"While most of Takashi Miike's (Audition, Visitir Q) films are littered with scenes of casual violence and outrageous perversity, "The Bird People in China" is a gentle film about friendship and the veneration of traditional values. Wada, a salary man, is enlisted to venture off to China to investigate a potential Jade mine. After his arrival, Wada encounters a violent, yet sentimental, yakuza, who takes the liberty of joining his adventure through China. Led on their long and disastrous journey to the mine by Shen, the three men come across something even more magical and enticing -- a secluded village full of people who claim they can fly. The depth of the characters, the breathtaking scenery, and the slow, dreamlike pacing make this film a magical, poetic experience that is sure to enchant and haunt its audiences. Easily one of the most prolific directors of our time, Takashi Miike has proven again and again that he is a powerful force to be reckoned with."

$19.98 (AUD) Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge.

When graduation approaches, Anna decides to stay and violate her student visa... | $19.99 (AUD) From the pen of Ruth Rendell, by way of flambuoyant Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, comes this sexy, noirish thriller. Victor (Liberto Rabal) is naive, inexperienced, and desperately in love with the drug-addled Elena (Francesca Neri). Elena, on the other hand, has no recollection of Victor whatsoever. | $31.99 (AUD) Fairy tales and folk stories have their roots in very old, very deep human fears, fears that director Guillermo del Toro teases out brilliantly in his ambitious, glorious film Pan's Labyrinth. Set against the backdrop of fascist Spain in 1944, Pan's Labyrinth is a breathtaking mix of fact and fantasy, poetry and politics, pain and pleasure to form what is possibly the best film of 2007. A modern masterpiece made entirely on his own terms, with layers of imagery and storytelling folding back on themselves to create a completely formed world, this is remarkable, unique filmmaking. A richly moving story of the end of innocence. Pan's Labyrinth is at once baroque, eerie, smart, passionate, graceful and truly dazzling. |
