A documentary on the Apollo space program.

'There is no commentary as such. Instead, Reinert allows the stunning slo-mo images and the many conversations between the astronauts and mission control to speak for themselves. It works a treat, as does the accompanying sound track by atmospheric soundsmiths Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.' Time Out

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Having wasted enormous resources on recapturing Allied prisoners of war, the Germans move the most determined to a new, high-security camp.

'Worth seeing the last half hour, if nothing else, for one of the best stunt sequences in years: McQueen's motor-cycle bid for freedom.' Derek Adams

 
 
The cruelties of life in a small Japanese 19th century village. Once anyone reaches 70 years old they must leave the village and go to a mountain top to die.

'Shohei Imamura's The Ballad of Narayama is excellently crafted, strongly acted and directed, and well shot.' Variety

 
Robert Zemeckis delivers a hugely entertaining film which is groundbreaking in its mix of live action and animation. It centre's around Roger Rabbit's attempts to remain as the top cartoon star.

'Visually stunning and creatively superior, Zemeckis's work is frequently staggering and always entertaining.' Ben Falk

 
 
One of number of Australian film successes from the late 70s early 80s. Edward Woodward stars as one of a trio of British soldiers charged with murder.

'If it hardly breaks any new ground either formally or politically, it's nevertheless a moving and highly professional affair, in which Brown and Thompson give particularly good performances.' Time Out
