Fronted by the enigmatic John Watts on guitar and vocals Fischer-Z leaped onto the music scene in 1979 with their quirky debut album Word Salad. This quartet with Steve Hancock on keyboards Steve Liddle on drums and David Graham on the bass played a rough and tumble form of new wave that was equal parts Roxy Music and Talking Heads with pop art and prog rock leanings. Watts' vocals were extremely distinctive veering from a low baritone to a higher register that was not unlike Pete Townsend on helium. Chart success was immediate with 'The Worker' and 'Pretty Paracetamol' and their second album 1980's Going Deaf featured the international hit 'So Long'. This set was filmed in Bremen in 1981 to promote the band's third album 'Red Skies Over Paradise' that proved to be their biggest selling ever and secured the dedicated following that supports the band concerts throughout Europe today some 25 years later. Set list: 1. So Long 2. Going Deaf 3. Lies 4. The Worker 5. Spiders 6. Room Service 7. Pick-Up Slip-Up 8. Pretty Paracetamal

A 70-minute co-production between various European TV companies Edvard Grieg: What Price Immortality? seeks to reveal the man behind the iconic image of Norway's great national composer. Death in Venice (1971) is immediately called to mind as the narrative unfolds through the memories of an elderly Grieg sitting alone on the deck of a boat, particularly in sequences which suggest a more-than-platonic love for fellow composer Rikard Nordraak. The memory structure likewise suggests the Proust adaptation Time Regained, from the same year, while comparison can also be drawn with Ken Russell's TV composer biopics, particularly the elegiac Song of Summer (1968). Set around performances of two of Grieg's most personal works, the piano Ballade and the String Quartet, director Thomas Olofsson effectively creates a "silent movie" where the storytelling is predominantly visual, eloquently assisted by Derek Jacobi as the voice of the composer. Grieg is played by various actors at different ages, most notably by the distinguished pianist Staffan Scheja, while even without uttering a word Claudia Z makes a charismatic impression as Grieg's wife, Nina. Elegantly composed and lit, this beautiful, resolutely middle-brow film is ultimately far too derivative of previous art films to achieve artistic greatness of its own. On the DVD: the stereo sound and anamorphically enhanced 1.77:1 image are both very good, with the latter showing just occasional grain. Colours and detail levels are excellent. There are no extras, only Spanish subtitles and a choice of English, French and German voiceovers. Trailers for a further five Arthaus DVDs are included. --Gary S Dalkin

Throne of Blood (1957): Kurosawa's film career began in 1936 at the Photo Chemical Laboratories in Tokyo. His directorial debut in 1943 Judo Saga bore evidence of his economy of expression and marked his humanist approach. His Rashomon won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1951 and this led to the 'discovery' of his other works and those of his mentors and peers notably Ozu and Mizoguchi.
