Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss between two boys living in Nazi-occupied France.

Based on events from writer-director Malle�s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.

In his first collaboration with renowned screenwriter and longtime partner Cesare Zavattini, Vittoria De Sica examines the cataclysmic consequences of adult folly on an innocent child.

One of the first French films to address the issue of collaboration during the German Occupation, Louis Malle�s brave and controversial Lacombe, Lucien traces a young peasant�s journey from potential Resistance member to Gestapo recruit.

Osaka Tough Guys (Naniwa Yuukyoden)

Synopsis:

Regarded as a milestone in cult maestro Takashi Miike's career, Osaka Tough Guys is the bridge between his work as an apprentice director and as an auteur. It also displays two distinct themes that he would explore in later work. Here, bonded together for the one and only time is an affectionate look at late youth that he would later develop together with the magic realist dive into Yakuza life and rituals for which he is best known.

When two street punks, Makoto and Eiji, run out of drinking money, it seems they have no choice but to look for work. But when they find an extremely well-paid job that requires no experience, they don't realize that they're about to be conscripted into the Yakuza!

Sex Is Zero

Synopsis:

You never knew they made comedies in Korea? Well now you�ll never forget! This film out performed Titanic 3 to 1 in its homeland -eventually becoming the highest grossing Korean comedy of all time.

Triumph Of The Will (Special Edition)

Synopsis:

The film, realized by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, was created to influence all of Germany to support the "power" of the Nazi Party. All during World War II in every theatre in Germany part of, or all of, Triumph of the Will was show.

Funded entirely by the N.S.D.A.P., Hitler hired the young actress/director Leni Riefenstahl to direct. Money was unlimited, so Riefenstahl was eating and sleeping in the editing room with hundreds of thousands of feet of film for almost a full year. All of the shots in Triumph of the Will are carefully constructed. Sets were specially built to accommodate cameras and Hitler was filmed separately from the crowds so Riefenstahl could edit together a film that would manipulate imagery and seduce the mind.

An historically significant and, at times, horrifyingly manipulative exercise in propaganda for the Nazi regime, Triumph of the Will continues to be controversial over sixty years after its original release. This historical document has been unavailable in Germany for many decades and Leni Riefenstahl has since come under fire for her personal relationship with Adolph Hitler, spending her life in the shadow of collaborating with the Nazi Party.

Best Price: $21.48 @ DVDPacific.com

Bettie Page: Dark Angel (2-Disc Limited Edition)

Synopsis:

Bettie Page was America's favorite pin-up model of the 1950s, and achieved her greatest success as Playboy's January 1955 centerfold. It was her association with fetish photographer and filmmaker Irving Klaw, however, that would change her life forever and establish the cult icon status she enjoys to this day.

Dark Angel recalls, in episodes, her last three years as a pin-up queen and faithfully recreates, in Klaw's original style, many of her now classic bondage film performances that were destroyed long ago. After a Senate investigation and indictment of Klaw, threats against her life and frustration over never achieving her dream of success as a mainstream actress, Bettie Page suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from public view� forever.

Finding his high profile pop-culture illustration career less than meaningful, Matt sets out to find a more rewarding personal project. Visiting a nearby graveyard, he stumbles upon an old photograph of a South American castle. Obsessed with the photo, Matt begins to bring the castle to life with a vibrant full-color painting, while simultaneously creating sinister sketches of the tortured souls he imagines inhabiting the gothic dwelling.

While Matt creates his cryptic world in his studio, his girlfriend Sarah is confronted with phantom encounters throughout the rest of the home. The more Matt conjures the spirits through his art, the more intense these ghostly encounters become. Eventually the art becomes so real that Matt and Sarah find themselves manifested to the actual castle, lost in the never-ending jungles of South America. There they must find a way home and confront the demonic spirits conjured from Matt's twisted nightmares...

Once they have stepped over the line, they find impossible to stop. And soon they are contemplating the ultimate evil act.
