Content: One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo#s tour de force has astonishing relevance today. (Covertext)

Content: In this carnivalesque portrait of provincial Italy during the Fascist period, Federico Fellini's most personal film satirizes his youth and turns daily life into a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge, all set to Nina Rota's classic, nostalgia-tinged score. The Academy Award-winning Amarcord remains one of cinema's enduring treasures. (Covertext)

Content: Episodenfilm über Delikte halbwüchsiger Krimineller in drei europäischen Ländern: in Paris wird ein Junge bei einem Ausflug erschossen; in Rom irrt ein Schüler durch die Stadt, nachdem er einen Polizisten erschossen hat, der ihn beim Bergen geschmuggelter Ware überraschte; in London wird ein junger Dichter aus Geltungssucht zum Mörder. Der zweite Spielfilm des ehemaligen Journalisten und Dokumentaristen Antonioni versucht, die Jugendkriminalität durch die Nachkriegsverhältnisse zu erklären. Sein pessimistisches Fazit: eine wirkliche geistige und moralische Erneuerung hat nicht stattgefunden. Die Aussagekraft von Schnitt und Kameraarbeit weist bereits auf die formale Qualität der späteren Antonioni-Werke hin. In Italien und Frankreich hatte der Film zu seiner Zeit Schwierigkeiten mit der Zensur. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)

Content: Der Film beschäftigt sich mit der gesamten Regiekarriere Petris. Er stellt Motive im Schaffen des politischen Regisseurs heraus, setzt sie in Bezug zu gesellschaftlichen Stimmungen, dokumentiert Reaktionen auf die Filme und geht auf Petris Arbeitsweise ein. Er selbst kommt dank historischer Interviewaufnahmen und per Text eingespielter Äußerungen auch zu Wort. So entsteht das umfassende Porträt eines Künstlers, der stets seinen eigenen Ansatz verfolgte und sich mit gesellschaftlichen Problemstellungen auseinandersetzte. (Stefan Dabrock, DVDHeimat)

Content: Pier Paolo Pasolini traveled to Africa, Nepal, and the Middle East to realize this ambitious cinematic treatment of a selection of stories from the legendary The Thousand and One Nights. This is not the fairy-tale world of Scheherazade or Aladdin, though. Instead, the director focuses on the book's more erotic tales, framed by the story of a young man's quest to reconnect with his beloved slave girl. Full of lustrous sets and costumes and stunning location photography, Arabian Nights is a fierce and joyous exploration of human sexuality. (Criterion)
