After the phenomenal successes of Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho, director Gus Van Sant's stunning first feature is strangely still not available on cassette. In response to numerous requests we are happy to present a mini Van Sant retro by adding two shorts - Gus Van Sant's Diary and Thanksgiving Prayer to this encore showing of Mala Noche.
Mala Noche is the film debut from director Gus Van Sant. The film portrays the unanswered love of an American man toward a young Mexican man.

Mai Zetterling's irreverent adventures of the lesbian prisoners known as the "Hellhole Bitches" contains such deathless lines as "I love you Eva, I fuckin' love you" (which booms out over the prison quadrangle) and "Give us a lick not a prick" - one of the best women behind bars movies ever made and unavailable for many years, Scrubbers is pulpy, poetic and political.
Inmates fight, pair off, try suicide and attempt escape at a British reform school for girls.
