DVD Savant:The Man Who Never Was, Ronin Gai and James Dean
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Man Who Never Was - Ronald Neame's account of a true WW2 spy incident, L'Argent - Robert Bresson's last film allows no room for emotions, let alone positive human values, Ronin Gai - a modern Samurai saga that reinterprets one of the older genre standards, The Driver -
the stunts are great but the dramatics might as well be between mannequins in this overly-stylized transplant of samurai cool to an LA noir setting, The Complete James Dean Collection -
Warners caps a season of incredible library output with a six-disc set of James Dean's three feature films, Marlon Brando: The Franchise Collection -
Universal's Brando grab-bag throws together a disparate group of titles: The Appaloosa, A Countess from Hong Kong, The Ugly American and The Night of the Following Day and Abouna -
Director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun presents an African film that need make no apologies for technique or artistry to anyone. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
