Manson Family Movies DVD
DVD 881190003299 Disc New
This 1984 staging of Manson Family arcana was mounted by John Aes-Nihil, whose dedication to fringe cultures and unabashed appreciation of mayhem is presumably behind this obsessively detailed recreation of the Family, shot to look as though they made it themselves. Those familiar with the case will notice the inclusion of trivial minutiae that gives witness to the exhaustive research behind the film, while the faux-home movie idea itself stems from a legend that the family stole camera equipment for their own use. The story has never been verified by actual home movies, so Aes-Nihil imagines what they might be like. The result feels disturbingly apt, shot entirely on Super-8 at the actual locations of the Family's life and crimes, including Spahn Ranch, the Tate Gate, the La Bianca House, and more. MANSON FAMILY MOVIES is completely silent, while actual music by the Manson Family accompanies chillingly realistic effects.

School Of The Holy Beast DVD
DVD 881190003398 Disc New
Extravagant, surprisingly beautiful, and unabashedly perverse, director Norifumi Suzuki contributes to the nunsploitation genre with this feast of excess. When a young woman (Yumi Takigawa) decides to investigate her mother's death by entering a convent school, she discovers a horrific den of pleasure and sadomasochistic activities. Encounters with a randy archbishop and a lesbian mother superior lead to episodes of torture, which include the poor girl being bound topless by thorny vines and beaten with long-stemmed roses. A demented anomaly of the genre with its utterly unique, over-the-top action, political and comedic subtexts, and genuinely artistic approach, the action inside the Sacred Heart Convent is unforgettable to say the least.

Gozu DVD
DVD 891514001986 Disc New
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.

Scott Walker 30 Century Man DVD
DVD 896602002081 Disc New
A percussionist slams his fists into a slab of raw meat; Scott Walker records the sounds from the control booth. The thumps will overlay his strangled vocals and menacing strings on his long awaited 2006 album, THE DRIFT. This scene from the documentary 30 CENTURY MAN highlights both the grimly primordial thrust of Walker's music and also how far he's strayed from his days as a 1960s heartthrob. As the frontman of the English sensation the Walker Brothers, the American-born singer swaggered before screaming teens belting such classic pop melancholia as "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore." But when he embarked on a solo career and incorporated the bleak librettos of Jacques Brel, Walker's music took a far more experimental turn: magnifying the psychic unease only suggested in the echo-laden backdrops of Phil Spector. Walker's old fans abandoned him and the singer went into seclusion, but a whole new generation of musicians eventually discovered his enigmatic, boundary-pushing songs--among them David Bowie, Brian Eno, Jarvis Cocker, and Radiohead (all of whom appear in the documentary). Known for masking himself in sunglasses and a ballcap, Walker comes across in the film's rare interviews as thoughtful and frank--if less than effusive. Rapid editing and performance footage propel viewers through Walker's life, but the film's greatest value is its portrait of an artist's evolution--resculpting his own sensibilities and discovering new pathways for expression without deference to the culture at large.

Exit Through The Gift Shop DVD
DVD 896602002326 Disc New
EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP marks the feature-film debut of notorious street artist Banksy. The documentary's focus is French-born L.A. thrift-shop owner Thierry Guetta, whose apparent compulsion to videotape every moment of his life led him to document the phenomenon of contemporary street art. Guetta's cousin, a street artist known as Space Invader, allowed the avid cameraman to tape him as he illegally spread his artwork, and Space Invader also introduced him to other street artists, whose work Guetta captured on tape. Eventually, Guetta hooked up with Shepard Fairey, who was best known (before he created an iconic Barack Obama campaign poster) for his widespread stickers featuring an image of the late wrestler Andre the Giant over the word "OBEY." Guetta soon hears about the mysterious street artist/prankster Banksy, and becomes obsessed with finding him and videotaping his exploits. Thanks to Guettta's growing reputation among street artists, the two eventually meet and form a sort of partnership. Guetta even videotapes Banksy's infamous "Gitmo" prank at Disneyland, wherein a handcuffed, hooded figure in an orange jumpsuit is placed beside one of the rides. They get along quite well until Banksy suggests that Guetta stop shooting, take the countless hours of footage he's accumulated, and start assembling them into a documentary. Banksy eventually takes over the documentary project, and inadvertently pushes Guetta's creative energy in a new direction, as Guetta becomes a kind of street artist himself, with shocking results. EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP, narrated by Rhys Ifans, had its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. While it was very well received, there was much speculation as to the documentary's veracity and the provenance of Guetta, his videotape, and his artwork. Given Banksy's reputation, that should not come as a surprise.

Ladies And Gentlemen Mr Leonard Cohen DVD
DVD Disc New
Leonard Cohen remains one of the great bards of the modern era, a poet, novelist and singer-songwriter whose dark, lyrical mediations on love, loss and death made him the defining voice of his generation.

A rare and intimate insight into Cohen's formative years, Ladies and Gentelman: Mr Leonard Cohen is a compelling document of the man who would soon become a legend.

City Of Women DVD
DVD Disc New
The culmination of Fellini's life-long obsession with the fairer sex, City of Women stars Fellini's favourite alter-ego, Marcello Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2), as a modern-day Don Juan who tackles middle-age, and feminism, by attempting to bring together all the women in his life - past, present, and future!Underpinning his sexual odyssey is the fantasy that these women (representing different stages of his life) love him so much that they'd be willing to share him - but dream and reality do not easily combine. The film opens with a train entering a leaf-framed tunnel - Fellini's homage to the erotic metaphors of American cinema - and soon the understated Mastroianni embarks on a vain yet hilarious search through a maze of beautiful women to find his beau ideal. A surreal, comic book vision of impossible love, the film's colourful, whimsical touches could only have been created by Fellini.

Slasherpool.Following his groundbreaking directorial debut, the infamous rape/revenge shocker The Last House On The Left (1972), and the success of his second feature, the ferocious genre classic The Hills Have Eyes (1977), director Wes Craven had already achieved cult status with films that encapsulated the fury and desperation of the times.

Argento Classics Vol 2 DVD
DVD Disc New
This exclusive compilation of landmark Dario Argento horror films is a must-own for fans of the terror maestro, and includes some of the spaghetti slasher's best works, including:
THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGEAn undisputed milestone in horror cinema, the film announced the stunning debut of the great Italian horror stylist, Dario Argento. Boasting all the terror trademarks that Argento would become renowned for imaginative set pieces, operatic camera moves and lingering shots of gleaming knife blades, this pulse-pounding suspense thriller firmly established Argento as horror's most stylish innovator.
SUSPIRIA: Widely considered to be the most shocking and hallucinatory horror movie in history, Suspiria stars Jessica Harper as a young American ballet student who arrives at a prestigious European dance academy before being confronted with a series of bizarre and horrific deaths. Packed with vicious violence, ultra gory effects and dazzling cinematic set pieces, Suspiria is a gruesomely gothic masterpiece of the macabre.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERAArgento's gory remake of the Gaston Leroux classic is a haunting, macabre and tragic story of a tortured man's love for a beautiful singer. In Argento's twist on the original theme, the phantom is not disfigured but is raised by telepathic rats deep under the Paris Opera House. Having fallen for up-coming diva Christine, the monstrous Phantom employs his unearthly organ melodies to lure her, and sundry unwilling victims, into his dark, subterranean world.

Jerry Lee Lewis DVD
DVD Disc New
This captivating insight at one of rock's seminal figures includes essential live footage of the rock n roll legend filmed by D.A. Pennebaker, also responsible for Bob Dylan's Don't Look Back. Balancing this 1969 concert footage (when Lewis appeared at a rock revival show in Toronto) with clips from his breakthrough '50s years and a compelling account of his tumultuous life, including illegitimate marriage to his 13-year-old cousin, which led to the early cancellation of his late 50s England tour, this is a fascinating insight into a brilliant and controversial music icon. The '69 show sees Lewis performing both his own tunes ('Great Balls of Fire', 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On') and several songs more closely associated with Elvis Presley ('Don't Be Cruel', 'Hound Dog', 'Jailhouse Rock'), and confirms the unbridled energy of both Lewis and his audience.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVD
DVD Disc New
When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hit movie theatres in 1974, it quickly supplanted the previous year's top horror flick, The Exorcist, as "the most terrifying movie ever made." Unlike The Exorcist, however, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre eschewed standard production values and modern special effects in favour of a grainy documentary-like approach with visceral, low-tech, in-your-face visual effects.
The tale of five young students who unwittingly meet up with a sinister hitchhiker, the mask-wearing maniac Leatherface (whose mask is actually made from dried human skin), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre turned a lumberjack's tool into the stuff of nightmares and the blood-curdling scream into an art form. Umbrella Entertainment are proud to present Tobe Hooper's horror masterpiece in a Special 2 Disc Collectors Edition with a bounty of blood curdling special features.

This film dissects the work and career of Rage Against The Machine and looks at their place in the fascinating lineage of artists and performers who have drawn attention to - and spoken out on behalf of - the world's marginalised, downtrodden and oppressed.

Ken Park DVD
DVD Disc New
Ken Park has sent ripples with explicit scenes, and acts, overshadowing other movies on display. The story of four dysfunctional families in the skateboarding hotbed of Visalia, Calif., unspooled in the experimental Upstream competition. "But I didn't want to cut a single frame," the cult film director and photographer told. "All my life I've seen the camera turn away, but these scenes are part of the reality ... of this generation." The film was co-directed by Clark - who made the controversial 1995 movie "Kids", renowned cinematographer Ed Lachman, who shot Steven Soderbergh's award-winning "Erin Brockovich" and Todd Haynes' "Far From Heaven". The movie features violence involving not only the restless teenagers in the small town, but also their parents. But Clark says the film is an "uplifting" look at modern youth that shows some of the kids overcoming the odds..

Stevie DVD
DVD Disc New
STEVIE is non-fiction filmmaking at its bravest and most merciless. In its excruciating authenticity, STEVIE provides insight into the complexities of the human condition, and raises the question of personal responsibility to an almost unbearable degree. After directing a series of fictional films based on real events, filmmaker Steve James (HOOP DREAMS) decided to return to his documentary roots and shoot a short film portrait of a figure from his past. While in college, James volunteered for a short period as a Big Brother to little Stevie Fielding. Wondering what became of Stevie, James returns to Pomona, Illinois, ten years later, to reconnect with his little brother. What he meets is a deeply troubled man in his mid-twenties, whose horrendous upbringing and reckless behavior have him on a collision course for tragedy. Two years later, Stevie is arrested for child molestation, making James feel even more guilty for having abandoned Stevie so many years ago. James obviously had no idea what he was in for when he embarked on this seemingly innocent project, which grew from an innocent snapshot into a deeply profound photo album. Life is harsh, and brutal, and unfair for many people. STEVIE doesn't provide any answers, but its mere existence is enough to provide a glimmer of hope.

Encounters At The End Of The World DVD
DVD Disc New
Werner Herzog returns to the non-fiction world once again with ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, his latest exploration into the dangerous beauty that exists in nature. This time, Herzog travels to Antarctica in order to deliver a funny, visually arresting, dreamlike glimpse into Earth's most mysterious continent. Herzog begins by interviewing the many bizarre and unique individuals who have chosen to live and work in the secluded, frozen McMurdo Station. These characters aren't far removed from Herzog's quirkiest narrative features; as he interrogates them, it is clear just how amused he is by their off-kilter personalities. After a while, he leaves the humans behind in order to focus on the creatures that populate the continent--most notably, seals and penguins. In one unforgettable sequence, a lone penguin breaks off from the pack and ventures off into the distance, never to be heard from again. Herzog's subsequent questioning of an expert, in which he contemplates a penguin's ability to become deranged, is the director at his most overtly humorous--but there's a sincerity to his questioning that keeps it from sarcasm. The film builds to a gorgeous, haunting conclusion, in which producer/composer/cohort Henry Kaiser takes a camera along with him deep into the sea, under all of that ice, at which point we are exposed to magical visions that feel downright otherworldly. Deftly balancing humor and seriousness, ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD is another gem in Herzog's already legendary canon.

Up! DVD
DVD Disc New

The cast of Meyer's regulars are present, with their giant-sized boobs, and some equally ridiculous prop penis' as well. Up! has been released in Australia as part of Madman's Director's Suite collection (along with Vixen, SuperVixen, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens) and as a collection make for a treasure for Meyer's aficionados, fans of 70s cinema and those who enjoy the silliness of pre 80s soft core pornography.

Fifteen DVD
DVD Disc New
Neither documentary nor fiction, Royston Tan's feature-length version of an earlier, award-winning short is a gritty, disturbing portrait of Singapore's forgotten youth. The film follows five teenage hoodlums as they go about their daily lives, which involve gangs, drugs, smuggling, violence, and lots of body modifications. The film is shot in a fast-paced, non-linear style that highlights the immediacy of the action, making it all the more unpalatable and difficult to watch. The desperation of the delinquents is immeasurable and captured beautifully (Tan has faced many accusations of exploitation), with stark emotions expressed by actors in situations similar to those of their characters. Their nihilism is explicit, as one boy searches for the perfect location for suicide, and another inflicts wounds on himself in an attempt to expunge the pain and frustration he has already seen in his short life.

Peter Tscherkassky Films From A Dark Room DVD
DVD Disc New
A confrontation with the codes of narrative-representational cinema is one of Peter Tscherkassky´s constant concerns. If one attempts to distill a constant from his films, then this must surely be the oscillation between the abstract and the concrete, between the dry and the sensual, which is the source of energy of his work. The question of belly or brain is one which Tscherkassky stopped asking long ago - for ultimately sobriety is the route to ecstasy.

Women In Revolt DVD
DVD Disc New
Paul Morrissey (FLESH, TRASH, HEAT) caps off his stinging string of tongue-in-cheek critiques and portraits of the sex-and-drugs-drenched woes of modern society with the Warhol-Superstar-studded WOMEN IN REVOLT. Otherworldly trans-gendered beauties Holly Woodlawn, Jackie Curtis, and Candy Darling play the trio of ladies who collide in their attempts to free themselves from their respective ruts while launching a revolutionary feminist group called PIGS (Politically Involved Girls). The three women come from different walks of life--Holly the slut, Jackie the housewife, and Candy the socialite. They share shambling encounters that feature nonstop rhetorical babbling that both mocks and pays tribute to the women's rights movement. Men are present as pathetic houseboys, worthless relatives, and scheming hustlers as the girls argue their way to liberation, only to be undone by the forces of men. Letting the three extravagant personalities unfurl before the camera, Morrissey continues with his Warhol-influenced aesthetic, creating the story with their improvisations, evocative mannerisms, and inspired gestures. With smart, subversive humor, Morrissey and his three superstars create a compelling, if hilarious, parable of women's plight.

GV 5 DVD
DVD Disc New
Multi award-winning Independent filmmaker, Bob Bryan took his camera on the road (in search of Hip-Hop) to the Heartland of America. Bryan was invited to document a historic four (4) day Hip-Hop Summer Workshop conducted at Metro High School, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa which resulted in GV5. What emerges is a portrait of the educational value and liberating therapeutic power contained within the unique elements of the contemporary Hip-hop movement. Turntablism, Break-dancing, MC'ing and Graffiti Art are the four Hip-Hop elements used in what Bryan sees as a multifaceted communications modality and dynamic educational learning system.
Continuing the documentary film series, GRAFFITI VERITE 5 examines the close connections between graffiti and other art forms in the larger hip-hop culture. Director Bob Bryan travels to the Hip-Hop Summer Workshop to document the events there, and discovers a close connection between the expressive forms of DJing, breakdancing, rapping, and graffiti art.

Four Months, 3 Weeks And 2 Days DVD
DVD Disc New
On the heels of Cristi Puiu's brilliant THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU comes another outstanding picture, 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS, which firmly establishes Romania as a major force in early 21st-century world cinema. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, Cristian Mungiu's excruciatingly intense drama is set in Bucharest in the mid-1980s, as Nicolae Ceaucescu and his evil dictatorship continue to reign. In a country where abortion is outlawed, a young college student, Gabita (Laura Vasiliu), finds herself in big trouble. Unsure what to do, she turns to her roommate, Otilia (Anamaria Marinca), for help. On the day on which the film takes place, the pair connects with a black market doctor, Bebe (Vlad Ivanov), in order to take care of Gabita's pregnancy--but, of course, it isn't that simple. The resulting 24 hours reveals a harrowing descent into a world in which the possibility of tragedy lurks around every corner. Mungiu's decision to film every scene in a hyper-documentary style, with long, unbroken takes (by co-producer Oleg Mutu), ratchets up the tension to nearly unbearable proportions. Adding even greater drama is his decision to focus on the friend, not the victim. Marinca's face, filmed in unflinching close-ups, expresses the impossibly complex flood of emotions that nag her throughout the day. The film's true revelation, however, is Ivanov, whose portrayal of the shady doctor is an absolute tour-de-force. 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS is filmmaking at its most masterly.
