About this product
Gerhard Richter Painting is a thrilling document of legendary German artist Richter's creative process, juxtaposed with intimate conversations (with his critics, his collaborators, and his American gallerist Marian Goodman) and rare archive material. From our fly-on-the-wall perspective, we watch the 79-year-old create a series of large-scale abstract canvases, using fat brushes and a massive squeegee to apply (and then scrape off) layer after layer of brightly colored paint. This mesmerizing footage, of a highly charged process of creation and destruction, turns Belz's portrait of an artist into a work of art itself.

Spectacular mountain climbing scenes and fast-paced action highlight this rousing adventure. Clint Eastwood (who also directed) is an art professor and ex-government hit man who's lured out of retirement to InchsanctionInch (eliminate) those responsible for a former co-worker's murder. The mission takes him to a dangerous climb in the Swiss Alps. George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee, Thayer David also star. 129 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English.
Like a matador confronting a bull, the artist approaches his easel. As he wields his brush, the painting dances into being before our eyes. Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist of the 20th century, is making art, and famous French director Henri-Georges Clouzot (Diabolique, the Wages of Fear) is making a movie. This entirely new kind of art documentary captures the moment and the mystery of creativity; for the film, the master created 20 artworks, ranging from playful black-and-white sketches to widescreen color paintings. Using inks that bled through the paper, Picasso rapidly created fanciful drawings that Clouzot was able to film from the reverse side, capturing their creation in real time. When the artist decided to paint in oils, the filmmaker switched to color film and employed the magic of stop-motion animation. By contract, almost all of these paintings were destroyed when the film was completed. Unavailable for more than a decade, InchThe Mystery of PicassoInch is exhilarating, mesmerizing, and unforgettable; it is simply one of the greatest documentaries on art ever made. The French government agrees; in 1984 it declared the film a national treasure.
In this creepy shocker, British couple Alan (Malcolm Stoddard) and Kate Marlowe (Cyd Hayman) help a pregnant woman who vanishes after giving birth, leaving them to raise the infant, whom they name Bonnie. Years later, as the Marlowe's other kids begin to suffer mysterious accidents, it starts to look as if little Bonnie (Wilhelmina Green) will do anything to be an only child. With Angela Pleasence, Patrick Barr. 93 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English DTS Lossless stereo; Subtitles English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
