This week the DVD Savant takes a look at Universal's The Pianist a film nothing short of a masterpiece. Roman Polanski carefully tempers his signature style, and produces the best dramatic document of the Holocaust yet seen. Warner's Giant a good special edition of the epic Texas saga, James Dean's third and last film. Fox's The Flight of the Phoenix another great picture, a male adventure tale of survival that forces a dozen uncooperative types to work together on an insane plan, Paramount's awesome Is Paris Burning? which tells a complicated historical story without cutting corners, Artisan's Cloak and Dagger a Fritz Lang spy film about Atomic secrets that had it's entire last scene censored (Savant has the full story), and Blue Underground gives the royal treatment to Baba Yaga, a weird attempt to convert an erotic Guido Crepax comic strip into an erotic comic book-like film. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
