Dean Spanley (2008)

England, 1904. Henslowe Fisk (Jeremy Northam) and his ailing father, Horatio Fisk (Peter O’Toole), decide to go to a lecture given by the Swami Nala Prash (Art Malik) on reincarnation, called ‘The Transmigration of Souls’. While there, they meet one Dean Spanley (Sam Neill) as well as Wrather (Bryan Brown), a self-described facilitator from the Colonies.

Later encountering the Dean at his father’s club, and then in the grounds of the cathedral, Henslowe takes this to be more than coincidence and decides to ask the man to dinner, enticing him with the promise of his favourite tipple Imperial Tokay, a rare Hungarian sweet wine.

The Ferryman (2007)

Somewhere in the South Pacific, a group of tourists on a pleasure craft come across a lone yacht, drifting aimlessly through the dead calm waters.

On board, a dying old Greek man arouses their sympathy and they pull him aboard their vessel. Big mistake! For this seemingly harmless old man has been lying in wait for centuries, preying on the souls of whoever attempts to rescue him. This is how he's managed to evade The Ferryman (aka the Grim Reaper) for so long.

But time is running out for the Greek and he's desperate for more souls. With his terrifying 'shifting blade' at the ready, the hapless tourists don't stand much of a chance...

Using Wrather to procure a bottle, Henslowe begins a series of dinners between with Spanley, in which – after two glasses of the wine – the Dean begins to recount strange recollections of his past life.

Incredulous at first, Henslowe becomes intrigued by the Dean’s clear-headed accounts of his days during his former life. But as these alcohol-induced investigations continue, it becomes clear that Dean Spanley has an intimate connection to someone close to Henslowe, a revelation that will ultimately prove incredibly cathartic for all concerned.

Wallis and Edward (2006)

n 1936, King Edward VIII stunned the world when he abdicated the English throne in order to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

Vilified in the press, Wallis has remained in popular perception a loose woman, a schemer who deprived the hapless king of his birthright.

For the first time, Wallis and Edward tells the story from Wallis's point of view. The story of a woman humiliated and frozen out by the royal family, a woman pilloried for daring to fall in love with the future King of England.

The Aryan Couple (2004)

Occupied Hungary 1944. Hans and Ingrid Vassman are the perfect Aryan couple. Young, married, in love and expecting their first child, they work as valet and maid for an elderly Jewish couple, the Krauzenbergs, in their magnificent palace in the Hungarian Countryside.

They have everything to look forward to – or so they would have you believe. Hitler’s ‘Final Solution’ is sweeping through Europe. Himmler, the Fuhrer’s second-incommand, has instigated ‘The Europe Plan’, offering rich Jewish families the chance to emigrate and avoid the concentration camp – and certain death – in exchange for everything they own.
