Half Nelson / Sugar / Ballast / Honeydripper DVD

Half-Nelson: Ryan Gosling (Drive) turns in a stunning, Oscar-nominated performance in the smart, moving and politically engaged Half Nelson, winner of multiple Independent Spirit Awards and Official Selection at Sundance Film Festival 2006. Sugar: Boden and Fleck's powerful and ambitious follow-up to their startlingly assured feature debut, Half Nelson, Sugar is an original and provocative portrait of the modern-day immigrant experience by two of America's most distinctive young filmmakers. Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2008. Dark Horse: Acclaimed writer/director Todd Solondz (Happiness) examines the loss of youth in this darkly hilarious comedy, featuring a cast led by Jordan Gelber (Boardwalk Empire), Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions), Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter) and Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby). Ballast: A double prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival, Ballast is a stunningly evocative story of personal catastrophe and communal redemption. Honeydripper: The godfather of American independent cinema, writer/director John Sayles (Lone Star, City of Hope), brings the birth of rock n roll to life with electrifying effect, with Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon) leading a stellar ensemble cast.
