Decades after the Nazi death camps were finally closed; exclusive new footage from Soviet Film Archives has emerged revealing the true extent of the horrors before what we now know as the Holocaust. While we often think of the camp system as a killing machine of gas chambers at places like Auschwitz, this new film shows Germany was killing on a massive scale earlier than thought. There was another side to the killing, one that is rarely seen or talked about in the West. On the Eastern Front, the figure is estimated as being over one and a half million innocent people shot and buried in mass graves. When Doctor Jeremy Hicks, a Russian Film Historian, visited the Russian State Archive in 2006 what he saw took his breath away. He learned that locked away, there was unseen footage. It shows that the Holocaust wasn't just about industrialised killing, people actually came face-to-face with the perpetrators. This footage opens a new chapter, and it is truly shocking, so it was not an easy decision to show it you will be shocked when you watch it, but it is important that you do. These are the earliest films of the Holocaust, the initial stage, the mass killing by bullets. This preceded the construction of the camps, the gas chambers and crematoria.
TWO WOMEN finally gets the release it deserves, pristinely restored and re-mastered in HD, doing justice to this neo-realist masterpiece which won Sophia Loren an Oscar for ˜Best Actress' the first ever in a foreign-language film. Uniquely, this release is presented in two versions: one in Italian, and one in English, dubbed by Loren herself. TWO WOMEN tells the story of a young widow, Cesira (Sophia Loren) and her 12 year old daughter who flee war-ravaged Rome to Cesira's native village in Ciociaria. Yet, as the allied forces push back the German occupation, the two women fall victim to a devastatingly brutal act at the very hand of the country's liberators.
Anyone who has seen and loved Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves should feel right at home in his offbeat psychological thriller In Dreams. A sexy, very adult take on "Little Red Riding Hood", Wolves unreeled as a series of surreal fairy tales interwoven within the heated dreams of a young girl verging on womanhood. The film's patron saints were Freud and Jung (as sifted through Jordan's wickedly fertile imagination), and the duo is very much aboard for In Dreams as well. Here's a film that takes place entirely in dreamtime, where the dark, violent fantasies of Claire Cooper (Annette Bening)--wife, mother and illustrator of children's books--play out unpoliced by superego, conscience or society. On the face of it, Claire's a clairvoyant whose mind becomes more and more possessed by child-killer Vivian Thompson (Robert Downey Jr.). Cops and shrinks refuse to take her seriously until she loses her own daughter and much, much more. Tapping into weird images of her soulmate's childhood, when he was abused by a hateful mother in a house now submerged in a nearby reservoir, Claire comes closer and closer to her gender-shifting bad boy (and his latest victim). From start to finish, In Dreams dwells in hyper-reality. Whether leeched of or drenched in colour, slipping eerily through an underwater world, rushing madly toward catastrophe--every hallucinatory shot is saturated with menace. It's the kind of potent, unresolved menace that haunts your waking day after a particularly unsettling nightmare. Watch this gorgeous film through Claire's mind, where she and her murderous doppelganger act out a terrible Oedipal drama driven by sex and jealousy. Bening and Downey deliver superb, risky performances, and Darius Khondji's cinematography, with almost every frame punctuated by blood-reds, is sensuously dreamlike. In Dreams is one of those great, flawed films that reaches for more than it ultimately achieves. --Kathleen Murphy, Amazon.com
