DVD Savant: Charlie Wilson's War, Alain Delon Collection, and Abel Raises Cain
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Charlie Wilson's War - Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman team up to tell the true story of a great American hero ... who waged a covert war in the right place at the right time. Great comic filmmaking, and some troubling political implications amid smashing success; Alain Delon Five-Film Collection - One of France's most popular stars shows his range of talent in a broad cross-section of feature vehicles: Diabolically Yours, La Piscine, The Widow Couderc, Le Gitan and Notre Histoire;
Abel Raises Cain - Meet Alan Abel, the most amazing hoaxer of the 20th century. Abel pulls off countless hoaxes, big and small, with the sole purpose of opening our eyes to our own gullibility and the flawed nature of our information media. Fully documented and very funny; and Bamako - Abderrahmane Sissako's political gauntlet puts The World Bank on trial for bleeding dry his home country of Mali. Music, a western parody (with Danny Glover) and fiery rhetoric expose the greed of Globalization. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
