• LE PONT DU NORD (Masters of Cinema) (DVD) | DVD | (29/07/2013) from £16.18   |  Saving you £1.81 (11.19%)   |  RRP £17.99

  The culmination of New Wave master Jacques Rivette's legendary middle period (which ranged from L'Amour fou through Out 1 Céline and Julie Go Boating Duelle Noroît and Merry-Go-Round) Le Pont du Nord envisions Paris as a sprawling game-board marked off with tucked-away conspiracies where imagination and paranoia intermingle; where the hinted-at stakes are sanity life and death. Regular Rivette actress Bulle Ogier stars as Marie a claustrophobic ex-con who shortly after wandering into Paris encounters the wild and potentially troubled young woman Baptiste (Pascale Ogier Bulle's actual 22-year-old daughter). Baptiste a knife-wielding self-proclaimed kung-fu expert with a drive to slash the eyes from faces in adverts (including in one instance those on a placard for Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha) accompanies Marie on her quest to solve the mystery behind the contents of her former lover's (Pierre Clémenti's) suitcase: an amalgam of clippings patterns and maps of Paris that points to a vastly unsettling labyrinth replete with signs and intimations whose menacing endgame remains all too unclear. Gorgeously shot by the master cinematographer William Lubtchansky Le Pont du Nord is a freehweeling powerful experience whose hypnotic rhythm and ominous undercurrents resolve into a frightening and exhilarating portrait of post-revolutionary early-'80s Paris – and in turn form a prime example of Rivette's uncanny occult cinema. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Jacques Rivette's rare and essential feature Le Pont du Nord on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time anywhere in the world.

• Terri | DVD | (29/07/2013) from £11.29   |  Saving you £4.70 (29.40%)   |  RRP £15.99

  A hit at the Sundance Film Festival, Terri, directed by Azazel Jacobs and produced by the team behind Blue Valentine and Half Nelson, is a moving and often funny film about the relationship between Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an oversized teen misfit and the loquacious but well-meaning vice principal (John C. Reilly) who reaches out to him. Resigned to his outsider status, Terri is surprised when vice principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, takes an interest in him. Under Fitzgerald's tutelage, Terri befriends a pair of fellow misfits and finds an unexpected, imperfect bond that reflects the tenuousness, poignance and pathos of the adolescent experience. Deftly combining authentic and candid elements with wry humor and compassion, Jacobs tells Terri's story with delicacy and complex emotionality, as the young man learns to reach outside his insular world. A film about the courage it takes to build relationships TERRI is for anyone who ever felt alone or misunderstood in high school.

  Uncover the dark truths behind the Nazi regime. Nazis: The Occult ConspiracyFrom the ashes of World War I Nazi leader Adolf Hitler attempted to build a sinister new world order led by a so-called race of supermen spreading a reign of terror unlike any other the world had ever known. Nazism was no mere political movement as is commonly believed; rather it was an occult religion in which Hitler was the messiah Heinrich Himmler the high priest and the SS Death Head Formation as the clergy. Dark Fellowships: The VrilOne of the most terrifying occult groups in all of history began nearly 100 years ago as a secret cabal of men who sought Aryan supremacy. They believed a mysterious substance called 'Vril' would help them take over the world. This dark fellowship existed at the core of the Nazi party. Nazi UFO ConspiracyWas Hitler trying to build a secret weapon that would move like a flying saucer and decimate Allied bombing fleets over Germany? We know that Nazi scientists were experimenting with flying wings as well as building the first ballistic missiles. This programme reveals evidence that this flying saucer actually flew. See what it would have looked like and imagine the chaos it would have created amid Allied aircraft.

Nelson Mandela initiated the repair injecting the country with a spirit of freedom tolerance and justice. He was the man who gave hope to his nation and to the world. Mandela's path was a long and lonely one but he was a brave patient man who knew that the darkness that had enveloped his country must eventually pass and a new dawn would come.
