Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles A mixed-race man finds his beliefs stretched to breaking point as he finds himself caught up in Hungary's communist regime in director Ibolya Fekete's (BOLSHE VITA) CHICO. The man, named Chico, has spent most of his life surrounded by turmoil; having lived in Chile and Bolivia during turbulent times in their histories, he suddenly finds a new sense of purpose when he winds up in Croatia. As the war rages around him, Chico joins forces with the Croatians in their battle against the neighboring Serbians. Finally finding something he believes in, Fekete ups the dramatic ante of his film by deploying some real footage from the battle as Chico fights with newfound vigor. A powerful film that illustrates much of the confusion people have when searching for an identity, CHICO won the Best Director award for Fekete at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

Chico movie DVD
$10.49
This relatively little-known film is widely hailed by fans of the macabre. Truly ahead of its time, NIGHTMARE ALLEY is set in the gritty, surrealistic world of traveling carnivals, where eccentric people of all possible varieties interact on a daily basis. In a departure from his usual roles as the Hollywood leading man, handsome Tyrone Power plays a morally questionable circus apprentice determined to climb the carnival ladder no matter what the price. Powers shows immense range in what was arguably his finest role ever as the sometimes unrecognizably scruffy circus man with a liking for the bottle. Director Edmund Goulding (DARK VICTORY) gives the carnival setting a dark, somber feel that contradicts the film's more upbeat ending. In spite of this ending tacked on by the studio system, NIGHTMARE ...

Japanese auteur Kinji Fukasaku examines the trauma of World War II in his home country in the docu-drama UNDER THE FLAG OF THE RISING SUN (GUNKI HATAMEKU MOTONI).

Many years on, the army will still not tell her the circumstances of his death, so she embarks on an investigation of her own. Conducting interviews with a number of her husband's former comrades, she discovers a RASHOMON-like story of both heroism and villainy, bravery and cowardice. Suggesting that perhaps the truth is lost in the chaos of wartime, ...

Chico DVD

This critically acclaimed award-winner was banned in China for its harshly realistic portrayal of life under Chairman Mao. Following a young boy and his family through the social upheaval of the '50s and '60s, Tian Zhuangzhuang's THE BLUE KITE is an epic look at recent Chinese history and the effect political changes have on personal lives. The film follows young Tietou as he grows up in the midst of the cultural revolution, watching colleagues denounce each other, and neighbors, living under the guise of happy "communal living," spy on one another. One by one, Tietou's family and friends get caught in the violent upheaval until finally the dramatic events engulf Tietou himself.
Banned in China, where the director was under close government scrutiny for making the film "without permission", "The Blue Kite" is the most acclaimed and controversial of all of the films to come out of the new Chinese cinema. Told from the perspective of a young boy, Tietou, ...
