DVD Savant: Stop-Loss, Berlin-Schonhauser Corner, and Before the Rain
Stop-Loss This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Stop-Loss - Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish star in a story of an ugly policy being exploited in the Iraq war -- what John Kerry called a "back door draft". An eye-opening film in support of our troops deployed overseas; Berlin-Schonhauser Corner - First Run Features comes up with a winner, a great co-feature for The Lives of Others. This East German juvenile deliquency picture from 1957 bears close parallels with American JD films, but with a pronounced socialist message. An effective piece of propaganda that the East Germans tried to suppress -- because, as everyone knows, the perfect Worker's Society doesn't have juvenile delinquency!; and Before the Rain - Milo Manchevski's 1994 tale of ethnic and religious violence in Macedonia, told in three oddly intersecting episodes. Stars Katrin Cartlidge and Rade Serbdzija, from Criterion. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
