• A Film Unfinished: Nazi Propaganda and the Warsaw Ghetto | DVD | (14/11/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  A Film Unfinished was originally meant to have been a propaganda documentary filmed by the Nazi's in the Warsaw Ghetto, showing rich Jews exploiting their poorer neighbours and offering some justification for the Final Solution. But in 1998 evidence appeared that much of the film was staged. Yael Heronski has reconstructed the footage, which is accompanied by the testimonies of six survivors who survived the Ghetto. The result is a fascinating example of how history can be manipulated beyond recognition and a powerful reminder of the scale of the Nazi propaganda machine.

With their first meeting on the horizon, is this the news that will finally prompt Martin to escape his prolonged adolescence?

• Dark Days | DVD | (10/02/2014) from £7.90   |  Saving you £8.35 (125.75%)   |  RRP £14.99

  For two years Marc Singer lived with the people who make their home in the tunnels beneath Penn Station in New York, creating Dark Days, an unflinching portrait of a part of society that is literally and figuratively beneath our notice. "You'd be surprised what the human mind and body can adjust to," says Tito, one of the tunnel dwellers. Along with his neighbours he is homeless, but the tunnels offer them a degree of safety that doesn't exist on the streets above. In this strange place they manage to achieve a remarkable degree of domesticity, building shelters, keeping pets and cooking meals. Singer has an eye for telling images, such as Dee dragging a sofa along the train tracks like Sisyphus rolling his stone in Hell. With its grainy black-and-white photography and haunting soundtrack, this is a surprisingly beautiful film, but it is never sentimental, nor does it try to impose false nobility on its subjects. Dark Days shows a world that we never knew existed, and in this simplicity lies its power. --Simon Leake

• E.1027 - Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea | Blu Ray | (22/12/2025) from £16.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  A love triangle of jealousy in the Parisian art scene of the 1930s is brought to life in a stylish docufiction about iconic artist and architect Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by Le Corbusier.Eileen Gray had a truly eminent sense of design. The Irish artist and architect created some of the most iconic furniture of the 20th century, so when she focussed her unique artistic vision on developing a house for herself on the Riviera in 1929, the result was a modernist triumph. A house and a work of art in one, overlooking the sun-sparkled infinity of the Mediterranean. The house is named E.1027, a cryptic contraction of the names of Gray and her lover, Romanian architect Jean Badovici. But when the Swiss-French star architect Le Corbusier learns of the house, he becomes obsessed perhaps because Gray breathes light, air and soul into her building, which is not just a machine to live in.˜E.1027 Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea' reconstructs the dramatic story of Gray and the house that Le Corbusier amazingly managed to convince the world he had built himself. A stunningly beautiful and cinematic docufiction where the inspiration from Gray is present in lines, colours and shapes but where they serve the narrative of a brilliant female artist who spent a long life in the shadow of her male colleagues.UK TrailerEssay (PDF)Physical: Postcards
