DVD Savant: Magdalena's Brain, The Big Animal and Phantom
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including:
Magdalena's Brain -
A rarity -- a new direct-to-video feature made with intelligence and a narrative cleverness that will blindside many a viewer; Storm the Skies -
an excellent Spanish docu that traces the mysterious life of the assassin of Leon Trotsky; The Big Animal - Jerzy Stuhr's gentle parable is taken from a script by Krzystof Kieslowski; Look Both Way -
Sarah Watt's exceedingly clever comedy-drama spends three days with people overcome by morbidity; Madmen of Mandoras (+They Saved Hitler's Brain) & The Devil's Hand -Mandoras helps clear up the mystery of one of the more incompetent 'bad movies' ever made, and Hand turns out to be a minor but solidly built horror offering; Phantom - the best-looking film restoration from 1922 I've yet seen; The Girls - Mai Zetterling scores another superior art film. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
