Sven Nykvist is one of the most respected cinematographers in the history of world cinema. Among his 123 film credits, Nykvist is known primarily as the man who photographed many of Ingmar Bergman's stark Swedish film classics including PERSONA and WINTER LIGHT. Nykvist's Bergman films demonstrated a style based more in naturalistic lighting than the slick standard that was heavily influenced by Hollywood. His pencil sketch approached allowed not only for the realism defined by the lighting, but also framed characters with the distance required for Bergman's deep psychological portraits. Nykvist would go on to shoot films of that are among the most visually complex, subtle, and beautiful with many of the world's first rate directors including PRETTY BABY (Louis Malle), THE SACRIFICE (Andrei Tarkovsky), THE TENANT (Roman Polanski), and CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (Woody Allen). He also branched out into directing with a work of stunning visuals, THE OX. This portrait of the cinematographer and his images is a labor of love, directed by his son Carl-Gustav Nykvist, who has followed in his father's footsteps. Many of Nykvist's collaborators are interviewed, including Polanski, Allen, Susan Sarandon, Liv Ullman, and Gena Rowlands.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Dual LayerAdditional Release Material: TrailersText/Galleries: Director's Notes Filmography - 1.

This documentary, focusing on intellectual Noam Chomsky and his post 9-11 political views, presents a personal interview along with snippets from lectures he delivered around the country in 2001 and 2002. Known more for his stance as a political theorist and charismatic speaker than his work as an M.I.T. linguist, Chomsky is revered by academics, intellectuals, and leftist thinkers from all camps. His straightforward, nonchalant, and always calm and collected manner of expressing himself comes as a soothing relief to people seeking an alternative political voice. Here, Chomsky delves into topics as complex as the War on Terror and the question of why the terrorists hate us, offering new perspective than that of the mainstream media. With little hesitation, he refers to instances in history where the U.S. has supported terrorist regimes by supplying weapons and turning a blind eye, arguing that the U.S. is itself a terrorist state and thus cannot realistically declare a War on Terror. In addition, he notes that while 9-11 marked an atrocious and terrible loss, it was only unique in terms of its victims (Americans), siting equally ferocious attacks on less visible nations. An eye-opening film that attempts to portray truth, and encourages debate, asserting the ability of the American people to work for change within the democratic system, POWER AND TERROR: NOAM CHOMSKY IN OUR TIMES is directed by John Junkerman and produced by Tetsujiro Yamagami.
