DVD Savant: The Deep, My Dinner with Andre, and The Seventh Seal
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Deep [Blu-ray] - Peter Yates' Caribbean treasure hunt yarn makes for good escapist fun, thanks to high production values, outstanding underwater scenes and a committed cast: Robert Shaw, Jacqueline Bisset & Nick Nolte. Also starring 1001 colorful fish, impressive non-CGI effects and the most famous wet T-Shirt in modern history; My Dinner with Andre - Yes, you will believe that two guys talking for two hours can be be wholly absorbing. Louis Malle's daring film of Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory's autobiographical screenplay is a surprisingly engaging, uplifting experience; and The Seventh Seal [Blu-ray] - Ingmar Bergman's classic can boast the most recognizable art film image of all -- Max von Sydow's medieval knight playing chess with Death. Criterion's disc offers a terrific new transfer. The movie is spooky, but warmly human and funny, too. The Blu-ray comes with the entire documentary feature Bergman Island. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant
