Alain Delon, Richard Crenna, and Catherine Deneuve star in this final film by Jean Pierre Melville. Simon (Delon) is a Paris nightclub owner and the leader of a gang of bank robbers. When he and his buddies knock over a small town bank, one of his accomplices is wounded. It isn't long before the local police comissaire, Edourd, takes an interest in the case, and who, unfortunately, is one of Simon's close friends. As Simon and his crew prepare for a much larger heist using the stolen money, Edourd begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together, creating a difficult situation for both friends. A deft and stylish thriller from director Melville (LE SAMOURAI), whose influence is still felt today by directors as diverse as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, and John Woo. It was his last film. Original French title: UN FLIC. Flic Reviews: "...Enough richness of style and theme to make UN FLIC a characteristic if not the quintessential Melville film..."
-- David L. Overbey, Sight and Sound "A Spartan, stylish thriller immaculately presented in bleak blue hues, it's HEAT's understated, European ancestor. Icy but very compelling."
-- Daniel Webb, Total 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 the Runts. Rocket shoots all of this action with his weapon of choice, a camera.
Director Fernando Meirelles combines visual flashiness with dark history in telling the story of three decades of unrest in underground Rio de ...

This fictionalized biopic chronicles the final years of opera meta-diva Maria Callas (Fanny Ardant), filling in the blank spots with a "what if" scenario. It's the late 1970s and Callas, once the greatest singer in opera, has lost her voice, been thrown over by Aristotle Onassis in favor of Jackie Kennedy, and now stomps around her apartment in a haze of pills and regret. But just when it seems all hope is lost, her former manager Larry (Jeremy Irons) hits on the plan to do an opera film of CARMEN, with Callas lip-synching her younger voice in the lead, thus preserving her stage presence for future generations. The trouble is that once Callas gets back in the limelight, her over-the-top artistic temperament threatens to destroy the entire project. What's more, Larry's gay lover (Jay Rodan) is throwing tantrums of his own.
Fanny Ardant is incredible as the tortured, egotistical diva and Joan Plowright lends some welcome warmth and wit as the British reporter who sets the plot in motion. As with many a Zeffirelli film, the cast is packed with beautiful people and the photography is elegant. The passages from CARMEN are a real highlight, with Callas's actual recordings used on the soundtrack. An opera director as well as a film director, Zeffirelli was friends with Callas for over 20 years and once tried to talk her into just such a project, so this is obviously a true labor of love.
Internationally acclaimed director Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet) beautifully recreates the magic, passion and artistry of the opera diva Maria Callas, ...

From director Norihiko Sudo, the coming-of-age romance anime PIANO: THE MELODY OF A YOUNG GIRL'S HEART explores the connection between music and human emotions. Miu Nomura has played the piano ever since she was a girl. But now, as an introverted teenager, she no longer plays with the passion or desire that she used to, frustrating her teacher Mr. Shirakawa. Much of her time is spent daydreaming about Takahashi, an upperclassman she has developed a crush on. But when her best friend Yuki also falls for one of the boys at school and begins to ignore Miu's troubles, her piano seems to be the only thing to turn to. HEARTSTRINGS is the third volume collecting the anime series, and contains episodes eight through ten. In these episodes, Miu returns from winter break but feels not a bit refreshed. Worried sick over Takahashi because he is ill, and feeling the pressure of her upcoming recital, she is overwhelmed.
New Year's has arrived, but the seasonal festivities don't seem to be lifting Miu's spirits at all. With the spring recital fast approaching, Miu is under a lot of pressure to complete her piano composition ...
