On the Bowery: The Lionel Rogosin Collection Volume 1 photo Three films by 1950s political filmmaker Lionel Rogosin. For songwriter Woody Guthrie, his guitar was a machine that "kills fascists." For Rogosin, the weapon of choice was a movie camera, and his first battle was waged on the streets of New York City. Exploring the underworld of the city's skid row, Rogosin developed his signature style. After months drinking with men he met on the Bowery, he worked with his buddies to write a screenplay that reflected their lives -- and then cast them as themselves. This technique of making films "from the inside" allowed Rogosin to film ordinary people caught up in universal problems. His films explored alcoholism, homelessness, racial discrimination, war, labor conflict, and poverty with great compassion and honesty. "On the Bowery" chronicles three days in the drinking life of Ray Salyer, a part-time railroad worker adrift on New York's skid row. When the film opened it 1956, it exploded on the screen. Now gloriously restored by the Cineteca di Bologna, "On the Bowery" is both an incredible document of a bygone era and a vivid and devastating portrait of addiction that resonates today just as it did when it was made. With an introduction by Martin Scorsese. Also included in the set: "Good Times, Wonderful Times," Rogosin's powerful anti-war film released during the height of Vietnam conflict, that juxtaposed footage of war atrocities from national archives with scenes of a London cocktail party; and "Out," never before released in the U.S., a documentary made by Rogosin for the United Nations that tells the plight of Hungarian refugees fleeing to Austria in the aftermath of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) In the nineties, Andre Gregory mounted a series of spare, private performances of Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" in a crumbling Manhattan playhouse. These treasures of pure theater would have been lost to time had they not been captured on film, with subtle cinematic brilliance, by Louis Malle. In "Vanya on 42nd Street," a stellar cast of actors -- including Wallace Shawn, Julianne Moore, Brooke Smith and George Gaynes -- ­embark on a full read-through of "Uncle Vanya" (adapted into English by David Mamet); the result is as memorable and emotional a screen version of Chekhov's masterpiece as one could ever hope to see. This film, which turned out to be Malle's last, is a tribute to the playwright's devastating work as well as to the creative process itself. New high-definition digital restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition. Extras: New documentary featuring interviews with Andre Gregory, the play's director; actors Lynn Cohen, George Gaynes, Julianne Moore, Larry Pine, Wallace Shawn, and Brooke Smith; and producer Fred Berner; booklet featuring an essay by critic Steven Vineberg and a 1994 on-set report by film critic Amy Taubin.
