Kolberg: The Restored 1945 Epic Directed by Veit Harlan (2019 Release Issue) (DVD)
Highlighted Features
- Comes with description Booklet of the
- Subtitled in English
Remastered in HD with Switchable English or Spanish Subtitles Filmed over late 1943 and 1944, Kolberg drew upon the historical resistance of East Prussian townsmen against Napoleon in 1807 in arguing its case for total war against the Allies. Its bone-jarring climax, showing Kolberg bombarded into rubble and flames by French artillery fire, unmistakably evokes Allied bombing raids across Germany at the time. Even as the Nazi regime was entering its last phases, it devoted lavish resources to staging Kolberg s spectacular battle scenes, detonating tons of explosives and diverting thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers from the front. Released amidst the chaos of early 1945, Kolberg was shown in a handful of Germany s still intact movie houses; today this apotheosis of the Nazi cinema survives as National Socialism s final statement to posterity. This new DVD edition represents a vast improvement over previous existing versions, featuring improved subtitles, restored sound and a painstaking restoration of the original Agfacolor in all its temperamental glory. Directed by Veit Harlan. Starring Heinrich George, Kristina Söderbaum and Horst Caspar. Music by Norbert Schultze. Germany, 1945, Color, 104 min., switchable (Optional) English or Spanish subtitles. SPECIAL FEATURES: · Scene Selections · Historical Background Autoplay Slideshow · Goebbels 1943 Total War Speech Newsreel · Actors Biographies · Digitally Restored and Remastered · Electronic Essay Booklet "Kolberg:The Apotheosis of Nazi Cinema" · Optional English or Spanish Subtitles

The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn
Highlighted Features
In this "energetic" (Kirkus Reviews) re-creation of Anne Boleyn's tragic life -- and death -- Robin Maxwell offers a pitch-perfect version of a bawdy and exuberant time filled with lust, betrayal, love, and murder. When the young Queen Elizabeth I is entrusted with Anne Boleyn's secret diary, she discovers a great deal about the much-maligned mother she never knew. And on learning the truth about her lascivious and despotic father, Henry VIII, she vows never to relinquish control to any man. But this avowal doesn't prevent Elizabeth from pursuing a torrid love affair with her horsemaster, Robin Dudley -- described with near-shocking candor -- as too are Anne's graphic trysts with a very persistent and lustful Henry. Blending a historian's attention to accuracy with a novelist's artful rendering, Maxwell weaves compelling descriptions of court life and devastating portraits of actual people into her naughty, page-turning tale. The result is a masterpiece of historical fiction -- so prophetic of our time that one would think it were ripped from today's headlines.
