The Last Emperor (DVD)
THE LAST EMPEROR is the true story of Pu Yi, the last monarch of a China that changed drastically during his lifetime. Though he comes to power at the age of three and is waited on hand and foot by an army of servants and consorts, Pu Yi is politically powerless. His life becomes a tortuous struggle with this reality, as he is used as a puppet by the Japanese and later reeducated by the communists. Bernardo Bertolucci`s award-winning film is epic, lavish, and poignant.NR"

The Snake People (DVD)
Voodoo! Zombies! Cannibal women! exclaims the Chief of Police (Ralph Bertrand) after finding a mutilated corpse shortly assuming control of a mysterious island in the Caribbean. Also newly arrived to the island is Mademoiselle Wunderberg, the niece of mysterious Mr. Van Molder (Boris Karloff) a plantation owner who conducts strange experiments with telekinesis involving his maid Kalea (Yolanda Montes), queen of voodoo. Kalea does lots of scantily dressed snake dancing amid the flames and beating bongo drums, while a painted dwarf in sunglasses keeps the candles lit, and the victims whipped to within an inch of their lives. Elsewhere, a group of cannibal women devour errant men, and one of Van Molder`s ringleaders has resurrected a zombie for necrophiliac purposes. In the film`s weirdest moment, Kalea casts a spell over Mmme. Wunderberg and she has a dream her double rises out of a coffin and sexually molests herself with a snake. It`s all part of the mysterious plan to make Damballah appear, but the identity of Damballah is a mystery, as are what other horrors may await in this bizarre Mexican-American production, one of Boris Karloff`s final films.NR"

Love on the Run (DVD)
Frangois Truffaut`s LOVE ON THE RUN finds the director`s alter ego, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Liaud), in his mid-30s. Relatively content with his young, beautiful lover, Sabine (Dorothie), Antoine still runs from woman to woman, looking to fill the gap in his life--a void that exists because of his inability to commit in relationships and because of his mother`s recent death. As Antoine gains self-awareness, slowly comprehending the reasons for his emptiness, he reflects back on his various relationships. These experiences are related in part through black-and-white flashbacks dictated by the pages of his semiautobiographical book, LES SALADES DE L`AMOUR, and also in his current life as Antoine actively seeks out people and places from his past and attempts to reinvent them in the present. This process involves his first love, Collette (Marie-France Pisier); his second love, Christine (Claude Jade), who eventually became his wife and birthed his son, Alfonse; and his wife`s violin student, Liliane (Dani). With a mixture of frank dialogues about fidelity, love, and scholarship (Antoine works in a book printing house to which he is, occasionally, quite committed) and brilliant camerawork that combines deliberate framing--panes of glass, windows, mirrors, doorways, and gates that communicate the way Antoine distances himself from things--with smooth transitions to flashbacks, future events, and dream sequences, the viewer gets a direct line into Antoine`s subconscious. In this manner of reflecting back and then inching forward chapter by chapter, LOVE ON THE RUN concludes the five-film Antoine Doinel saga in the same playfully endearing fashion that is signature of Truffaut`s entire body of work.NR"
