Essential John Sayles

A stunning collection of John Sayles' most profound and notable works for the very first time on DVD in a 3 disk box set collector's edition.

Lianna: Suppressed emotions, curiosity, sexual ambiguity and a loveless marriage provide the catalysts for the story of Lianna, a wife and mother who is driven to re-examine and subsequently rediscover her sexuality after confronting her cheating husband. Forgotten feelings bubble to the surface and drive Lianna to sexual and emotional experimentation in John Sayles' classic offering from the genre of lesbian cinema.

The Return of the Secaucus Seven: A moving film, widely considered to be the predecessor to later cult classics such as The Big Chill and Broken Flowers, is a story of friends, sex, jealousy and unrequited love beautifully told in a cosy vacation house in New Hampshire.

The Brother From Another Planet: In the tradition of the Twilight Zone and other films renowned for their exploration of the metaphysical and supernatural, John Sayles' The Brother From Another Planet is a slick, cultures-collide type comedy of intergalactic proportions. Set in the slums of Harlem, Sayles confronts issues as risque as drugs, alienation, crime and racism in a manner that is equally blackly humorous and empathetic.
