This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Pickpocket - Robert Bresson's hypnotic ode to spiritual transcendence is a fascinating film, especially after one reads about the director's approach to filmmaking -- no professional actors, no 'performing' or emotions allowed; Call Her Savage - A notorious pre-Code pot-boiler resurfaces to show us a great silent actress struggling to survive in the talkies; and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! - Pedro Almodóvar's film is a racy anti-PC comedy- asylum graduate Antonio Banderas stalks and imprisons ex- porn star and junkie Victoria Abril in an apartment, to wait until she falls in love with him. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
