Synopsis: Colour, form, area - this is the formula of the greatest pioneer of abstract painting. Kandinsky came to art late in life, but his impact through Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) and Bauhaus paved the way for modern art. In 1913, he created one of the first abstract pictures, the theoretical basis of which was inspired by his essay Über das Geistige in der Kunst (On the Spiritual in Art). Accompanied by Mussorgsky's Pictures From An Exhibition, Labarthe goes on a sensual journey which makes the soul resound with colours and forms.

Nunca editada en DVD, la presente edición corresponde a la digitalización de la mejor copia disponible en VHS de la película de culto de la cineasta Doris Wishman.

En  mayo  de  1998, ¡Khrustalyov, mi auto! se  presentó en  el  Festival  de  Cannes.  Fue  un  escándalo  a  futuro  porque,  enfrentados  con  tamaña  obra  maestra, los críticos abandonaron en masa la proyección deprensa  y  el  jurado,  presidido  por  Martin  Scorsese,no  le  concedió  ni  una  mención.  La  ceguera  del  juicio de entonces se hace más evidente en una visiónactual,  pero  el  espectador  merece  sumergirse  sindemasiada  información  en  la  experiencia,  ponersea prueba y descubrir por sí mismo el argumento, elcontexto  histórico,  el  virtuosismo  extremo  de  Ger-man, el brillo insidioso de la nieve, la amenaza de losautos negros en la bruma y una condensación de las pesadillas rusas desde Dostoievski a Solzhenitsyn.

Rareza nunca editada oficialmente: documental sobre la Guerra de Corea, encargada por el Departamento de Defensa a John Ford.

Detalle:
Ford went to Korea on temporary active duty in the navy from April 15 through May 9, 1959, to make a 16mm film to orient U.S. soldiers there and encourage them to befriend Koreans. An American sergeant (Mark Tapschott, who went on to appear in a hundred tv shows) tells how his partner
Sgt. Kim (Choi Moo Ryong, who went on to appear in 274 Korean movies)helped him overcome his initial fears and suspicions — with help from Kim's sister (Kim Ji-Mee who went on to becomes "the Elizabeth Taylor of Korea" in 372 films).  

At the center of the 46-minute film is a seven minute community council meeting so tedious that it was perhaps not directed by Ford but by Lt. Cmdr. Eric Strutt, USN. Elsewhere family and village scenes, war footage, barracks events, farm and city and vacation spots, and of course a parade are engaging and more inventive.

When Yvonne Rainer made her first feature-length film in 1972, she had already influenced the world of dance and choreography for nearly a decade. From the beginning of her film career she inspired audiences to think about what they saw, interweaving the real and fictional, the personal and political, the concrete and abstract in imaginative, unpredictable ways. Her bold feminist sensibility and often controversial subject matter, leavened with a quirky humor, has made her, as the Village Voice dubbed her in 1986, “The most influential American avant-garde filmmaker of the past dozen years, with an impact as evident in London or Berlin as in New York.”

In Kristina Talking Pictures (1976) Rainer continued her preoccupation with the contradictions between public and private personas with this story of a female lion tamer from Budapest who comes to New York to become a choreographer.
