Between 1924 and 1947, Chinese women were banned from immigrating to the United States. Men who had come hoping to send for their families later were stranded. Chinatowns across the country were dying. When the ban was lifted, prosperous men sent their adult sons, who had been allowed as boys to come from China, back to enter into arranged marriages. But when Wah Gay (Victor Wong) sends his son Ben Loy (Russell Wong) back to their native village to marry Mei Oi (Cora Miao), the daughter of his best friend, it's a case of love at first sight. Oddly reminiscent of Michael Corrleone going to Sicily in THE GODFATHER, it's very nicely staged by director Wayne Wang. As he demonstrated in DIM SUM, Wang has a deft feel for the small emotional touches that make characters come alive. When the couple returns to New York's Chinatown, Ben takes a job as the manager of a busy restaurant. The combined pressure of work and his father's insistence that he produce grandchildren causes Ben to become impotent. Soon the neglected Mei Oi finds companionship with Ah Song (Eric Tsang), a slick gambler. When rumors spread within the small, enclosed community where face (i.e., honor) is very important, it precipitates a crisis for everyone, especially the two grandfathers.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

Heavy Traffic (DVD) Heavy Traffic (DVD) » Heavy Traffic (DVD)

Animator Ralph Bakshi's frenzied glimpse into the sleazy 1970s New York of pimps, drag queens, and Times Square perversity, this hallucinatory romp centers on Michael (Joseph Kaufman), an underground cartoonist who lives with his shrill Jewish mother and mobster Italian father, and escapes the urban squalor via his art. The stage is set for a crescendo of explosive violence when Michael gets romantically involved with sassy black bartender Carole (Beverly Hope Atkinson), arousing his father's racist fury as well as the jealousy of Shorty, Carole's violent, legless barfly devotee.Bakshi's second film remains one of his boldest and most brilliant, thanks to its uncompromisingly bleak vision, over-the-top violence, satirically exaggerated racial stereotypes, and frank sexuality. But beyond all the wildness beats a real heart and piercing honesty. Bakshi's technique of integrating live action and old films with different styles of animation works perfectly in this loosely autobiographical series of hallucinatory vignettes. This hilarious, horrifying, bittersweet portrait of urban alienation and artistic struggle still resonates with a raw power that has lost none of its force in the passing years.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFullscreen - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

When Paul (Firth), a middle-aged English teacher in Britain who nurses an obsession for the Arsenal soccer team, meets Sarah, a seemingly uptight young woman who is a single-minded professional, he is forced to drastically re-evaluate his life. Sarah loathes the sport, while Paul's entire life is based on it--it is the only place in his life that allows him to feel true joy or pain, as well as a British national identity. Soon, Sarah is pregnant, and although she's growing to enjoy soccer, she worries that Paul cares more for the sport than for the relationship and the impending arrival of fatherhood. Paul is concerned that the relationship is indeed mirroring the team's streak of wins and losses. As Arsenal approaches the 1989 Championship, it has a final chance to end its 18 year losing streak, and Paul and Sarah have one fleeting chance to restore their touchy union. The film is lent an extra spurt of realism in that the 1989 Arsenal upset is considered one of the touchstones of British soccer history. The script is written by Nick Hornby, author of HIGH FIDELITY, and based on his novel.
