DVD Savant: A History of Violence, Ikarie XB1 and Metropolitan
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Ikarie XB 1 -
Savant writes a book about this rare Czech space movie, a great picture about a voyage across the the universe to a mysterious white planet; Fallen Angel - unusually perceptive film noir from Otto Preminger, and underrated; Kind Hearts and Coronets - Perhaps the slickest black comedy of all time; Goyokin - Tasuya Nakadai is the avenger of conscience in this superior, beautifully photographed Samurai show from Hideo Gosha; A History of Violence -
David Cronenberg's latest shocker is an examination of a man with an acute identity crisis - and a meditation on the nature of human violence; Metropolitan -
Whit Stillman dazzled the critics in his first outing as a writer-director with this insightful and funny comedy drama about the New York debutante crowd; No Way Out - A superior social issue film from Darryl Zanuck; The Spaghetti West -
Blue Underground's docu look at the Italo western makes good use of at least 20 interviews with directors, writers, stars and critics. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
