Léon
Official synopsis: Jean Reno (Mission Impossible, Ronin), Gary Oldman (
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Dark Knight Rises) and Natalie Portman (
Black Swan, V for Vendetta) in her film debut, all star in this highly influential, seminal '90's action/thriller. Directed by Luc Besson (
Subway, The Big Blue, Nikita, The Fifth Element),
Leon is the controversial and unforgettable story of an unlikely friendship within a brutal and violent world.
Twelve-year-old Mathilda lives within the desperate confines of a squalid New York apartment block. On returning form a shopping trip, Mathilda finds that her abusive, dysfunctional family (and her younger brother) have been slaughtered by a psychotic, drug dealing police officer. In fear for her life she takes refuge with her reluctant, mysterious and solitary neighbour. His name is Leon and he's one of the world's deadliest assassins. And while Mathilda begins to teach him how to live, Leon begins to teach her how to kill.
A one disc Blu-ray featuring both the Director's and Theatrical cut.

The Piano
Official synopsis: Ada – mute since birth – her nine year old daughter and her piano arrive to an arranged marriage in the remote bush of nineteenth century New Zealand. Of all her belongings her husband refuses to transport the piano and it is left behind on the beach. Unable to bear its certain destruction, Ada strikes a bargain with an illiterate tattooed neighbour. She may earn her piano back if she allows him to do certain things while she plays; one black key for every lesson.
