This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Raise the Red Lantern - Zhang Yimou's modern classic is unique, exotic and politically potent; Avant Garde 2, Experimental Cinema 1928-1954 - See some weird first efforts from name artists like James Broughton and Stan Brakhage, plus an unbelievably audacious two hour filmic rant by Jean-Isidore Isou; Words and Music - The wild story of the songwriting team of Rogers and Hart is squashed into a strange shape to please both the Production Code and MGM's sensibilities; The Lookout - Ace screenwriter Scott Frank scores high with his first directed feature, a superb thriller about a brain-damaged janitor sucked into a robbery scheme; 10:30 PM Summer - Jules Dassin's artsy character study takes an uneasy romantic triangle and mixes in a murder manhunt in a rainy Spanish town; The Deadly Companions - A gift from Finland, this R2 PAL disc offers a beautiful Panavision format rendering of Sam Peckinpah's obscure first feature, a muddled desert trek movie that grows in stature when seen in such a good transfer. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
