One of the most vile, filthy, and annoying insects to ever annoy a human being, the common housefly is certainly not one of the more endearing varieties of its species. Whatever one may think of it, the housefly is actually a thoroughly remarkable animal, and here, thanks to some amazing macro-photography, it is possible to get closer than ever before to this disgusting winged creature. However, after seeing the remarkably close-up footage of flies going about their daily business battling reptiles, spiders, and fish contained here, one might be inclined to actually have some affection for them.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull FrameInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusDVD-ROM Features: Weblinks

Director Wim Wenders assembled this experimental project with the legendary American director Nicholas Ray. Shot as Ray was dying of cancer, the film finds him surrounded by family and friends as he reflects on his life and career. As he tells some amazing stories about his successes and compromises, it becomes clear that Wenders and Ray are creating something that is far more than a documentary, a film about a great artist and the nature of collaboration.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic - 1.77Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

A visually hypnotizing cinematic feat, RUSSIAN ARK is Alexsandr Sokurov's spellbinding ode to St. Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. Shot in one fluid take using High Definition video cameras, the photography floats and careens through the lavish corridors of the museum, examining its architectural details while following a dreamlike plot. A cast of 867 actors supply the action of the film, whether dancing the mazurka in a lively ballroom, performing a military salute, or watching a theater performance. The Marquis (Sergey Dreiden), an aged but limber European dressed in solid black, is the film's charismatic guide, leading the narrator--who is the unidentified voice behind the camera--through each doorway and into each gallery in a sweeping tour of the Hermitage. While the Marquis interacts with some of the guests, debating about Italian art with a couple of Russian scholars, delighting over rich paintings by Rubens and Van Dyck with an angelic blind woman, taking a lively brunette for a spin on the dance floor, others do not see him. Even the narrator suspects that the Marquis is a ghost, long dead and wandering the Hermitage in a quest to better understand history. Time periods, indicated by style of dress, fluctuate between the 1700s and the present. Famous Russian figures, such as Peter the Great, Nicholas I, and Catherine the Great appear and then disappear, with no explanation of their roles. Between the Marquis and the narrator, confusion reigns. They are spectators and trespassers in this mysterious space, trying to find their way.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseLetterboxedInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
