DVD Savant: Dead of Night - Queen of Spades, Von Trier's Medea and More
This week the DVD Savant takes a look
at Anchor Bay's 2-disc set of
Dead of Night and
The Queen of Spades, an amazing duo of Horror/fantasy pictures from the 'refined' era of British production. Not far behind is Criterion's snappy release of the rare French thriller
Quai des Orfèvres. Henri-Georges Clouzot tones down his signature acid tone
for this kinder, gentler tale of infidelity, murder and forbidden lust. Fox's
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison arrives on the coat-tails of their Memorial Day war
movies, but is a welcome addition. HVe's
Louisiana Story is an impeccable presentation of one of Robert Flaherty's
last semi-docu studies of humans living under primitive conditions. And Facets Video presents a Lars von Trier television version of Euripides' Medea. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
