Franz Biberkopf is an unforgettable man: his tender good natured side contradicted by moments of shocking violence. Released from prison following a four year sentence for the manslaughter of his girlfriend he plans to make a new start and a decent life for himself. But a chaotic decadent Berlin of the 20s is not the easiest place for an ex-con to go straight and work is hard to come by. When Franz becomes fascinated by Reinhold a psychotic small-time crook he is soon drawn back into a world he cannot escape. Fassbinders staggering 15 1/2 hour epic is a monument of late 20th-century filmmaking and considered to be the directors masterpiece. Following a massive restoration project overseen by the original editor it is now available for the first time on DVD.

Live from the Bavarian State Opera one of the 20th century's most gripping operas is seen in this unanimously acclaimed Munich production from 1985. The opera staged by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle and conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch tells the story of the goldsmith Cardillac who is unable to part with his creations and recovers the objects he has sold by murdering the purchasers. A sensation at its 1926 premiere Cardillac is based on E.T.A. Hoffmann's celebrated tale of an incomparable but obsessive goldsmith and a rash of mysterious murders in the Paris of Louis XIV. The stellar cast is led by Donald McIntyre - a bass full of character and personality.
