Men Don't Leave (1990)- Recently widowed with mounting debts, Beth moves with her two sons from the family home to a small apartment in the city. It's a quiet film about grieving, moving on, living and new beginnings. An over–looked little 90's gem.
Rosalie Goes Shopping (1990)- Rosalie, German–born wife of crop–dusting pilot Ray, lives in mid–west America and spends her days making the most of her 37 credit cards and rubbery cheques – while keeping the creditors at bay. Goofy, charming, delightful fun.
Bagdad Cafe (1988)- Somewhere between Disneyland and Las Vegas, in the desert off Route 66, Jasmin wanders into a shabby motel complex – frequented by a bizarre collection of individuals, and run by the bossy Brenda. An enchanting and off–beat delight.
Baby of Macon, The (1992)- A baby is born from a supposed virgin woman, so a chain of hysteria about divine intervention in the birth takes place. A story of corruption in all levels of society – family, church and state. Sumptuous, heavily costumed, provocative and shocking.
Belly of an Architect, The (1987)- An American architect in Rome, supervising an exhibition, learns that his idol had stomach ailments much like his own and he becomes convinced that his straying, younger wife is poisoning him. A visual feast, and utter masterpiece.
Drowning by Numbers (1987)- A highly eccentric tale of three women who each murder their husbands by drowning them. They then promise to sleep with the coroner in exchange for recording the deaths as accidental. A terrific black comedy & battle of the sexes.
- Poster (VG) $12.95
Draughtsman's Contract, The (1982)- Mr. Neville is a draughtsman who's hired to produce 12 drawings of a stately home in England. While he draws, objects bizarrely appear in the landscape around him. It's an elaborate conspiracy thriller, fascinating watch and exquisitely shot.
