DVDs
As with our music, which tends toward jazz, blues, folk, and classical, our dvds are eclectic. We like to sell dvds that have some book or play basis, although some loyalties are basic: really well-done anime, Angelina Jolie since she was awarded her Academy Award for work here in the Valley (Girl, Interrupted), and simply flat-out essentials according to our lights.
V for Vendetta ( 2006 )
V for Vendetta ( 2006 )
Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.
