The Angelic Conversation is a lyrical, haunting film about a young man’s search for love in a dreamlike landscape. Its tone is set by the juxtaposition of slow moving homo-erotic images and opaque landscapes through which two men take a journey into their own desires. Offscreen, Dame Judi Dench recites a sequence of Shakespeare's sonnets that counterpoint the action. Jarman called it, “My most austere work, but also the closest to my heart.” close

The first World War is in its third year and aerial combat above the Western Front is consuming the nation's favored children at an appalling rate. By early 1917, the average life-span of a British pilot is less than a fortnight. Such losses place a fearsome strain on Gresham, commanding officer of the squadron. Aces High recreates the early days of the Royal Flying Corps with some magnificently staged aerial battles, and sensitive direction presents a moving portrayal of the futilities of war. close

Nicholas Baum travels through Holland, Spain and Portugal in search of clues to the mystically fascinating paintings of the forerunner of Surrealism, the medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch (circa 1450-1516). His contemporaries accused him of heresy, alchemy, witchcraft and the use of hallucinogens, causing hellish visions. The world of Bosch is still mysterious and full of secrets. Bosch is a 15th-century Dutch painter whose real name is Hieronymus Van Aken. This name has always been surrounded by a halo of mystery and mystery, too little reliable data about the life of the artist, too unusual and peculiar his work. For today’s viewer, the perception of Bosch’s paintings is complicated by ignorance of medieval symbolism. The combination of things and objects, which seem ridiculous or accidental to us, for the contemporaries of the master had a very specific meaning. For the sake of revealing the inner meaning of what is happening, Bosch resorts to the language of allegory. None of his works have been dated. The world of this artist is such that Bosch’s works continue to delight ordinary visitors to museums who simply love art. close

This inventive, exhaustive seven-hour film looks at the rise, reign and demise of Adolf Hitler. German director Hans Jürgen Syberberg, who was a child during World War II, doesn't try to recreate history to the letter. Instead, he places his actors -- many of whom play several roles -- on a stage and has them reenact events based on and inspired by Hitler's life. The action combines traditional narration and historical characters, but also idiosyncratic tweaks, like the use of puppets. close
