STELLA is a three-man comedy troupe from New York City, comprised of well-known comedians/actors Michael Showalter, David Wain, and Michael Ian Black. Though the three have made a living performing at comedy clubs, they are perhaps best known for their home-made short films. The STELLA SHORTS have garnered cult success because of their nonsensical plotlines, absurd dialogue, graphic sexual humor, sporatic violence, and sheer hilarity. This DVD showcases the trio's first twenty-three adventures, each one more bizarre and hysterical than the last. Highlights include: a game of whiffleball that goes terribly awry, an expedition to the South Pole (?) to meet Santa Claus, an edge-of-your-seat moustache-growing contest, a twisted "whodunit"-style murder mystery, and much, much more. close

Screen adaptation of the play by Eduardo De Filippo in the production of the Lensovet Theatre.
In the Italian town comes a troupe of wandering artists. They fry a sprat in hotel rooms, carry lard in their pockets and constantly get into ridiculous situations. Wealthy audience picky and actors are waiting for failure. And their benefactor has his troubles. His girlfriend has a jealous husband and he has to pretend to be crazy. In all the pranks and deceptions, he is helped by his acting friends. Life boils around and no less comic characters go crazy in the literal and figurative sense. The plot is set in a hotel, the intrigue develops in the estate of the count, and the culmination is already ... at the police station.
Stupid situations, Napoleonic plans, treacherous wives and selfless lovers. Objective reality on the brink of absurdity close

National Theatre Live’s 2010 broadcast of Alan Bennett’s acclaimed play The Habit of Art, with Richard Griffiths, Alex Jennings and Frances de la Tour, more
National Theatre Live’s 2010 broadcast of Alan Bennett’s acclaimed play The Habit of Art, with Richard Griffiths, Alex Jennings and Frances de la Tour, returns to cinemas as part of the National Theatre's 50th anniversary celebrations. Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by, amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station. Alan Bennett’s play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion’s spent: ultimately, on the habit of art. close
