Herzog/Kinski Collection from Anchor Bay Entertain Price: $80.98 Customer Review:  I'm of the opinion that Werner Herzog is one of the three best filmmakers of the past thirty years. What really distinguishes greatness, in my mind, is a personal stamp on every film. Knowing that whatever movie they make, whether it's from an original source or an adaptation, it will be theirs... |

Wings of Desire from MGM/UA Video Price: $19.98 Customer Review:  FILM COMMENTS Probably Wim Wenders' most beloved film, "Wings of Desire" is one of those movies that works on a emotional -- rather than intellectual -- level. Interesting, since it's based on the dense -- though lovely -- poems of Rainer Maria Rilke, and sure ain't light on long, ponderous, wordy... |

Run Lola Run from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Catch this superb German film before Hollywood decides to remake it (and believe me, they will). This is cinema in its purest, most kinetic form. The plot is simple: Lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks that her boyfriend Manni owes to drug dealers, otherwise he's going to have to rob... |

Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy (The Marriage of Maria Braun / Veronika Voss / Lola) - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $71.96 Customer Review: Since I watched this movie in 1980 I became a real admirer of the genius of Mr. Fassbinder. All the story is a full circle. It's a untired fight against the fate and the search for the bliss not only of Maria Braun, but Germany in final instance, because the metaphor is brutally clear. The... |

The Blue Angel from Kino Video Price: $31.46 Customer Review: Directed by Josef von Sternberg in 1930, "The Blue Angel" is the most blatant example of degradation in film. This movie from the wanning days of the Weimar Republic was one of the first films to specifically display the degradation of a man by a woman. Emil Jannings plays Professor Immanuel Rath,... |

Aimee and Jaguar from Zeitgeist Video Price: $26.99 Customer Review: What a beautifully filmed story - I was transported to Berlin during the Nazi regime and became emotionally attached to the characters. I felt the fear as the Nazi's steadily & feverently hunted down and deported the remaining Jewish people with heartbreaking viciousness. I felt as if I knew the... |

Nowhere in Africa (German with English Subtitles) from Columbia Tristar Hom Price: $26.06 Customer Review: While "Out of Africa" acquainted movie-goers with the wild territory of Kenya while spinning a yarn of romance, adventure and failure, the new film "Nowhere in Africa," which gives us English subtitles for the German content, breaks out with a story of compassion, passion and the perils of human... |

The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $35.96 Customer Review: I think I was 11 years old when I first saw this film and now, 30 years later, it remains one of the most haunting cinematic experiences I've ever had. Some movies - like great art in any form - just don't seem to age. Everything one could wish for in a first-class thriller is here: complex plot and... |

Fitzcarraldo from Anchor Bay Entertainment Price: $31.48 Customer Review: A riveting film set in the surreal beauty of the Amazon. Fizcarraldo is about obsession, motivation, will, and the realities that block the realization of our dreams -- or is it the dreams that block the realization of our reality? Fitzcarraldo (an amazing performance by Klaus Kinski) is obsessed... |

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser from Anchor Bay Entertainment Price: $26.98 Customer Review: First, the original title of this film is *not* The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. It's Every Man For Himself And God Against All. The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser - also The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser - are America-only titles. That really doesn't detract from anything, but if you're ever looking for... |

Richard Strauss - Salome / Peter HallEdward DownesMaria Ewing,ROH Covent Garden from Kultur Price: $26.96 Customer Review: Miss Ewing in the title role was up the task from beginning to end. There are very very few in opera who can meet the high standards of singing with looks to match. Usually, we will allow them to be only close to the character they play IF their vocal ability is outstanding. But, in Miss Ewing's... |

After several deceiving versions, this is the BEST I know. Absolutely great even better than the more recent Naxos version. Christina is absolutely wonderful, childish and in agony...her decadence is very touching. Her voice is precise and... |

Funny Games from Fox Lorber Price: $13.48 Customer Review: If this isn't horror, then I don't want to know. Although I've seen a lot of effectively disturbing films, Funny Games has got to be the most uncomfortable of the lot. It is an unrelentingly cold film, just as it is equally clever to the point where I cannot help but smile at what I'm being... |

Wagner - Parsifal from Image Entertainment Price: $31.49 Customer Review: Syberberg does with visual imagery what Wagner does with leitmotivs. The result is a work of genius twice blest.
