  In 2001 on the last day of the G8 summit in Genoa just before midnight more than 300 police officers stormed the Diaz school looking for black bloc demonstrators. Inside the school were 90 activists mostly students from around Europe along with a handful of foreign journalists preparing to bunk down for the night on the school's floors. As the police burst in the young demonstrators raised their hands to surrender. Undeterred and unmoved the officers unleashed a calculated frenzy of violence beating both young and old male and female indiscriminately. Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood reconstructs the events of those terrible days from the viewpoints of the police the protesters the victims and the journalists who were caught up in the tragedy to analyse how frustration can explode into raw uncontrollable violence. Vicari's visceral dynamic filmmaking drops the viewer into the dark heart of politics and reminds you through the inclusion of original footage taken at the scene that this may be a movie but it is not fiction.

• The Saragossa Manuscript | DVD | (26/03/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  At last Mr Bongo Films presents the full-length masterpiece of this incredible film. Martin Scorses, Francis Ford Coppola, Luis Bunuel and Jerry Garcai have at various times described The Saragossa Manuscript as their favorite film. Based on the book by the highly-esteemed Count Jan Potocki, the film version is reputedly a respectful, mostly faithful adaptation of this literary cat s cradle set in the weird fantasy landscapes of arid 17th-century Spain. The films creates a magical, sometimes disturbing, world of the supernatural so it s no surprise that this was a counterculture classic and Jerry Garcia s favourite. He, along with Martin Scorsese, put up part of the money to have it restored to its full length. Besides the convoluted structure, characters pop in and out of each other s stories with the random logic of a trip. The characters includes sexy ghost princeses, demon-possesions and many a corpse. The intruiging stylistic flourishes sit against the wonderful soundtrack, which was composed by Krzyszt Penderecki, famous for the scores of The Shining and Wild At Heart.

  Directed by Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival winner Michele Soavi and starring Raoul Bova (Alien vs. Predator), Political Target was made for the Italian Television Network and first aired in Italy in 2006 on Channel 5. Political Target tells the tense, true story of how Italian investigators attempted to take down one of the most feared militant organisations Italy had ever seen, the Red Brigade. This is a must-see series for crime drama fans as well as those who enjoy realistic accounts of police investigations into terrorist organisations. The series captures the horror and trauma felt across Italy when the feared Red Brigade returned after an 11-year absence, and once again began a series of violent murders across the country. Political Target dissects the composition of the new Red Brigade, whose members appear to be normal, conventional individuals, unlikely to be leading double lives. The drama also shows the impact of the murders on families of the victims, including professors D'Antona and Biagi, and police superintendent Petri. The series also presents the investigators working on the case, struggling for any information on the elusive Red Brigade that will deliver a significant blow to the newly reformed terrorist organisation. Political Target is a fascinating re-telling of a dark era in Italy's history, exploring the ups and downs of Italy's war against terrorism in realistic detail. It is vitally relevant today as Europe continues to battle against terrorism.
