This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Killing Fields - Roland Joffe's adult epic uses a true personal tragedy to tell the greater story of the 1970s genocide perpetrated by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, an unexpected consequence of the Vietnam War; Throne of Blood - starring Toshiro Mifune, Akira Kurosawa's stylized adaptation of Shakespeare's MacBeth has been lauded as the best filmic adaptation of Shakespeare ever - the Japanese master shifts the particulars to Shogunate times but adds his own visual flourishes and dramatic scenes of violence; and Taxi - Made just after his big gangster success, this show gives us James Cagney at his best, fighting thugs in a taxi war and hunting down the "dirty rat" that killed his brother. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
