This documentary recounts the life and work of one of most famous, and yet reviled, German film directors in history, Leni Riefenstahl.

Movie

A former assassin—known only as The Bride—wakes up from a coma to wreak vengeance on her former boss and lover, Bill, and his team of assassins, The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, who betrayed her and left her for dead. Quentin Tarantino’s 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' combines the two films, Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), into the single movie it was originally intended to be. This new version removes the cliffhanger ending from Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and the recap that began Kill Bill: Vol. 2, and inserts a very brief intermission to separate the two volumes. It also includes a never-before-seen 7½-minute animated sequence, and restores to colour the 'House of Blue Leaves' fight sequence that was first presented in black and white in the U.S. theatrical cut to avoid an NC-17 rating. This unrated and unabridged version of the film has a runtime of 253 minutes.

Movie

This Italian film takes a chilling, nonexploitative look into the mind of a nice young man who compulsively rapes beautiful women. The rapes are graphically presented and may be disturbing to some viewers. Outwardly Luca seems to be a normal, quiet 20-year old. His mother is frequently gone. Trouble begins when Luca becomes obsessed with Valeria, the beauty who works in the next building. He begins spying on her, and then secretly filming her with his camcorder. He tries to get to know her, but she ignores him. Unable to stand her constant refusal, the frustrated young man accosts her on dark street and rapes her. The first rape was almost accidental; he encountered her on the street and he hurt her. Unfortunately, he liked the violence and begins raping every attractive woman he sees. He is particularly violent with Lorena, a jewelry saleswoman whom he beats up in a park before violating her.
