Shirdi Saibaba is considered to be one of the greatest saints of the modern age regardless of caste, creed or religion. No one knows exactly when he was born or his parentage and his early life is shrouded in mystery. This DVD tells of an atheist who visits his friend ( a Saibaba devotee) before going to India inorder to take some stuff to donate to the Samadhi Mandir (temple) but due to the atheist disbelief is told some of the stories of Saibaba ...
...Mein - Asha Bhosle Shirdi Mera Pandharpur - Anup Jalota I would recommend it for some of the songs and the second half of the movie with the life story. The DVD can be found cheap, I think i got mine for £4.99 and its worth it for that much I would not pay £19.99 like amazon sells it for. Can be found on Play if its in stock. ...

Review of Beckett On Film (DVD)

Discover the best of European cinema

Advantages: A fantastic collection of shorts.
Disadvantages: None.

...1996 - Nanni Moretti. A cinema vérité-like short that focuses on Nanni Moretti himself, playing an anxious and slightly over-the-top manager, in charge of the Nuovo Sacher cinema, meticulously preparing the opening day for Abbas Kiarostami's Close-up. It's a charming look at a passionate man, madly in love with cinema; in other words a film director acting the part of a devotee of another film director. Very special. 8. Gisèle Kérozène - Holland ...
...A wonderful DVD that should be considered an imperative buy for all world cinema lovers. Each short has a wonderful and unique feel to it; Cinema16 is the perfect European shorts collection. A must have. * (Written by myself - no violation, no lifting, no breach of copyright) ...
