• The Hours And Times | DVD | (27/08/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Although a fictionalized account of an actual trip John Lennon and the Beatle's manager Brian Epstein took to Barcelona in 1963 The Hours & Times is a hugely resonant piece of independent cinema that perfectly captures the calm before the storm of Beatle-mania. Lennon and Epstein were in Spain to relax after a grueling series of concerts and the film charts the acknowledged intensity of their friendship: one that was soon to be diminished by the onslaught of Lennon's worldwide fame. With its black and white cinematography starkly evoking the early 1960's The Hours & Times was nominated for Best Director (Christopher Munch) and for the Grand Jury Prize at The Sundance Film Festival; whilst Ian Hart's performance as Lennon was so acclaimed that he was later asked to reprise the role in the movie Backbeat. Making its UK debut on DVD The Hours & Times is a compelling and controversial look at a man who remains an enigma and an artist who remains an icon.

• F.W. Murnau Horror Classics - Faust / Nosferatu | DVD | (22/10/2005) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The pleasant and peaceful life of a nave country man (George O'Brien) is turned upside down when he falls for a cold-blooded yet seductive woman from the city (Margaret Livingston) who persuades him to drown his virtuous wife (Janet Gaynor) in order to be with her... F. W. Murnau - invited to America by William Fox the promise of complete artistic freedom and a blank cheque - made Sunrise on the cusp of two eras: it represents the silent film at the peak of its poetic sophistication and the sound film in its infancy. Fox told Murnau to take his time to make any film he wished and 'Sunrise' was completed without any studio interference - as though with a dying flourish in a medium which at that moment had achieved a startling richness of expression. It was the swan song of the era. Conceived by Murnau and written by Carl Mayer while they were both still in Germany Sunrise takes a simple situation - the marriage of a peasant couple (George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor) from a country hamlet invaded by a seductress from the city (Margaret Livingston) - and elevates it to the realm of fable stripped of melodrama yet brimming with poetic impulses. George O'Brien becomes almost gothically depressed by his affair and plots a Dreiser-like boat accident for Gaynor his sweet wife. This doom hovers and flits like moonlight over the rest of the film which lithely tries to dodge it. Murnau captivated the Americans with his legendary ""invisible"" tracking shots and together with double exposures expressive lighting and distorted sets the viewer is immersed in the fate of these simple characters. Sunrise won three Oscars at the very first Academy Awards ceremony honouring the 1927-1928 season. Janet Gaynor won for Best Actress; Charles Rosher and Karl Struss for Best Cinematography; and the film itself won a special Oscar for ""Unique and Artistic Picture"" the only time this award has ever been given. This is a restored edition of what Cahiers du Cinema described as ""the single greatest masterwork in the history of the cinema"".
