DVD Savant: 2007 Wish List, Mouchette and The Great Yokai War
DVD Savant starts the year off with Savant's DVD Wish List 2007 - For the New Year, Savant inaugurates a SuperList of desired feature films not yet released on DVD ... Collect 'em all; A tout de suite -
Benoit Jacquot returns to the small B&W 60s idiom to tell the true tale of a Parisian teenager who runs away with a fugitive bank robber; Mouchette - Robert Bresson weighs in with another rumination on the human spirit lost in a pitiless existence; Devil Times Five -
This bizarre and rather indigestible independent 70s horror film can boast some notable names in the cast -- Sorrell Booke, Gene Evans, Leif Garrett; The Last Days of Mussolini -
Rod Steiger and Lisa Gastoni are excellent in this account of the final, messy finish to the reign of Italy's Il Duce;
The Great Yokai War - Takashi Miike takes time out from crime and horror to put together a lavish family spectacle about Japan's fantasy monster-rama of Yokai -- spirit creatures that can take the shape of people, monsters or inanimate objects. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
