  A fascinating compilation of some of the more exciting highlights of the 1987 Monte Carlo Rally! Spectacular scenery provided the backdrop for the opening round of the 1988 World Rally Championship the Monte-Carlo Rally. However the historic special stages were without their traditional snow setting up a finely balanced and ultra-fast battle over more than 630 competitive kilometres of dry asphalt. The event would prove to be a real car-breaker eliminating almost half the field during 26 stages. The scene was set for a showdown between the Martini Lancia team that had dominated 1987 and the rejuvenated Mazda team wanting to forget a disappointing season. While the works Lancia Delta HF 4WDs of Bruno Saby and Miki Biasion led the way the Mazda 323s of Timo Salonen Hannu Mikkola and Ingvar Carlsson were in trouble - diesel-contaminated fuel ruining their effort. When Biasion retired the Lancias of Group N Champion Alessandro Fiorio and Yves Loubet joined the battle for victory. Loubet's luck ran out with the end in sight his Lancia crashing into retirement. Behind Saby and the Jolly Club-backed Delta of Fiorio Jean-Pierre Ballet's Peugeot 205 GTi took unexpected third. Incredibly former World Champion Salonen recovered from 42nd to take fifth just behind the battle-scarred Renault 11 Turbo of Alain Oreille. Enjoy incredible action interviews with the stars and some spectacular 'moments' in these excellent highlights.

• For Hire | DVD | (28/02/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  This 1997 thriller For Hire ponders the question of what terrible things a person might be persuaded to do, given the right circumstances and the right price. Rob Lowe plays Mitch, a Chicago cab driver trying to make it as an actor, married to the pregnant Faye. Among his clients are bestselling writer Lou Weber (Joe Mantegna), who befriends Mitch and confides in him that a drug dealer is trying to kill him. Over the next few days, Mitch begins to suffer severe stomach pains, collapsing in Weber's apartment after a fare and is diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer. With only a short time to live, he decides to take up Weber's offer to rub out his drug dealer stalker for $50,000, a nest egg for his family after he's gone. A not entirely unpredictable twist follows, hinted at by the Lucifer-like beard sported by Mantegna and the film alights only briefly to meditate on the potential for evil in all of us before resuming its journey along conventional, though certainly passable Hollywood thriller lines. An intriguing precept--it's just a slight shame that neither the players nor director's hearts seem really to be in this movie. On the DVD: Features a trailer. --David Stubbs

With an eye on the international market, and wishing to avoid subtitles (which he always disliked), Tati shot two versions of the film – Mon Oncle and My Uncle, the latter replacing French signs such as ‘Ecole’ and ‘Sortie’ with their English equivalents and dubbing much of the main dialogue into English. This specially remastered edition contains both versions.

• Muriel, Ou Le Temps D'un Retour | DVD | (30/03/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  If cinema has its equivalents to the master modernists of music painting or literature then one of the tradition's foremost practitioners is undoubtedly Alain Resnais - and Muriel ou le Temps d'un retour (Muriel or: The Time of a Return) represents one of his earliest and greatest triumphs. In Resnais' two preceding features (the legendary Hiroshima mon amour and Last Year at Marienbad) the master filmmaker pioneered new ways of representing inner reality and emotion; but with Muriel he merged the vicissitudes of his characters' personal pasts and married them to the traumas of the political present - namely the French war in Algeria. Resnais' film is the story of the middle-aged H''l''ne (portrayed by Delphine Seyrig of Last Year at Marienbad Truffaut's Stolen Kisses and Akerman's Jeanne Dielman) an antique dealer located in the provinicial port-town of Boulogne-sur-Mer who resides amid her wares inside the same flat that serves as her business showroom. Against the backdrop of the past that exists materially in the immediate milieu of the film's action an old lover of H''l''ne's comes to visit - and soon takes up a more permanent residence within her life despite the presence of a suspicious tortured and sexualised stepson who is haunted by a woman a name from his own past in his time in Algiers: Muriel. Scripted by Jean Cayrol the co-writer of Resnais' landmark early short film Night and Fog Muriel is one of the great family films and stands like a cinema landmark as one of the most complex and rewarding films of the 1960s - the richness of which grows with every viewing.
