• Let's Get Lost | DVD | (28/07/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Directed by internationally renowned photographer/filmmaker Bruce Weber the Oscar nominated Let's Get Lost offers an incredibly powerful insight into the life of the late jazz great Chet baker. Travelling with the exclusive icon Weber weaves together the life story of a man they called the James Dean of the jazz world charting his incredible rise to international fame and adulation and his tragically rapid demise into womanising and drug addiction. The film uses excerpts from rare performance footage and candid interviews with Baker musicians friends and battling ex wives in what turned out to be the last year of his life. His movie star looks and cool sound set Baker apart but his endless battle with a narcotic addiction also gave a generation of fans a Doomed Youth of their very own. Chet Baker's life plays out like a Kerouac creation as did his death (he fell out of an Amsterdam hotel window age 58) but out of life came some of the most lyrical trumpet playing and jazz vocals ever heard.

  4 FILMS AFTER SHOAH will be released for the first time on DVD in the UK – Claude Lanzmann's four films that he made as follow-ups to his landmark SHOAH each of which explore in further depth specific aspects and events of the Nazis' extermination programme. Featuring the films A VISITOR FROM THE LIVING / SOBIBÓR OCTOBER 14 1943 4PM / THE KARSKI REPORT and THE LAST OF THE UNJUST (released theatrically in the UK & Eire on 9 January 2015) the four films will be released in a 2 x DVD set as part of the Masters of Cinema Series on 26 January 2015 to coincide to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. A VISITOR FROM THE LIVING [1997] is based on an interview conducted by Lanzmann with Maurice Rossel during the filming of SHOAH. A member of the Berlin delegate for the International Committee of the Red Cross from 1942 Rossel was the only member of the organisation to have visited Auschwitz in 1943 and to have also paid a trip to the model ghetto of Theresienstadt in June 1944. SOBIBÓR OCTOBER 14 1943 4PM [2001] recounts the prisoner uprising that took place in the Sobibór death camp in Poland. Only 50 prisoners ultimately evaded capture while the rest were sent to their murders in the gas chamber. THE KARSKI REPORT [2010] is Lanzmann's brief film on Jan Karski the Polish resistance figure who also featured in the final section of SHOAH and which recounts Karski's powerful testimonial given to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter on what he witnessed during a trip to the Warsaw Ghetto and to the extermination camp Belzec. THE LAST OF THE UNJUST [2013] at 218 minutes in length moves between 1975 and 2012 detailing Lanzmann's mid-'70s Rome interviews with Benjamin Murmelstein the last President of the Jewish Council in the Theresienstadt ghetto and the filmmaker's own return to the location 37 years later — providing an unprecedented insight into the genesis of the Final Solution. Bonus Features: DIRECTOR-APPROVED EDITION Optional English Subtitles 2 x DVDs of the four films which total 439 minutes in length 120-PAGE BOOK containing writing analysis and interviews on the films by Claude Lanzmann and Aleksander Jousselin Laurence Giavarini and Emmanuel Burdeau plus more.

• We Are The Lambeth Boys DVD | DVD | (13/04/2009) from £6.99   |  Saving you £9.00 (128.76%)   |  RRP £15.99

  We are the Lambeth Boys is a fascinating glimpse into the everyday lives of working class young people in the Britain of the 1950s. This pioneering documentary - part of the Free Cinema movement - was one of the first films to give this section of the community a voice and remains an important and ground-breaking work. Made for the Ford Motor Company''s 'Look at Britain'' series We are the Lambeth Boys was directed by Karel Reisz who would go on to direct critically-acclaimed feature films such as Saturday Night Sunday Morning and the award-winning The French Lieutenant's Woman. His 'fly-on-the-wall' style allowed his subjects to speak for themselves revealing their hopes and fears their loves and hates as a revolution in youth culture offered new opportunities and new challenges. We are the Lambeth Boys was among the innovative films which paved the way for the modern observational style of documentary. Reisz's subjects are the boys and girls who attend the Alford House Youth Club in London's Kennington. We see them at work at school and most importantly at the youth club. It was here the young people could meet up to chat to debate to play cricket to gossip and to dance. Five decades on this archive film offers a snapshot of the period when Britain's social values were on the verge of being transformed forever and lets those who would lead the transformation speak for themselves. The soundtrack comes from jazz great Johnny Dankworth while respected British television actor Jon Rollason narrates. The brilliance of We are the Lambeth Boys was recognised in its own time - it represented Britain at the Venice Film Festival and won the Grand Prix at the short film festival in Tours France - and it remains an important piece of social history as well as a ground-breaking piece of film making.
