He was perhaps most groundbreaking, however, in the medium of film. The son of an escaped slave, Robeson managed to become a top-billed movie star during the time of Jim Crow America, headlining everything from fellow pioneer Oscar Micheaux\'s silent drama Body and Soul to British studio showcases to socially engaged documentaries, always striving to project positive images of black characters. Increasingly politically minded, Robeson eventually left movies behind, using his international celebrity to speak for those denied their civil liberties around the world and ultimately becoming a victim of ideological persecution himself. But his film legacy lives on and continues to speak eloquently of the long and difficult journey of a courageous and outspoken African American.\r\n\r\nSpecial Features\r\n#\r\n   All new, digital transfers created from the best surviving elements\r\n#\r\n   Audio commentaries by historians Jeffrey C.

I\'m just now watching Hellman\'s Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) btw. Maybe I should check out Cockfighter next.\r\n\r\nThe problem I have with Almendros\' films on Video or DVD is that imo his lighting of scenes (or his use of natural light) can be crucial to the experience of the film, as it isn\'t only an aesthetic choice but influences my perception of the character\'s feelings, sets the mood for the whole film. I recently watched the introspective Mes petites amoureuses (1974) again, and the difference between the mediocre image on DVD and the exceptional beauty of the 35mm print I had previously seen was striking. One totally couldn\'t see what was so exceptional about his work on this one, and I would say that his cinematography for Eustache is some of the best you\'ll ever get to see! \r\n\r\nAfter this experience I kept wondering how many films I had failed to appreciate because I hadn\'t been able to watch a good copy of them. It\'s like Van Gogh\'s paintings without the vibrant colors! \r\n\r\nSo we have to be deeply thankful to companies like Criterion who try to offer us the best possible image and audio (another crucial aspect) they can get. Still more important though is the work of archivists and restorers who take care of the original prints. For to see a film as intended by its creators and in its full glory you have to see it on film. So I\'m not sure if HD will actually be such an improvement, at least for the vast cultural legacy which films from the 19th and 20th century represent.','3fc2c4f283648cc655a3a105c2b47271',0,'','QxwABfN3',1,0,'',0,0,0),(12942,2286,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1181784000,1,0,1,1,1,1,'wpqx','Re: Criterion','I do think you shouldn\'t disregard Wexler\'s contributions to Days of Heaven (and American film in general).

I think his two famous works Sans Soliel and La Jetee are available in the U.K.\r\n\r\nI initially read about it in Film Comment: it was reviewed by British critic Chris Darke (too bad it\'s not available online).

Don\'t know if I\'ve bothered to mention this but I\'m a huge fan of Chapelle\'s and have watched and re-watched his show very often. Also a chance to see a movie with a reunited Fugees and Black Star was hard to pass up, I just wish my friends hadn\'t been so indecisive about seeing it in the theater. I was all about going to the more animated theater generally reserved for people of African decent. The theater is a ghetto, but the crowd is much more lively than at any other place, and in the case of this film, it really would have felt like a party. This is the same theater that has missing ceiling tiles, garbage bags over certain seats, and had a power outage when I went to see Rize a year ago. it also happens to be very close, and not surprisingly really cheap. But I think a few of my friends are a little scared of black people (at least large gatherings in a dark place), so I have to sit with it on DVD. As for your purchases A, nothing too surprising except for the fact that all those films were that damn cheap. Mean streets would be my favorite amongst the ones you got, and if that\'s one of the films you haven\'t seen, then you\'re in for a treat. When you do get to watch it, you should try and get some comments posted in my dormant Martin Scorsese thread.','31ecd5ae9487fc020c3c94f30a08b97e',0,'','tsyzFXZe',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13134,2287,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1150566480,1,0,1,1,1,1,'A','Re: Recent DVD Purchases','Yes, I haven\'t seen Mean Streets, yet so it was a good deal purchasing it for 3 Euros. There is also some interesting bonus material on it. From the others I haven\'t seen most of the japanese titles, yet, and I\'m most interested in \"Black Angel\" by Takashi Ishii, and Fukasaku\'s film.\r\nBut as I own them now, it will probably take some months until I watch any of them. \r\nFilms I own or tape from TV, I usually only watch if I can\'t get my hands on anything else. As this seldom happens (lots of libraries and videostores) you\'ll probably have to wait for my Mean Streets review. But I\'ll post one. \r\nSame goes for the german DVD\'s, though I probably won\'t leave the german film thread untouched for too long a time.\r\n\r\nAs for info on Marseille, the german film magazine \"Revolver\" (one of the best and most unknown) has started their own DVD edition with films that for one reason or another didn\'t get released on this medium. Of course they will be releasing only personal favorites by the staff, and as long as enough people keep buying them. Their first effort was Marseille at the end of last year, while DVD no.2 (Le fils by the Dardenne Brothers) has come out this month. I hope the edition will be successful enough to have a long life, as I will probably be buying all of the titles. Maybe the next release will be of a film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, as the people at the magazine are huge admirers. \r\nTo release the films, they have teamed up with a german videostore \"Filmgalerie 451\" that keeps releasing obscure german and international films infrequently for the past ten years in cinema and on home video. They have relesed some great german films like \"Goff in the desert\" by Heinz Emigholz, or Bungalow by Ulrich Khler. \r\nThe webpage where you can get their stuff is written in german, and I have no idea how it is with international shipment. But maybe you can get most of the films through other internet stores.','b22af6a99ecdba79b1a504b7e570e8b1',0,'','aKuFP7dJ',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13135,2287,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1150582440,1,0,1,1,1,1,'trevor826','Re: Recent DVD Purchases','Everything is Illuminated,\r\nBirth (due to arsaib4\'s praise) \r\nand Ae Fond Kiss (for my wife). \r\n\r\nAll in a 3 for 10.00 deal.\r\n\r\nCheers Trev.','8aa9a0ac314a29eb9e6b9d9ddb307185',0,'','UzBc4Zex',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13136,2287,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1150586280,1,0,1,1,1,1,'trevor826','Re: Recent DVD Purchases','Nice bundle of dvd\'s A, can\'t wait to hear your opinion on the ones you haven\'t seen before.

The references to Zulawski\'s other films seemed quite thin to me (at least, in the beginning) and the most noticable difference between this film and his other features were the dialogues. As there were almost no dialogues. It is partial an adaption of the so-called \"Lunar Trilogy\", written by Zulawskis grand-uncle Jerzy and almost every sentence is a philosophical assumption or even a little discourse of its own. So, not according to the four other films I\'ve seen by him up to now (\"L\'Important c\'est d\'aimer\", \"Possession\" and \"La Fidlit\"), I was extremely exhausted after this three hours but the concentration was worth it as I conformed a lot with Zulawskis points. \r\n\r\nOnce, a critic wrote that this film probably could have been Zulawskis breakthrough if he would\'ve been able to finish it in 1977 and the whole affair indeed seems as an incredible injustice to me right now.','07b4a59b5e6d2122425ff56150858901',0,'','eduMH6Y4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13321,2287,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1191145980,1,0,1,1,1,1,'arsaib4','Re: Recent DVD Purchases','That\'s funny because I recently contacted A about a piece on Zulawski which I wasn\'t able to locate (I still can\'t but that\'s another story).

If you\'re interested in political / social cinema and in italian society and politics (of the 60ies and 70ies) you should check out his films, arsaib. It\'s a real pity that mostly, only his weaker efforts made their way to the US. If you can, track down \"Confessions of a Police Captain\" (1971, I believe there are only cheap Pan & Scan-DVDs of it available in the US:-/) and \"I am afraid\" (1977) which are, in my opinion, his best films and nearly flawless examples for political cinema. Maybe I should open a Thread for Damiani - he\'s one of my favourites and considering how famous Constantin Costa-Gavras\' \"Z\" (maybe the only film which is somehow similar to his style) is, it\'s even more unfair how unknown Damiani still is - he certainly would\'ve deserved more attention - no other filmmaker ever dealed with the corrupting Mafia influences on politics and individual persons in Italy, the Terror of the red brigades and facism under Mussolini with such an enormous consequency, energy, anger and ambivalence. Beside two exceptions, all the (12) films he made between 1968 and 1980 had no other topic, it probably was his deadly serious life-task.','0186bfe10fd3ed34b5bd4944ffa5ea91',0,'','PyBuWE6e',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13349,2287,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1199792640,1,0,1,1,1,1,'arsaib4','Re: Recent DVD Purchases','Yes, Confessione di un commissario di polizia al procuratore della repubblica is available on DVD here; under the title The Bad Cop Chronicles - Confessions of a Police Captain.

Damiani\'s acting department was very interesting at that time, he also managed to get amazing performances from Giuliano Gemma, Nino Manfredi and the young Michele Placido, performances of a level which was superior compared to most of the other films they appeared in. The most bizarre appearence is probably Erland Josephson\'s (!!!) italian prosecutor in \"I am afraid\".\r\n\r\nHave you also seen Constantin Costa-Gavras\' \"Z\"?\r\n\r\nI love demonlover, and I\'d like to believe subtitles are required in order to experience it properly.\r\n\r\nThat\'s what dubbing is for...

In Three Crowns of the Sailor (France, 1983, 117 mins.), a surreal drama based on the Chilo myth of \"Caleuche,\" or \"The Ship of the Dead,\" a sailor spins fantastical yarns of far-off brothels, opium dens, and exotic characters for a young boy who just committed murder. Sacha Vierny (Night and Fog) lends his beautiful black-and-white lensing to the avant-garde staple The Hypothesis of a Stolen Painting (France, 1979, 63 mins.), in which a pompous art collector guides a tour through a fantastic gallery of \"living images.\" As the human artworks begin to smirk and fidget, a new level of spectatorship is introduced into this daring meditation on the relationship between words and images. And in The Suspended Vocation (France, 1978, 96 mins.), based on a Pierre Klossowski novel about his experiences in the seminary during the German Occupation, Ruiz uses a complex parallel narrative to offer a critical examination of the mysteries of the Catholic Church.\"\r\n\r\nThe 2-disc set being released by Facets on April 24th includes two 30-minute interviews with Ruiz and a collectible booklet by Ruiz scholar Brnice Reynaud.\r\n\r\n[Note: Three Crowns of the Sailor was released individually by Facets last year, while The Suspended Vocation was provided as an extra on the disc of The Hypothesis of a Stolen Painting.]','e8564e4ece30e44c4cf69de16934a3a2',0,'','jNDtViz5',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13436,2288,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1176407160,1,0,1,1,1,1,'wpqx','Re: US releases','I\'ve only seen Hypothesis, and planned on getting around to Three Crowns eventually.

This tragic trilogy set during the Mexican Revolution was possibly his greatest achievement. Prisoner 13 (1933, 76 mins.) concerns a son who pays for his father\'s faults and a desperate mother who tries at all costs to save her son\'s life. El Compadre Mendoza (1933, 85 mins.) examines the corrupted ideals of the Revolution by way of an opportunistic landowner, who must choose between remaining loyal to a general in Zapata\'s army (and facing financial ruin) or saving his own skin. Lastly, Fuentes\' sweeping epic Let\'s Go with Pancho Villa (1936, 92 mins.) follows the adventures of six young men who leave their rural homes to join Pancho Villa\'s army, enduring hardship, loss, and disillusionment over the Revolution in the process. Shot by Gabriel Figueroa (The Fugitive [and Los Olvidados]), one of the world\'s most gifted black and white cinematographers.\"\r\n\r\nThis 3-disc set is now available.\r\n\r\n[Note: Mendoza and Prisoner were individually released on DVD in 2006 (the latter ended up on my DVD list), while Pancho Villa has been available since late 2005.]','cb20cad0ea19a28579795d9b53aa7b4d',0,'','Axo0kbNe',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13440,2288,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1182487200,1,0,1,1,1,1,'arsaib4','Re: US releases','\r\n\r\nDescripton courtesy of Facets:\r\n\r\n\"Contemporary Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad became a legend in her own time for her innovative and controversial writings.

This musical western is standard genre fare, but Jorge Negrete and Libertad Lamarque give spirited performances, and the zany plot--part gangster film, part adventure musical--is undeniably lively. The Young One (Mexico/USA, 1960, 95 mins., in English) is a powerful work about racism and sexual exploitation. A northern black jazz clarinetist (Bernie Hamilton) fleeing from false rape charges turns up on a small island off the Carolina coast and finds himself being hunted by a game warden (Zachary Scott).

And that\'s not because most of them would be licensed to foreign distributors, but more often producers seem to think them unnecessary. Well, as we all know big money couldn\'t be made, but there are some companies that aknowledge the existence of movielovers who aren\'t interested merely in Hollywood stuff and are able to operate the internet. \r\n\r\nMaybe the ignorance for the foreign market becomes more clear when compared to countries that operate in a similar way (e.g. Japan or France). And unfortunately people don\'t listen to me. \r\n\r\nAnyways, here\'s what I can do for you. \r\n\r\nI have decided to list the films chronologically by year of production. The label which released the subtitled or English edition is highlighted. I have also linked to Amazon or other retailers if possible.

The films were \'free\' in the sense that they were made outside the framework of the film industry, and that their statements were personal. These films had in common the conditions of their production (very low budget, unpaid crew) and the equipment they employed (hand-held 16mm cameras) but also a style and attitude. Mostly funded by the British Film Institute\'s Experimental Film Fund, they featured ordinary, mostly working-class people at work and play, displaying a rare sympathy and respect, and a self-consciously poetic style. They also shared an experimental approach to sound, avoiding narration and imaginatively counterpointing sound and image. The collection contains the films O Dreamland (Anderson, 1953), Momma Don\'t Allow (Reisz & Richardson, 1955), Together (Mazzetti, 1956), Wakefield Express (Anderson, 1952), Nice Time (Tanner & Goretta, 1957), The Singing Street (McIsaac, 1952), Everyday Except Christmas (Anderson, 1957), Refuge England (Vas,1959), Enginemen (Grigsby, 1959), We Are The Lambeth Boys (Reisz, 1959), Food For A Blush (Russell, 1955), One Potato, Two Potato, The Vanishing Street, Tomorrow\'s Saturday, Gala Day and March To Aldermaston. The Gala Day Notes from the original 1956 free cinema programme state the following: No film can be too personal. The image speaks. Sounds amplifies and comments. Size is irrelevant. Perfection is not an aim. An attitude means a style. A style means an attitude.\"\r\n\r\nIt is priced at around 24.99 GBP.','c54334e137290534138af17cdd128f84',0,'','RmdzZSnV',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13716,2297,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1142085960,1,0,1,1,1,1,'trevor826','Re: UK Releases','Also available from 13 March, the wonderful Howl\'s Moving Castle from Optimum Asia.

Set shortly after World War II, and concerning a struggling marriage between salaryman Hatsunosuke (Ken Uehara) and his wife Michiyo (Setsuko Hara), it focuses on the emotional crisis of the bored housewife. The repetitive tedium of her domestic life is brought into focus by a visit from Hatsunosuke\'s niece, Satoko (Yukiko Shimazaki ) on whom Hatsunosuke lavishes much attention.\r\n\r\nAdapted from a novel by Kawabata Yasunari, the first Japanese author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, Sound Of The Mountain (1954) is one of Naruse\'s best-known and most respected films, typifying his preferred genre of shomin-geki (films about the daily lives of ordinary people). Set in the ancient seaside town of Kamakura, Kawabata\'s home, the film depicts the increasingly close relationship between a childless young woman, Kikuko (Setsuko Hara), and her father-in-law, Shingo (So Yamamura), to whom she turns as her own marriage, to the neglectful and philandering Shuichi (Ken Uehara), disintegrates. The more Shuichi destroys his marriage, the closer Shingo and Kikuko become.\r\n\r\nThe third film, Flowing, directed in 1956 (the year that prostitution was outlawed in Japan), explores the inner workings of a changing world, as traditional geishas faced the impending decline of their hidden way of life and the looming spectre of prostitution. It depicts the story of a widow, Rika (Kinuyo Tanaka), who is forced to work for a living and becomes a maid in a struggling Tokyo geisha house, where Tsutayakko (Isuzu Yamada ), its proud mistress, tries to save the house from becoming either a restaurant or a brothel. It is through Rika, a surrogate for the viewer, that we are introduced to the various geishas, who drink and fight, worry over the lack of clients, and attempt to stave off imminent extinction.\"','86b3f9595cc505cd7b3f823a3b8769f9',0,'','zUG3pM5e',1,0,'',0,0,0),(13771,2297,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1158049860,1,0,1,1,1,1,'arsaib4','Re: UK Releases','[NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD IN THE U.K.]\r\n\r\n\r\n*New filmed introduction by Jonathan Romney on Rivette and Paris nous appartient. \r\n*Le Coup du berger (Rivette, 1957, 27 mins, English subtitles). \r\n*Illustrated booklet with a review by Tom Milne; feature by Louis Marcorelles, originally published in Sight & Sound; director biography.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n*New filmed introduction by Jonathan Romney on Rivette and Cline and Julie Go Boating. \r\n*Toute la mmoire du monde (Alain Resnais, 1956, 20 mins, English subtitles).\r\n*The Haunted Curiosity Shop (R.W.
