Standard Screen; English Subtitles This stimulating 1984 film from experimental German filmmaker Harun Farocki follows a Playboy Magazine centerfold photo shoot in Munich over a period of four days, from set construction to cleanup. Despite the naturally erotic nature of the photographs, Farocki chooses to focus on the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating images of beauty, glamour, and sex.

 $76.49  (MP3 Available for Download)
Digitally remastered by Stephen Innocenzi (1993, Atlantic Studios, New York).
All songs written by Ornette Coleman except "Embraceable You" (George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin), "Abstraction" and "Variants On A Theme Of Thelonius Monk" (Gunther Schuller).
BEAUTY IS A RARE THING was nominated for Best Album Notes in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
BEAUTY IS A RARE THING contains Ornette Coleman's entire surviving recorded output for the Atlantic label from 1959-1961 (a number of other sessions were recorded, but they were destroyed, along with countless other priceless Atlantic masters, in their infamous warehouse fire of the mid-1970s.) BEAUTY IS A RARE THING features over seven hours of music, six previously unreleased tracks, and contains a booklet of photos, a discography and contemporary commentaries by Ornette Coleman and a host of supporters and detractors.
This epic 6-CD set chronicles the joy and controversy that distinguished alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman's coming out party on Atlantic Records. Coleman was a transplanted Texan, a jazzman steeped in the blues, who struggled throughout the '50s on the Los Angeles scene just to find people to play with--let alone to accept his very personal sense of pitch and form. A prodigious composer, Coleman had accumulated hundreds of tunes by the time he made his first two albums for Contemporary, and began recording ...

In this intimate drama, Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti (SIDEWAYS) plays George Gattling, an auto upholsterer in Gainesville, Florida. To escape his quiet life with his sister (character actress Rusty Schwimmer) and her mentally challenged son, Fred (Michael Pitt, THE DREAMERS), George attempts to train hawks with Fred's help. Throughout their town, George is known for his lack of success with hawks, with the birds starving themselves rather than learning. But when tragedy strikes the unconventional family, George goes deeper into his life with a new red-tailed hawk. Filled with grief and guilt, he avoids his family and friends as he tries to get the new bird to eat.
Unlike a lot of actors, Giamatti ably leaps between big-budget fare (such as THE LADY IN THE WATER) and independent films (THE ILLUSIONIST). This film certainly falls into the latter category with its small scale and talented cast, including Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN). This doesn't rank with the best films in Giamatti's career, such as SIDEWAYS and AMERICAN SPLENDOR, but George's crisis allows the ...

A good-looking pack of werewolves that has ruled Bucharest for 5,000 years becomes threatened when one among them begins to question the traditions they have adhered to over the centuries. Vivian (Agnes Bruckner, DREAMLAND) is a teenage werewolf whose destiny has been tied to her pack since she was orphaned at a young age. The pack's menacing leader, Gabriel (Olivier Martinez, BEFORE NIGHT FALLS), has designs on Vivian, and hopes to make her his next wife, while the rest of Vivian's "family" keeps a close watch on her every move. This makes things difficult when Vivian, against her better judgment, begins a tentative relationship with Aiden (Hugh Dancy, THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB), a graphic artist who has come to the city to study the mythical loup-garou for his next book. Vivian tries to keep her growing love a secret, but when Gabriel discovers that she has feelings for a human, he sets off a chain of events that threaten to destroy the pack--or change its bloodthirsty ways. Vivian and the extraordinary Aiden--who manages to outwit the loup-garou in ways they never thought possible--are forced to go on the run, but they must eventually face Vivian's pack in a confrontation that forces all to examine what keeps man and beast ...
