  Five of iconic film director Wim Wenders' key documentaries collected together in Wenders Classics box set packaging with new bonus features and an exclusive limited edition collector's booklet. A must-have for Wenders fans. Nick's Film: Lightning Over Water: In 1979 award-winning German filmmaker Wim Wenders travelled to New York City to make a movie with legendary American auteur Nicholas Ray as he lay dying of terminal cancer. Surrounded by family and friends the director of such Hollywood classics as Rebel Without a Cause Johnny Guitar and They Live By Night reflects on a career of triumphs and compromises as he faces his final days with hope humour and the fierce independent spirit that defined his greatest works. Together Ray and Wenders create a film that is more than a documentary telling an extraordinarily moving story about collaboration that goes beyond friendship and ultimately a life in cinema that transcends death itself. Room 666: The year is 1982. Filmmakers across the globe converge on the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival the industry's most prestigious annual event. One by one they are led in to the cramped confines of Room 666 at the Hotel Martinez and forced to answer a difficult and engaging question: What is the future of cinema? The directors become the subject when some of the film's greatest visionaries bare their souls and wax romantic about the fate of moviemaking. Steven Spielberg Michelangelo Antonioni Werner Herzog and Jean-Luc Godard headline an all-star cast of auteurs in this eclectic documentary by acclaimed director Wim Wenders. Tokyo-Ga: Oscar-nominated director Wim Wenders turns his camera toward the Far East in this captivating love letter to the world's most bustling metropolis. Using the films of director Yasujiro Ozu as a window into the Tokyo landscape Wenders examines the sociology of Tokyo in both the past and present in an effort to understand the evolution of Japan's national identity. Highlighted by an interview with fellow filmmaker Werner Herzog Tokyo-Ga is a fascinating amalgam of personal experience and global introspection that aims to question the meaning of nostalgia in a city that thrives on change. Notebook On Cities And Clothes: In 1989 the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris asked director Wim Wenders to create a film about the world of fashion. Initially resistant to the idea Wenders soon became fascinated by the craft and philosophy of Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto as he prepared his new season's collection. From the streets and studios of Tokyo to the boulevards and catwalks of Paris Wenders uncovers the essence of Yamamoto's work while exploring the enigma of style the language of images and the very nature of human identity. The result is an extraordinary examination of both fashion and cinema as a way of life carried along only by unique vision and vivid curiosity. A Trick Of The Light: Long fascinated with the ever-changing culture of world cinema exploratory director Wim Wenders pays a visit to his alma mater in an effort to recreate the magic and wonder of film in its most infantile state.

• The Editor | DVD | (11/07/2016) from £11.73   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Rey Ciso (Adam Brooks) was once the greatest editor the world had ever seen. Since a horrific accident left him with four wooden fingers on his right hand, he's had to resort to cutting pulp films and trash pictures. When the lead actors from the film he's been editing turn up murdered at the studio, Rey is fingered as the number one suspect. The bodies continue to pile up in this absurdist giallo-thriller as Rey struggles to prove his innocence and learn the sinister truth lurking behind the scenes. Functioning as a straight-up send-up of Dario Argento, Mario Bava and the cinematic sorcerers of '70s slasher films, Canadian horror comedy THE EDITOR is a charming tribute to the unsung classics of giallo, an Italian subgenre known for its gory and gruesome erotic horror.

• New Adventures of Pinocchio | DVD | (07/04/2014) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-3.49 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The New Adventures of Pinocchio is the charming sequel to the 1996 live-action movie. With a largely brand-new cast, the most important returning actor is Martin Landau as Geppetto. His role is pared down, however, by a neat twist in the tale. Udo Kier is the other returning actor, this time in the new bad guy/girl role of Madame Flambeau, whose carnival sets itself up in Pinocchio's town and offers everyone a miracle elixir to change their lives. Pinocchio (now played as a real boy by Gabriel Thomson) hopes the elixir will make his papa feel better from a nasty cold, but it turns out Flambeau tricked him with puppet-making juice. So now it's Geppetto who's the wooden star of the show! Lots of surprises keep the story happily moving along, with secret identities waiting to spring from the likes of Warwick Davis as the ringleader Dwarf. The Jim Henson Studio puppets are first class as always, with some flawless computer graphics coming to the rescue every so often. There's a beautiful backdrop of Luxembourg countryside too for this pantomime where everyone looks as if they had great fun putting it together. --Paul Tonks
