This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Gate of Hell - Prepare to have your retinas dazzled by Teinosuke Kinugasa's vintage tale of fierce love in the Emperor's court, as a great warrior demands the wife of another loyal retainer, breaking all the rules... an Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film; Loophole - Wow! This modest crime thriller with some smart ideas is a great film noir rediscovery; and If I Were You - Writer-director Joan Carr-Wiggin's conventional but intelligent script gives the underused Marcia Gay Harden a chance to flex her acting muscles in comedy mode. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
