Cutting his teeth on the inventive, satirical À Propos de Nice, Vigo then turned to swimming champion Jean Taris in the experimental Taris, Roi de l'Eau. Vigo's two masterpieces, however, were undoubtedly the comical Zéro de Conduite and the breathatking L'Atalante. Vigo's films were never fully appreciated until well after his death, but now, over seven decades later, Vigo may be celebrated for what he is: a groundbreaking auteur responsible for some of cinema's most beautiful and provocative images.
This collection is a must-have for true cinephiles.
Special Features:
Audio Commentary on L'Atalante by Dr. Wendy Haslem, Lecturer in Film at the University of Melbourne.
Interview with filmmaker Otar Iosseliani
Sound Regained: an insight into the audio restoration of Taris, Zéro de Conduit and L'Atalante
$18.99 (AUD) | $18.99 (AUD) | FASSBINDER ON SOCIETY (3 DVD Set) $18.99 (AUD) RW Fassbinder's keen critique of German society is none more obvious than in this three-film boxset combining Katzelmacher, Chinese Roulette and Satan's Brew, films in which he rages against societal pressures to do with xenophobia, the institution of marriage, patriarchy and the fetishisation of consumerism. Fassbinder's revolutionary spirit comes to the fore in these rare and insightful films. | Rw Fassbinder - The Gangster Films $18.99 (AUD) This stunning three-disc boxset finally unites the trio of French New Wave-inspired film noirs in a single release. Each reworking the hard-boiled gangster genre, Fassbinder's films are some of the most interesting and intriguing of the New German Cinema movement. |
