatingly re-titled "Naked Under Leather"). The restoration certainly does not refer to the print quality: although the colours are vivid and bright, the print used to master the DVD (in 16:9 anamorphic format) is extremely grainy and, at times, speckled with dirt and scratches. Included as one of the special features, a theatrical trailer loaded with innuendo shows just how much the film was marketed to a prurient audience. Director Jack Cardiff provides an audio commentary but has few revelatory things to say about his film beyond technical considerations, and even makes several clunking errors (recalling his casting decisions concerning a scene that takes place in a provincial German café, he raves about how he strove to find authentic French locals!). He does reveal that the film's use of a voice-over was inspired by the internal monologue that forms the basis of James Joyce's Ulysses. Given Cardiff's age and experience one feels that he must have more interesting anecdotes and insights, making this commentary feel like a wasted opportunity. --Chris Campion

  Oberto Conte Di San Bonifacio - Giuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901):Verdi's first published opera, written in his 20's, already shows the instinctive melodic gift and heightened sense of drama which was to make him a giant among composers of grand opera. Set in 13th century Italy, Oberto was first performed at La Scala, Milan in 1839- more than 50 years before his last opera was premiered there - and prepared the way for a lifetime's work which would culminate in some of the finest music ever written.

• I Pierre Riviere | DVD | (24/03/2008) from £17.35   |  Saving you £2.64 (15.22%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault I Pierre Riviere a unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835 when a young man Pierre Riviere murdered his mother sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives including the written confession of Pierre himself and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of 'truth' and 'history'. Radical bold and uncompromising director Rene Allio's extraordinary work is at one and the same time an ethnographic enquiry an historical reconstruction and an unflinching portrait of psychopathology and its aftermath.

• A Letter To True | DVD | (11/05/2009) from £7.98   |  Saving you £8.01 (50.10%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Bruce Weber is a professed animal lover and this film centres on his own dogs a family of gorgeous golden retrievers including True. A Letter To True is a stunning look at the affection loyalty and unconditional love displayed by these animals - which the filmmaker sees as a metaphor for peace and hope in the world. In a highly personalised commentary Weber interweaves his personal obsessions: music of the 50's and 60's home movies of Dirk Bogarde in Provence; conversations with Elizabeth Taylor (another great dog lover) recollections of friendships past and speculation about how our lives have been changed by the events of 9/11. Tying these various stranda together with a poet's logic A Letter To True is a little like staying up late with Bruce Weber listening to great music and peeking into the mind of a world class connoisseur.
