• Strawberry & Chocolate (Fresa Y Chocolate) by Alea | DVD | (23/02/2009) from £12.69   |  Saving you £0.30 (2.36%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Groundbreaking and hugely celebrated for numerous reasons Cuba's greatest director Thomas Guiterrez Alea's (Memories Of Underdevlopment) Strawberry And Chocolate (Fresa Y Chocolate) was the first Cuban film ever to receive an Academy Award nomination thanks to its revelatory plot masterful direction and phenomenally crafted performances. Diego a cultivated apolitical sceptical young artist living in Havana initiates a friendship with fiercely communist homophobe David with the intention of seducing him. David knowing this allows the relationship to build so he can spy on a person he sees as aberrant and dangerous to the communist cause. Despite their conflicting sexualities and political ideologies the two slowly build a relationship out of their differences proving that camaraderie and friendship can overcome the most divisive superficialities. An exploration into the seduction of the mind Strawberry And Chocolate shows how politics can shape lives opinions and relationships. Hugely controversial in Cuba even now the film was the first to feature a gay man as the hero while openly criticising the Government and its widespread intolerance. It was this picture that started the dialogue that has only last year allowed Brokeback Mountain to be shown in Havana. Charming nuanced groundbreaking and thought provoking Strawberry And Chocolate is a clear-cut declaration that even in spite of politics love for your fellow man will always triumph if allowed to.

• Heart of a Dog | DVD | (13/06/2016) from £27.99   |  Saving you £-12.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Hello, little bonehead. I'll love you forever. So begins Heart of a Dog, Laurie Anderson's cinematic journey through love, death and language. Cantering on Anderson's beloved rat terrier Lolabelle, who died in 2011, Heart of a Dog is a personal essay that weaves together childhood memories, video diaries, philosophical musings on data collection, surveillance culture and the Buddhist conception of the afterlife, and heartfelt tributes to the artists, writers, musicians and thinkers who inspire her. Fusing her own witty, inquisitive narration with original violin compositions, hand-drawn animation, 8mm home movies and artwork culled from exhibitions past and present, Anderson creates a hypnotic, collage-like visual language out of the raw materials of her life and art, examining how stories are constructed and told - and how we use them to make sense of our lives.
