House by the Cemetery (DVD)
Dr. Norman Boyle (Paolo Malco), of the New York Historical Society, accepts a research assignment abandoned by a colleague who has committed suicide. The project requires the researcher to temporarily take up residence in a New England mansion along with his wife, Lucy (Katherine MacColl) and their son, Bob (Giovanni Frezza). Norman discovers his colleague had become consumed with the history of the home`s original owner, a turn-of-the-Century surgeon named Dr. Freudstein who possessed a fondness for illegal experiments. Further investigation reveals Freudstein had found a way to stay alive by using cells derived from fresh human blood. The Boyles find out the hard way that the maggot-stuffed, undead doctor remains lurking in the shadows of the house, killing anybody who crosses his path.
While the plot does at times lose itself to vagueness and the inexplicable, Italian director Lucio Fulci reinforces his Godfather Of Gore moniker as visceral sequences (human mutilation aplenty, along with a gut-wrenching decapitation) unfold before the camera in the maestro`s customary extreme close-up style. Made during the height of his career, HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY is one of Fulci`s most admired favorites. A percentage of the film`s popularity must also be credited to the inadvertently humorous English dubbing of Italian child star Giovanni Frezza`s Bob character, performed by a much older female actress.NR"

Modern dance choreographer Hans van Manen infuses his pieces with a politics of sexual difference. The two pieces on this video, Concertante and Black Cake, are both illuminating physical explorations of gender conventions and male-female relationships. Filmed at Munich`s Prinzeregententheater, Concertante has male and female dancers posturing as upper-class ballroom goers, while Black Cake cultivates a tenser, more aggressive confrontation between the sexes.
