Soundtrack English; English Subtitles Though the eyes of the world were on "The Rumble in the Jungle" in 1974, their ears should have been on Zaire '74, the mammoth music festival that took place in the shadow of the battle between Mohammad Ali and George Foreman. This documentary takes the stellar cut footage from WHEN WE WERE KINGS and chronicles the concerts from big names such as James Brown, B.B. King, Bill Withers, and Celia Cruz. Though Zaire '74 might have been overlooked in favor of the legendary fight, SOUL POWER still packs a serious punch for music fans.

| | Beatles - A Hard Day's Night DVDs (1964)
Soul Power review
$7.75
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT presents a fictionalized day in the life of the Beatles as they give a performance on a live television show. Filmed just a month after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, this film--the Beatles' first--introduces us to the unique personalities of each member of the band. The film opens with the Fab Four boarding a train mobbed with adoring young fans (mostly women) as they attempt to travel to the television studio in London. The antics of the band during rehearsals and makeup application provide a large part of the comic material in this feature, though there are other moments of pure hilarity. The unscripted vignette featuring a hangover-suffering Ringo is especially funny, particularly when he is arrested and risks having to miss the broadcast. None of this goes unnoticed by the director of the show, played by Victor Spinetti, who went on to become a recurring cast member in Beatles movies. As the clock ticks away dramatically, our heroes manage to free Ringo from jail and sneak onto the stage in the nick of time, delighted in the knowledge that they have nearly driven the director mad in the process. Arguably the first music video ever made, this faux documentary and its shooting style have been a tremendous influence on nearly every rock and roll feature since.

| | Dear My Love
Soul Power DVD
PEEPING TOM director Yoshihiro Fukagawa takes a lighter approach in this romantic drama inspired by real-life love letters--86,441 of them, to be exact. The impetus for this deluge was a mail art-project entitled "Love Letters at Sixty," in which couples were encouraged to exchange letters expressing their affections. Taking prompts from the stories therein, DEAR MY LOVE follows a cross-section of Japanese couples in advancing years, exploring the quiet and sometimes passionate romances experienced by a single parent, a spouse battling illness, and a divorcee rediscovering love, among others.
