1970s comedy duo Nino (Santiago Segura) and Bruno (El Gran Wyoming) rose to fame after a chance meeting and a first gig that should have been considered a disaster. With Bruno as the straight man and Nino as the dumb half of the team, their act was based on humiliation, which eventually lead to destructive offscreen resentment. Now, years later, they are on the way to their reunion show--with the wedge between them as wide as ever. On the eve of this history making broadcast, their manager recounts the few ups and the copious down of this painfully mismatched--yet still beloved--comic duo. This unique black comedy was co-written and directed by acclaimed Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia (DAY OF THE BEAST).

A vivid portrait of the 70`s record AJA by Steely Dan. Band-members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen recall the history of an album that was a year in the making, but rewarded with a Grammy Award and 3 hit singles. British songwriter Ian Dury, the Doobie Brothers` Michael McDonald, and music producer Gary Katz all add their fascinating anecdotes to this highly involving rockumentary. All in all, AJA is an inspiring look into the dedication it takes to be a musician.

White (DVD)
Part two in Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski`s THREE COLORS astounding trilogy, WHITE represents Equality (of Liberty and Fraternity) in the French flag and the French national motto. Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a sweet but awkward Polish hairdresser, has just lost everything in a bitter divorce settlement--his cold-hearted French wife, Dominique (Julie Delpy) having taken their home, credit cards, and business. The poor Karol finds himself stranded in Paris, speaking very little French; once he returns to his native Poland, his luck changes for the better. He manages to make a small fortune and a name for himself. Although he`s moved up in the world, he still thinks about his former life with Dominique, and it is his memories, good and bad, that lead him to stage his disappearance, and which initiate an unusual chain of events. WHITE is a more lighthearted and leisurely affair than BLUE or RED, adding a well-rounded dimension to the trilogy. Kieslowski and Krzysztof Piesiwiczs script thrusts the characters into odd predicaments, and then ingeniously backs off to tell the tale of Karols revenge, succeeding in laying enough emotional groundwork to justify Karols sincere change of heart.R"
