DVD Savant: The Boys from Brazil, Kinoshita, and The Package
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Boys from Brazil - Ira Levin's supermarket blockbuster becomes the lavishly filmed, embarrassingly tacky thriller in which Gregory Peck's aged Dr. Mengele seeks a fourth Reich by cloning a new Adolf Hitler; Kinoshita and World War II - five Japanese features lucky to have survived -- dramas made during the war and supervised by Japan's military censors. Here finally is the 'morale building' Tojo propaganda to compare to Hollywood's prolific WW2 output; and The Package - A smart, well-made action-suspense-political intrigue thriller with plenty of star appeal: Gene Hackman's patriotic sergeant is framed for murder in a plot to assassinate important heads of state.
Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
