After losing her parents, young flower selling Midori is put up by a fairground group. She is abused and forced to slavery, until the arrival of an enigmatic magician of short stature, who gives her hope for a better future.

A very interesting adaptation of ero-guro master Maruo Suehiro's Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show; The animation is quite unique, it's very "manga styled", a lot of static images, which really adds to the disturbing mood of the movie. Also, worth noting that this was drawn by one man in the course of 5 years!! (other interesting stuff about the movie)

Sauna

Genre: History / Horror
Language: Finnish / Russian (w/ English, Czech and Swedish subs)
Year Of Release: 2008
Length: 1hr 19min
Type of video: DVDR, DVD-5 (.iso)

As a 25-year war between Russia and Sweden concludes, two brothers who are part of an effort to outline new border accords become undone by their actions, and their mistreatment of a young woman during their journey.

bleak atmosphere, an awesome setting, great acting, a confusing yet creepy ending and a story that leaves you with way too many questions...
In my opinion this is well worth the watch for the atmosphere alone, and also it's not as if you see Finnish horrors that often.

In Treasure Town, life can be both peaceful and violent. This is never truer than for our heroes, Black and White - two street kids who claim to traverse the urban city as if it were their own. But in this town, an undercurrent of evil exists and has its sights set on the pair of brothers, forcing them to engage in battle with an array of old-world Yakuza as well as dangerous assassins vying to rule the decaying metropolis, Treasure Town.

Really awesome anime, the focus on the story is on the inner struggles of the main characters in a strangely decaying city. Add to the great characters awesome animation and you've got a pure winner!
Is it just me or are good anime movies quite rare?

Length: 1hr 17min

This is our classic signature documentary film. It is a journey across Asia from Japan to China to document the Martial Arts in their natural setting – the training hall or dojo. Join us as we travel from the Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain to the Budokan of Japan to explore the essence and the spirit of traditional martial training. Over two years in the making, this is an epic account of today’s greatest martial arts masters featuring Moriteru Ueshiba, Masahiko Tanaka, Masao Kagawa, Monk Shi De Yang… and many more. In depth interviews and unrestricted filming of their teaching allows you to fully understand how teacher and student are forging a bond that will last a lifetime.
Soundtrack provided by Yellowbell – a fusion of old traditional instruments and new world melodies.

This is probably my all time favorite documentary, if you're a practitioner of Aikido, Kendo, Karate, Tai Chi or Kung Fu this is simply something that has to be owned. Also if you're just interested in martial arts in general this is a must watch.
Beautiful!
