The Nine Muses (SD)
£2.49
25 years after the end of the Trojan War, Odysseus still has not returned home. So his son, Telemachus, sets off an epic journey in search of his lost father. So begins Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey
- the most revered of ancient epic poems & narrative reference point for John Akomfrah's unusual & genre defying story about chance, fate & redemption. Structured as an allegorical fable & loosely inspired by existential science fiction, The Nine Muses is a stylized, unusual & idiosyncratic retelling of the history of mass migration to post war Britain through the suggestive lens of the Homeric epic. Divided into nine overlapping musical chapters & mixing a vast array of archival material with shot scenes from the United States & the United Kingdom, The Nine Muses is a modern recasting of Homer's epic as a song cycle on journeys, on migration, on memory & the power of elegy.

£2.49
In order to stay alive, there are three things you need to know: who to trust, who to protect & who to kill.

With communication lines in serious jeopardy, an unclear target & no means of escape, Emerson & Katherine seek refuge in the bowels of the bunker. As the enemy drills down ever closer to the two agents, they face a life-&-death struggle, from which finding out the truth is the only exit strategy. For decades secret agents have received assignments from number stations around the world.
