DVD Savant: Gorky Park, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Conformist
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Gorky Park - William Hurt blooms in a superior murder thriller with a unique setting: he plays a Moscow policemen who must solve a grisly killing that may implicate someone from the KGB. It's career suicide time as Hurt's cop deals with the black market, a friend of the victims who won't talk and an American businessman with an investment interest in Russian sable furs (Lee Marvin in one of his last roles). Great action and intrigues from topflight director Michael Apted; The Picture of Dorian Gray - High-toned producer-director Albert Lewin found the perfect horror story for his temperament, Oscar Wilde's creepy parable about a man who takes a dare with a painting and a promise; and The Conformist - Bernardo Bertolucci's dazzling investigation into the Fascist personality is still an intellectual challenge and visual dazzler. Jean-Louis Trintignant is the cipher who becomes an assassin to find his place in a new order.
Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
