Georges Méliès was not just a pioneer of early cinema, he was central to what we know as film today. An illustrator, magician, filmmaker and inventor, he paved the way for animation and multimedia filmmaking.Of all of Méliès' films, his boldest and most well-known is certainly A Trip to the Moon [Le Voyage dans la Lune], loosely based on the writings of Jules Verne. A Trip to the Moon follows a group of travellers who jet off to the moon from earth on an exploration mission only to end up in peril and captured by the the local inhabitants, the Selenites. Featuring a who's who of theatrical cast from the era, with Méliès himself taking a lead role, this is one of the very first forays into sci-fi cinema, and spawned one of the most iconic images of cinema the man in the moon with a rocket in his eye.A Trip to the Moon is presented here in both black and white and its original colours.

A champion of illumination and experimental shading, Kurosawa brings his unerring eye for indelible images to Shakespeare in this 1957 adaptation of Macbeth. By changing the locale from Birnam Wood to 16th-century Japan, Kurosawa makes an oddball argument for the trans-historicity of Shakespeare's narrative; and indeed, stripped to the bare mechanics of the plot, the tale of cut-throat ambition rewarded (and thwarted) feels infinitely adaptable. What's lost in the translation, of course, is the force and beauty of the language--much of the script of Throne of Blood is maddeningly repetitive or superfluous--but striking visual images (including the surreal Cobweb Forest and some extremely artful gore) replace the sublime poetry. Toshiro Mifune is theatrically intense as Washizu, the samurai fated to betray his friend and master in exchange for the prestige of nobility; he portrays the ill-fated warrior with a passion bordering on violence, and a barely concealed conviviality. Somewhat less successful is Isuzu Yamada as Washizu's scheming wife; her poise and creepy impassivity, chilling at first, soon grows tedious. Kurosawa himself is the star of the show, though, and his masterful use of black-and-white contrast--not to mention his steady, dramatic hand with a battle scene--keeps the proceedings thrilling. A must-see for fans of Japanese cinema, as well as all you devotees of samurai weapons and armour. --Miles Bethany
Eureka Entertainment to release HITLER'S HOLLYWOOD, the story of one of the most important and most dramatic periods in the history of German cinema, in a Dual Format edition (which also includes the 2014 documentary From Caligari to Hitler) on 5 November 2018. Nazi-cinema was a state-controlled industry, subject to rigid political and cultural censorship. At the same time, it aspired to be Great Cinema; it viewed itself as an ideological and aesthetic alternative to Hollywood. A German dream factory. Rüdiger Suchsland's Hitler's Hollywood takes a closer look at the roughly 1000 feature films made in Germany between 1933-1945, examining how stereotypes of the enemy and values of love and hate managed to be planted, into the heads of the German people, through the cinema screens. Features: Option of the original German language version with optional English subtitles OR with English language narration by Udo Kier From Caligari to Hitler: German Cinema in the Age of the Masses Director Rüdiger Suchsland's 2014 documentary on the social and cultural impact of German Cinema during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933)
A photographer finds himself saddled with a young girl whom he must return home, in Wim Wenders' international breakthrough. Philip Winter (Wenders regular Rüdiger Vogler) is at a New York airport when he encounters a young mother. Before he knows it, he is stuck with the woman's nine-year-old daughter (Yella Rottländer), with no information regarding where in Germany she lives. Arriving home, the photographer and his young charge make their way around the country in an attempt to return her to her family. Philip and Alice's bond grows stronger as he documents the way the German landscape has changed, emerging from the decades-long impact of the Second World War. The first entry in Wenders' loose road trilogy it was followed by _Wrong Movement_ and _Kings of the Road_ is one of his most charming films. Vogler is at his charismatic best, and Rottländer proved herself to be a strong screen presence. A stunning European road movie a genre that for so long was dominated by US film production Wenders' drama is as spirited as it is evocative.
