Average Rating:	Day Of Wrath [1943] starring: Thorkild Roose, Lisbeth Movin, Sigrid Neiiendam, Kirsten Andreasen, Sigurd Berg directed by: Carl Theodor Dreyer January 18, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema
First and foremost, yes this is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Dreyer bases his story on a historical episode which took place in Norway in the 16.th century (Norway being part of Denmark then). As far as I remember, the priest's widow was acquitted of witchcraft and thus escaped the fire - the young woman (Lisbeth Movin) in the film is not so lucky. It was said of Dreyer, that he made his actors do their uttermost to become the caracters they were supposed to play. The priest (Thorkil Roose) and his mother (Sigrid Neiiendam)were both actors at the Royal Theatre, the young people, the wife (Lisbeth Movin) and the priest's son (Preben Lerdorff Rye)had just started their careers. Preben L-R became a distinguished actor both ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Camille Claudel [1979] starring: Isabelle Adjani, GÃ©rard Depardieu, Laurent GrÃ©vill, Alain Cuny, Madeleine Robinson directed by: Bruno Nuytten October 02, 1995 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£7.25
Full-blooded, thrilling, gruelling, brilliantly acted and filmed rollercoaster-ride through the life of the hugely controversial and mysterious Claudel. Adjani is sensational in the role of a lifetime (if not SEVERAL lifetimes!). The movie rushes at breathtaking speed and at a level of emotional intensity you rarely see in a movie without it becoming overwrought (it doesn't). Really this is such an underrated and unfairly neglected piece of work. Certainly if you are at all interested in Claudel you should watch, even if only to cavill and disagree; if you dig French movies in general, it's a must; an Adjani or Depardieu fan? then why haven't you seen it yet?; an artist? few films examine the creative impulse as profoundly and uncompromisingly ...

Average Rating:	Women in Love [1969] starring: Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, Jennie Linden, Eleanor Bron directed by: Ken Russell June 21, 1993 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.99
This is a nice film, satisfying in so many ways, even if the sad conclusion is anything but, but that's the nature of romantic tragedy. This is Oliver Reed's finest film performance (apart from maybe Gladiator), and must be Ken Russell's best movie bar none. Good authentic adaption of DHL, a writer whose works often arouse strong emotions one way or another. In fact human emotion is often the main focus of all his works, rather than the more overt themes of class, or raw passion. This film has a lovely period feel to it, is very intimate in its portrayal of the relationships between people with different personalities and feelings, and it distills the mood or essence of DHL perfectly. If you're prepared for a more involving, slower paced sort of romantic drama ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Rumik World - Laughing Target starring: Tadanori Matsumoto, Yoku Shioya, Hiromi Tsuru directed by: Tohru Matsuzono March 14, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£1.50
This is essentially a horror story about a girl called Azuza with demonic supernatural powers who returns to claim her cousin, Usuru, who was betrothed to her in childhood after her mother dies in mysterious circumstances. However, Usuru has grown up, forgotten his committment to her and established a relationship with another girl: Saotome. Needless to say, Azuza is murderously jealous of Saotome and goes out of her way to make sure she keeps away from her man- at any cost. Although the characters are a bit shallow, the English voice acting is silly and there's not much of a plot involved, it's a very pretty anime, and it's certainly entertaining. It's a great anime to watch when you want something to just wash over you, or when you want something cheesy ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Cook Thief, His Wife And Her Lover [1989] starring: Richard Bohringer, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Alan Howard, Tim Roth directed by: Peter Greenaway April 12, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.01
one of the classics from that era,if you can get past Helen Mirren naked (difficult I know),its very deep and disturbing. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Il Postino [1995] starring: Massimo Troisi, Philippe Noiret, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Renato Scarpa, Linda Moretti directed by: Michael Radford February 03, 2003 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.50
directed with a light and humourous touch, Il Postino conveys a powerfull message about what is to be appreciated in the world - beauty, love, passion, friendship, loyalty. Can be enjoyed on many levels , and repays rewatching after 10 years, as I have just done. We are introduced, seductively,via Pablo Neruda's relationship with the postman/peasant, to the concept of 'metaphore'( that's the Italian, and that makes it sound more poetic ! ). Often I find poetry difficult to listen to - here , in this film, there are only a few actual poetic lines, but they are like nuggets. >>More Details

Average Rating:	101 Reykjavik [2001] starring: Hilmir SnÃ¦r GuÃ°nason, Victoria Abril, Hanna MarÃa KarlsdÃ³ttir, ÃžrÃºÃ°ur VilhjÃ¡lmsdÃ³ttir, Baltasar KormÃ¡kur directed by: Baltasar KormÃ¡kur October 22, 2001 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£3.91
Reykjavik 101 is the story of twenty-something Hilmir, who still lives at home with his mother whilst enjoying, through lack of interest in anything more meaningful, a life of drinking, casual sex and social security in Europe's party city, Reykjavik. The 101 in the title refers to the central postcode of the city which Hilmir never seems to have any desire to venture beyond. Hilmir's secure little bubble is soon to be burst, however, by the arrival of his mothers news `special friend', fiery Spanish dance teacher Lola. Having read and hugely enjoyed the book of Reykjavik 101, it is inevitable though perhaps ill-fated to compare the two. The book is much more of a slow burner, as it rambles through Hilmir's mind as he ponders the meaning of life, filtered though ... Read More: >>More Details
