Disaster at Chernobyl (2004)

Camp 14: Total Control Zone

Shin Dong-Huyk was born on November 19, 1983 as a political prisoner in a North Korean re-education camp. He was a child of two prisoners who had been married by order of the wardens. He spent his entire childhood and youth in Camp 14, in fact a death camp. He was forced to labor since he was six years old and suffered from hunger, beatings and torture, always at the mercy of the wardens. He knew nothing about the world outside the barbed-wire fences. At the age of 23, with the help of an older prisoner, he managed to escape. For months he traveled through North Korea and China and finally to South Korea, where he encountered a world completely strange to him.

Six Reasons Why

In a desolate place called the Badlands, four men stand off with guns drawn, their fingers ready at the trigger.

This is their story...in a place where revenge, deception and cruelty are a way of life.

Everything but the Girl: Like the Deserts Miss the Rain

The title of Like the Deserts Miss the Rain comes from "Missing," the first of nine videos on this collection (and the band's biggest U.S. hit). While all could be described as "stylish"--much like Everything But the Girl--they're otherwise quite different. Sometimes Tracey Thorne and Ben Watt appear; other times actors take center stage. "Single," for instance, features a man tumbling across town: down the street, into a Laundromat, in and out of a dryer, etc. Then there's the "populist" video for Simon and Garfunkel’s "The Only Living Boy in New York," directed by art house favorite Hal Hartley (Henry Fool). (The duo appears to have added a few dozen members.) The DVD also includes three live performances, including a fine version of Massive Attack's "Protection" (featuring Thorne on vocals), and three demo tracks that play as photos of the duo pass by. A fine career overview of one of the U.K.'s most enduring acts. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

An anthology of arias from Mozart's operas, in which art comments on life through a cheeky use of back-projection and miming to records.

Jethro Tull: Living With The Past

A veritable feast awaits fans of Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull on this elaborate DVD package, which boasts extensive concert footage and a load of extras. The focal point is nearly two hours of performances, filmed in late 2001 (primarily in London, with additional material from several other locations) and featuring material from the band's entire lengthy career, including such staples as "Aqualung" and "Bouree." The current Tull incarnation (featuring, as always, Anderson on vocals, flute, and sundry other instruments) takes center stage; there are also a couple of numbers with a string quartet, and even a small-club reunion of the lineup that made the group's very first album back in 1968. Interviews with band members, testimonials from rabid fans, photos, and even an option for viewing a Tull performance from three different audience points of view are among the generous helping of extra features.

Koyaanisqatsi

Il film non ha né trama né dialogo. Si tratta di un collage di vari filmati, spesso accelerati o rallentati, che vogliono principalmente raffigurare lo sviluppo della civiltà attuale così come la conosciamo noi. Il film guida lo spettatore attraverso un viaggio che inizia con la natura per passare successivamente all'intervento dell'uomo e diventa sempre più frenetico, il tutto sottolineato da una colonna sonora minimalista.

Arca Russa

Per tutta la durata del film vediamo attraverso gli occhi di un personaggio non identificato, del quale sentiamo la voce, che si ritrova, come in un sogno, nel palazzo dell'Ermitage di San Pietroburgo, un tempo residenza degli Zar e oggi museo. L'unica persona che sembra vedere il nostro visitatore è un diplomatico francese dell'ottocento, il marchese Astolphe de Custine, che lo accompagna nel percorso attraverso il palazzo. Attraversando le varie sale e i corridoi i due visitatori si muovono anche attraverso le epoche della storia russa: vediamo Pietro il Grande, l'imperatrice Caterina II, gli zar Nicola I e Nicola II, fino ai visitatori del museo dei giorni nostri. Il viaggio si conclude con una sfarzosa festa al termine della quale una folla di nobili russi si riversa fuori dal palazzo.
