A beautiful woman is actually an instrument of violent revenge in this blood-spattered action story from Japan. In ancient Japan, people live side-by-side with mechanical human replicas, created by rogue inventors, which have suddenly and dangerously gone mad, leaving a remarkable trail of carnage in their wake. Desperate to avenge the killings and restore order, one of the inventors creates an especially powerful robot from the remains of a beautiful princess, who was murdered along with her friends by one of the androids. The mechanically enhanced princess (Aino Kishi) is equipped with 11 deadly weapons, and she's sent out to do battle alongside a human warrior who has a musical instrument so loud it can be used to destroy his enemies. SAMURAI PURINSESU: GEDO-HIME (aka SAMURAI PRINCESS) was the first theatrical feature for director-screenwriter ...

This jaw-dropping documentary takes an experimental approach in its presentation of footage from the 1961 trial of SS colonel Adolf Eichman, a German efficiency "specialist" in charge of transportation of Jews to concentration camps during World War II. After Israeli agents finally caught up with Eichman in South America in 1960, they deported him to Israel, and American filmmaker Leo Hurwitz captured over 350 hours of footage of the subsequent months-long trial. Presented here in an experimentally edited version by Eyal Silvain and Rony Brauman, the trial becomes a surreal, chilling experience. Their technique contrasts the banality of courtroom procedure with an haunting, avante garde score, and subtle video tricks that hint at the unfathomable atrocities being addressed. This mix of tedium and horror is perfectly reflected by Eichman himself, as he hides in a dull fog of bureaucratic buck-passing throughout the film, while the judge has ...
