• Samurai Sword - The Making Of A Legend | DVD | (20/04/2009) from £7.98   |  Saving you £5.01 (38.60%)   |  RRP £12.99

  For over 1,000 years, one weapon dominated the battlefields of Japan. The Samurai sword was a weapon so fearsome it could split a man from throat to groin, and yet it spawned a new art form and a spiritual way of life. Here was a sword so technologically perfect in structure, so beautiful in creation, that it gave rise to an aristocratic warrior creed. Reaching its ultimate expression in the 16th Century Katana, the Samurai sword has become a thing of legend. More than a weapon, it is regarded as the very soul of a warrior. Using the latest science, Samurai Sword - The Making Of A Legend reveals the secrets of the ultimate blade. It follows the creation of a sword, from its birth in traditional furnaces through the magic of the master sword smith who shapes the blade to the ancient art of the sword polisher who finishes it. The programme also seeks out grand masters of the sword to demonstrate its awesome potential in combat, and compares the killing edge of the Samurai sword with that of the traditional European broadsword.

• Looking For Light - Jane Brown | DVD | (26/05/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  A revealing portrait of this most self-effacing but great portrait photographer emerges through conversation anecdote and candid reflection. In the almost six decades that Jane Bown (b 1925) worked for the Observer newspaper she became renowned for insightful highly individualistic portraits of the famous. Some of these portraits are now regarded as classics of the genre - Samuel Beckett Queen Elizabeth the Beatles Bertrand Russell Mick Jagger Margaret Thatcher etc. Bown's great mantra is 'photographers should neither be seen nor heard'. Diminutive in stature and with an all-important ability to blend into the background Bown was the antithesis of the Fleet Street macho photojournalist. This feature documentary is a beautiful portrait of both Jane Bown her determination to succeed in an almost exclusively male world and her process of working as a photographer. It includes interviews with Rankin Nobby Clark and Don McCullin and her many iconic photographs of the great and the good (and a few bad) of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.
