DVD Savant: Under The Volcano, Breathless and Yang Ban Xi
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Breathless - Jean-Luc Godard crashed into film directing with this brash re-think of film style and visual grammar; Under the Volcano -
John Huston's powerful take on the Malcolm Lowry novel hands Albert Finney one of his best roles; The Beast With a Million Eyes & The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues - These early American Releasing Corporation Sci-Fi pictures were probably poison to double bills in 1955, Now they're excellent teaching tools for anyone considering imitating mainstream entertainment on a microscopic budget; Yang Ban Xi: The 8 Model Works - a new Chinese documentary about the massive operas commissioned by Chairman Mao's wife during the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution, when they were almost the only public theater not outlawed; A Woman without Love (Una mujer sin amor) -
Facets nails one of Luis Bunuel's rarest Mexican films, a soap opera sensitive to the plight of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
