This French language film directed by Michael Haneke starring Isabelle Huppert, Olivier Gormet, Beatrice Dall, and Patrice Chearau, follows a family's difficult journey immedately after an unknown apocalyptic event. The view is placed directly into the terrifying aftermath, with all of its confusion, uncertainty, and danger. DVD features include original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, 5.1 Surround Sound, interviews with Haneke and Huppert, production footage, filmographies, theatrical trailer, English subtitles, previews, and weblinks. Michael Haneke's TIME OF THE WOLF is an emotionally riveting film that takes place in post-apocalyptic rural France. Keeping the film at a constantly tense level even though the characters are for the most part calm and logical, Haneke has mastered the art of controlling his audience. Viewers will find it hard to look away from the screen--or even move in their seats--as they sit frozen by the powerful performances of Isabelle Huppert and Anais Demoustier. The story follows a family of four who load up their supplies and retreat from Paris after a disaster leaves the water contaminated and livestock sickened, causing the government to put sanctions of food and fuel. Arriving at their country house, the family is attacked, their patriarch is murdered, and their supplies are stolen, leaving Anne (Huppert), Eva (Demoustier) and the fragile young Ben (Lucas Biscombe) to wander the bleak countryside in a fervent search for justice and protection. Settling into a makeshift commune in a railroad station, the threesome struggle to make it through each day among chaos, prostitution and rape, competitive barter for food and water, and long episodes of their companions screaming or sobbing. Depressing and frightening, yet totally compelling, TIME OF THE WOLF is a myth with epic feeling. Most of the action takes place off-screen as the protagonists react, and this method of storytelling infuses the film with natural suspense. The result is one great big deep and eerie shiver. IN THEATRES: MAY 28, 2004 (LIMITED) Time Of The Wolf Reviews: "[A]n extremely sure-footed and utterly convincing end-of-the-world movie."
-- Glenn Kenny, Premiere "Haneke envelopes us in an apocalyptic vacuum..."-- Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times "The movie's chill settles into your bones..."
-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "[A] chilly, tense corker."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "[O]ne of the most harrowing and plausible visions of apocalypse since George A. Romero's 1968 zombie shocker, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD."-- Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

Time Of The Wolf Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  The only Drama you'll ever need! Guaranteed!!!
This is how I like my drama's, post apocolyptic,gritty,raw,dis orienting,emotional,and I'd have to say the cover doesn't do the film justice.My only real complaint's other than the lackluster cover,if any,was that it was to short,and could of been even a little more gritty,and bloody.Plus I didn't like the little kid getting naked at the end,other than that I highly reccommend this french film...

Youth gangs took over the slums of Rio de Janiero during the 1960s and didn't relinquish their stronghold until the mid-1980s. Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity. Blood spills throughout the streets of the Ciudad de Deus as gang leader Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino da Hora) is challenged by local druglords and a gang of pre-teens known as ...

Time Of The Wolf review
$32.19
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader.
KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshirô Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also ...

They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes ...
