Meet France’s mysterious master of photography, neglected in his own lifetime but since feted for helping position the medium as an art form, and as an inspiration to surrealists. This meditative Arts Council documentary introduces Eugène Atget, a former actor who began to document the streets of old Paris from the 1890s. Little is known about his early life and the three decades he spent capturing, in eerie tableaux, urban spaces since lost to progress. The film includes dramatised scenes from his life, including his belated ‘discovery’ by American photographers Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, who published many of Atget’s works after his death in 1927.
Frau Speer
O filme, feito para a TV, dramatiza os três últimos meses de Adolph Hitler, passados no seu bunker em Berlim. Anthony Hopkins está repulsivo como Hitler, enquanto Piper Laurie é ainda mais assustadora como a fanática esposa de Goebbels. Joseph Goebbels (Cliff Gorman) alimenta o ego do Führer, enquanto Albert Speer (Richard Jordan) pretende desafiá-lo. Um dia antes de seu suicídio, Hitler legaliza sua relação com a amante Eva Braun (Susan Blakely). O enredo do filme se estende além do suicídio, com as forças aliadas discutindo sobre quem tem direito à propriedade de Hitler.

The film concerns a group of disparate types who support themselves by running guns to the Arabs. On the surface, it would seem that these characters are bad guys. In fact, the guns are to be used by a resistance group who hope to continue shipping oil to the West, despite the despotic curbs imposed upon fuel shipments by their leaders.
