Standard Screen; Additional Footage; English Subtitles; Director's Comments This wildly bizarre Japanese horror movie from master Takeski Miike (AUDITION) follows the mysterious disappearance of Brother, a gangster who was accidentally killed by one of his Mafia cohorts, Minami. Searching for Brother's body--which vanished minutes after he was shot--Minami stumbles into a strange secluded inn and gets a room. He is instantly aware that something fishy is going on, and as he gets to know the innkeepers more intimately, that feeling is backed up by evidence. Given to loud, rambunctious sessions of pumping her own breast milk, the innkeeper is certainly a spectacle. Meanwhile, the violent sadomasochistic relationship (read: whipping) shared between the innkeeper and her brother is quite another. Nothing, however, can top Miike's grand finale for GOZU which combines some very important Givenchy crotchless panties, an old man who has a unique solution for his anal fixation, and an extremely gelatinous, odds-defying birth. This film screened as part of SXSW 2004 in Austin Texas. Gozu Reviews: "Miike may make more films than you can keep up with, but this one's a keeper. It's a slow-burn for sure, but the ending proves Miike has known exactly what he's doing all along..."
-- David Cox, Uncut "Hideki Sone makes a weirdly credible Minami....Some of the inventions are cherishable..."
-- Tony Rayns, Sight and Sound "Miike is a bold visual stylist with a strong sense of composition. Miike inspires his actors to depict actions with a complete naturalness that surely no other director has ever asked them to attempt..."-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times Gozu | Studio | Pathfinder Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2004 | | All Time Sales Rank |  7882  | | CD Universe Part number | 6782798 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 15, 2006 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 129 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Japanese Soundtrack | | Movie Details | Color; Digitally Processed; UnEdited Version; Widescreen; Japanese Soundtrack; Uncut, Unrated Director's Version |

Stan Brakhage revolutionized cinema while never having his films play in mainstream movie houses or multiplexes. The avant-garde artist rarely used any sort of narrative. His films, rather, contain imagery ranging from nature studies to child birth to simply scratches on film. His pioneering technique includes a painstaking process marking film by hand rather than shooting film with a camera, a method that rarely enables the filmmaker ...

| | United 93 DVD (2006) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Gozu DVD
$9.59
UNITED 93, director Paul Greengrass's meticulous reconstruction of the events surrounding the crash--the result of a heroic struggle between the passengers and hijackers--of the fourth plane to be hijacked on September 11, 2001, is a landmark in filmmaking. Greengrass has chosen the most politically and emotionally charged source material available to an artist in the early 21st century, and shaped it into a psychologically draining, terrifyingly real, and technically brilliant film. Like his first feature-length work, BLOODY SUNDAY, UNITED 93 doesn't follow a traditional cinematic narrative structure; via hand-held cameras, grainy DV stock, and frenetic editing, it instead presents a visceral (at times sickening) in-the-moment documentary-style experience that maximizes the film's unavoidable air of tension and dread without being crassly manipulative. Yet for all of its precision and craft, UNITED 93 still depicts one of the most terrifying ordeals the United States has ever had to face--and that it was released less than five years after those events took place plays an undeniably enormous role in how the film is received. It is impossible to watch UNITED 93 and not be profoundly moved, whether that emotion is fear, sadness, anxiety, or pure rage. And it is an emotional catharsis far removed from what is the filmmaker's delicate hand and deft touch. Greengrass, though, is quite fearless in his depiction of the chaos of the day--the President is frustratingly missing; the FAC, NORAD, and local air-traffic control centers are shown in a disoriented panic; and the terrorists are brutal and remorseless--and, to his credit, he avoids soft-pedaling any ...
