San Lorenzo's Night is the night when dreams come true in Italian folklore. It is also a night when an older woman recalls 1944, when she was six-years-old and the stars were shell bursts and a group of peasants fled the Germans and Fascists through the Tuscan countryside to American lines.

Great doco about the early days of NY hip hop and life on the projects. One of the best features of this film is that it examines the political trajectory of Nas' career through his lyrics as well as the environment and familial situation that gave rise to his stardom. Must see for fans of his music. And anyone interested in the political side of rap music.

The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse and a battle of wills ensues regarding whether to stay or flee.

Tarkovsky's masterpiece - often described as the Russian version of 2001. Madness threatens all those who work on the space station that orbits the mysterious planet Solaris and the newcomer Chris Kelvin is doubly haunted by memories of his dead wife. A great metaphor for inner development.
