from £26.98
| Saving you £-1.99 (-8.00%)
| RRP What better legacy could an opera-house director leave behind him than a string of excellent theatrical productions! Composer/director Rolf Liebermann (1910-1999) certainly succeeded in doing this - particularly during the 14 years from 1959 to 1973 that he spent in charge of Hamburg State Opera. During the Lieberman era the company in this northern German city embarked on a new artistic and administrative course that had - and still has - an impact on the entire operatic scene in central and western Europe.It is significant in terms of Rolf Liebermann's artistic credo that he selected Joachim Hess' 1969 production of Albert Lortzing's comic opera Zar und Zimmerman (The Tsar and the Carpenter) to be included amongst the August ranks of his 13 opera films. What he was certainly trying to achieve was as varied as possible a documentation of the performing capabilities of the Hamburg opera community during this period. Millions of television viewers (in those days) were to be given the opportunity to share the experience.It may seem strange nowadays, but all that needs to be said regarding the production is that the story, in terms of libretto and music, has been realised on a simple 1:1 basis - with all the technical skills available to film-makers in the late 1960s.

Iremar is a bull wrangler, who aspires to being a fashion designer, and the film follows him and his friends as they travel from rodeo to rodeo dreaming of better days ahead.

Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood | Blu Ray | (10/06/2013)
from £4.96
| Saving you £11.03 (69.00%)
| RRP 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. Special Features: Backstage Scenic Design E Visual Effects Testimony of Ansonio Andreassi (Assistant Chief of Police)

| RRP The extraordinary films of Thai filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul (BLISSFULLY YOURS, TROPICAL MALADY, SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY, Cannes Palme d'Or-winner UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, CEMETERY OF SPLENDOUR) have defined him as one of contemporary cinema's most unique voices. Apichatpong's hallucinatory debut feature MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT NOON is an experimental documentary mix that wends its way through the landscapes and mindscapes of rural Thailand. A film crew travels from the Thai countryside to Bangkok, asking the people they encounter along the way to expand upon a story involving a wheelchair-bound young boy and his teacher. The resulting stories are later re-enacted by non-professional actors in dramatic re-creations of the freely associated narrative strokes supplied. The daisy-chain structure of interlocking vignettes is inspired by the surrealist game Exquisite Corpses, and its formal strategies are aligned with both documentary realism and the avant-garde, but this boldly original debut looks and feels like nothing else. Second Run present the film from a new 3K restoration by the Austrian Film Museum and Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation and includes exclusive extra features.
