Paul Gauguin feels smothered by the atmosphere prevailing in Paris in the year 1891. Around him, everything is so artificial and conventional: he needs authenticity to renew his art. Failing to convince his wife Mette and his five children to follow him to Paradise Lost, he sets out for Tahiti alone. Once there, he chooses to settle down in Mataiera, a village far away from Papeete, installing himself in a native-made hut. He soon starts working passionately, painting and carving in a style close to the primitive art specific to the island. During his two-year stay the artist will experience poverty, cardiac problems and other displeasures but also happiness in the arms of Tehura, a beautiful young native girl. Written by Guy Bellinger.

As the noted jazz historian Stanley Crouch so aptly puts it when saxophonist Dewey Redman plays smoke and flames shoot out of his bell. Daniel Berman's often tender film examines a highly respected musically versatile and uniquely imaginative improviser who has influenced a legion of today's most well regarded musicians. While his classic recordings with Ornette Coleman his membership in the venerable Keith Jarrett Quartet and his famous son Joshua Redman may have helped to put Dewey on the jazz map it's the sound of his horn and the magnetism of his character which keeps jazz fans coming back to his music. This is Dewey's story from the jukejoints of Fort Worth to the walk-ups of Brooklyn from free-jazz to sweet melody from struggle to redemption: Dewey Redman an American Jazz Life.
For the first time a documentary unflinchingly explores Mark Twain's tumultuous last years. Featuring never-be-fore-seen archival footage interviews with noted scholars and Twain's own recollections from his newly-published autobiography. Dangerous Intimacy reveals how the famous author enjoyed the attentions of a flirtatious and calculating young secretary Isabel Lyon who desperately wanted to marry him. With the help of Twain's assistant an Englishman named Ralph Ashcroft Lyon exiled Twain's daughter Jean an epileptic to a sanatorium and nearly succeeded in assuming complete control over the author's household and estate. The arrative is drawn from a book by Karen Lystra and is also based on Twain's uncensored autobiography which is being published now one hundred years after his death in three volumes by the University of California Press. This DVD is based on Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography which is currently ranked number 7 on the NY Times Best Sellers List. Twain embarked on his 'Final (and Right) Plan' for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion - to 'talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment' - meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out he would be 'dead and unaware and indifferent ' and that he was therefore free to speak his 'whole frank mind.'
