Synopsis:

The 2-disc DVD set presents new restored versions of two rare classics by Werner Schroeter connecting private stories with history: Der Bomberpilot tells the story of three eccentric women in Germany during the Nazi period who try to become show stars in America after the war. Nel Regno di Napoli is a chronicle of post-war Italy told from the perspective of a Neapolitan family. Additional features are an interview with Werner Schroeter by Gérard Courant, a video showing Werner Schroeter in a talk with the audience at the Austrian Filmmuseum, and stills from the shooting of Nel Regno di Napoli by Digne M. Markovicz.

The Bomber Pilot (1970)
Three high-stepping women pass through the cabarets, dance halls, and pastry shops of wartime and postwar Germany in Schroeter's irreverently grotesque pastiche of the legacy of Nazism. With Winter Journey (1980), a loose adaptation of Jean Genet's Querelle.

The Reign of Naples (1978)
In a miserable neighbourhood of Napoli, two brothers make totally different choices for their lives. The boy joins the Communist Party, while his sister follows the way of the church.
