Harry Wyckoff est un talentueux avocat à qui tout réussit : un excellent travail, une villa de rêve, une femme charmante et deux adorables enfants. Mais quand il est nommé directeur de la nouvelle chaîne de télévision Canal 3, appartenant à une secte, son univers s'apprête à s'écrouler...

Wild Palms, avec ses prises de vues démentielles, sa musique presque hallucinogène, mélange le rêve et la réalité, et nous embarque dans le rêve de domination d'un fou. Une courte série aux airs de chef d'oeuvre.

"Nanking" tells the story of the rape of Nanking, one of the most tragic events in history. In 1937, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped tens of thousands of Chinese. In the midst of the horror, a small group of Western expatriates banded together to save 250,000 -- an act of extraordinary heroism. Bringing an event little-known outside of Asia to a global audience, "Nanking" shows the tremendous impact individuals can make on the course of history. It is a gripping account of light in the darkest of times.

A small-town girl seeks fame and fortune in the big city with mixed results in this drama from veteran Spanish director Bigas Luna. Juani (Veronica Echegui) is a young woman in her early twenties who works as a shop girl in a big-box store in a provincial community. Juani still lives at home with her shiftless father (Jose Chaves) and thick-skinned mom (Mercedes Hoyos), while spending most of her time with her best friend Vani (Laya Marti). Eager for more excitement than their sleepy hometown can provide, Juani and Vani have talked for years about moving to Madrid and trying to break into show business, and one night, after Vani is nearly raped by her thuggish boyfriend Nacho (Gorka Lasaosa) and Juani walks in on her beau Jonah (Dani Martin) having sex with another woman, they pack their bags and hit the road. Once they arrive in Madrid, Juani takes up with a low-rent film producer, but her dreams of film stardom are soon dashed, while Vani once again falls in love with the wrong guy.

Iranian culture and politics are complex and prone to radical shifts in leadership and values, as this film about a man who murders his brother's unfaithful fiancée shows. His crime, once considered by some as an act of honor, is transformed into shame by the world he meets outside of prison 12 years later. THE PROTEST is a devastating look at Iranian culture through the lens of longtime filmmaker Massoud Kimiayi.

Legendary sex symbol Carroll Baker (BABY DOLL, THE SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH) stars as a mysterious sorceress with an undying hunger for sensual ecstasy and unspeakable torture. But when she casts a spell over a beautiful young fashion photographer (the gorgeous Isabelle De Funes), Milan's most luscious models are sucked into a nightmare world of lesbian seduction and shocking sadism. Are these carnal crimes the result of one woman's forbidden fantasies or is this the depraved curse of the devil witch known as BABA YAGA?

George Eastman (THE GRIM REAPER) co-stars in this provocative EuroShocker (also know as DEVIL WITCH and KISS ME KILL ME) written and directed by Corrado Farina and based on the notorious S&M comic Valentina by Guido Crepax. Blue Underground is now proud to present BABA YAGA restored from pristine vault materials and packed with eye-popping Extras, including never-before-seen erotic outtakes from the Italian Censor's archives as well as the director's own private collection.

Cinq ans après avoir abandonné Libby, sa fiancée enceinte, en pleine cérémonie de mariage, Dennis réalise qu'il est toujours amoureux d'elle et qu'il a fait l'erreur de sa vie. Grâce à Jake, leur petit garçon, il continue de la voir très fréquemment.
Quand il rencontre le nouveau fiancé de Libby, Whit, un beau et riche golden boy de la City, Dennis comprend qu'avec sa bedaine et son modeste salaire de vigile, son idée de la reconquérir ne s'annonce pas vraiment bien.
Ecrasé par la réussite de Whit et ne sachant plus quoi faire pour le concurrencer, Dennis annonce sur un coup de tête qu'il va courir le marathon de Londres. Pour tenir 42 km et tenter de séduire à nouveau celle qu'il aime, Dennis va commencer un entraînement aussi long que douloureux...

 

"All the scenes you will see in this film are true. If they are shocking, it is only because there are many shocking things in this world..." With those words, Directors Gualtiero Jacopetti, Paolo Cavara and Franco Prosperi unleashed the international sensation that stunned critics and moviegoers alike while revolutionizing the documentary genre forever. Filmed in every corner of the world, this landmark epic explores the culture of life and death, the anguish of man and beast, and the taboos of sex and religion, all amidst the barbarism of civilization gone insane. Sometimes beautiful, often horrifying yet always surprising, it remains one of the most disturbing and controversial films of our time. This is the original 'Shockumentary' that started it all. This is MONDO CANE.

MONDO CANE (Italian for "Dog's World") also features a brilliant score by Nino Oliviero and Riz Ortolani that includes the Oscar nominated theme song "More." Blue Underground has painstakingly restored this historic feature from original Italian vault materials untouched for over four decades, and then added an extraordinary collection of all-new and never-before-seen Extras for the absolute ultimate in MONDO-mania!
