DVD Savant: Wings of Desire, The Singing Detective and More
This week the DVD Savant takes a look
MGM's Wings of Desire - the catch of the week, a beautiful DVD of a fantasy favorite that still dazzles. Criterion's Hiroshima mon amour a benchmark French-Japanese co-production by Alain Resnais'. Criterion also does a fine job with Ermanno Olmi's I fidanzati a
mature study of people uprooted in the 'new industrial Italy' of the early
60s, Anchor Bay's Roadgames, a suspense thriller that's too good to be lumped in with other early 80s
slasher pix, BBC's The Singing Detective
is a fascinating 4 hour miniseries that combines medical misery, detective thrills, traumatic biography, and musical numbers in a complex tale of self-analysis. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
