This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Schindler's List - Spielberg's big Oscar winner looks and plays even better than it did twenty years ago. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes became stars in this entirely worthy depiction of the Holocaust in Poland. A war profiteer exploits slave Jewish labor but slowly undergoes a change of heart; Nicholas and Alexandra - Franklin J. Schaffner's gigantic, literal-minded epic of the end of the Romanoffs and their fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks is given a sumptuous, somewhat dry treatment. The history is all good and the personal stories of the Tsar and Tsarina are excellent, as is the sub-plot about the mad monk Rasputin; and Ivan's Childhood - A breathtakingly cinematic Russian film about a young boy scouting for the Army during the counteroffensive versus the Germans. It's the first, acclaimed masterpiece by Andrei Tarkovsky, who begins his celebrated career with one self-assuredly brilliant scene after another. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
