In English and Swedish with English subtitles. Cast: Olympia Dukakis, Lena Endre, Ulf Friberg, Sven Wollter, Max von Sydow
The Tin Drum (1979). Director: Völker Schlöndorff
Fantastic and moving tale about the rise and fall of Nazi Germany as seen through the eyes of a "man-boy" (David Bennett) who "refuses to grow" in order to ignore the horrors around him, venting his anger through a toy drum. Director Volker Schlöndorff's drama won the Best Foreign Film Academy Award. 142 min. In German with English subtitles. Academy Award® Winner: Best Foreign Film
Gösta Berling's Saga (1924). Director: Mauritz Stiller
In her second film role, Greta Garbo plays a young married woman who becomes the object of a defrocked priest's attentions.

Silent with music score. B&W. Also available in a version featuring Video Accu-Speed, a process which returns the film to its original running time and duplicates the speed at which the film was photographed.
Hamsum (1997) Director: Jan Troell
The gripping and compelling true story of Knut Hamsun, the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian author who stunned his country when he sided with Hitler during World War II, not for Nazi ideals, but due to his deep hatred of Great Britain.
