This week's new DVD releases: the outstanding drug mule drama "Maria Full of Grace," Andy Lau in the Hong Kong crime thriller "Infernal Affairs," Fritz Lang's classic "M," and Mathilde Seigner in "The Girl From Paris."
1. Maria Full of Grace
Joshua Marston's powerful first feature "Maria Full of Grace" tells the gripping tale of an independent, determined Colombian woman who becomes a drug mule. Catalina Sandino Moreno gives an outstanding performance that connects on an emotional level and keeps the film from becoming an overt political statement.
2. Infernal Affairs
An award-winning crime thriller in the tradition of Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." Already scheduled for a U.S. remake, this gritty action drama features performances by Andy Lau ("House of Flying Daggers") as a fast rising super-cop and Asian superstar Tony Leung as a world weary gangster. 
3. M
In his harrowing masterwork, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller.4. The Girl From Paris
Mathilde Seigner stars as an urban computer teacher who rejects Paris for agricultural school. She milks goats, tends her crops, and battles not only with exploding boilers and the cantankerous farm owner who grudgingly sells her his isolated goat farm.5. Warriors Of Heaven And Earth
He Ping, the director of the cult classic "Swordsman in Double Flag Town" and "Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker" enters the big time with his latest film, an epic battle between two heroic figures fighting for themselves and for their countries.
