New DVD releases round up 21st July.
Sifting through this weeks crop of contemporary DVD releases we've come up with some recommendations.
In the UK, our pick of the DVD releases on 21 July 2008 are:
With the school holidays just starting and everyone jetting off (except us it seems)to sunnier climbs, the DVD release schedules take their customary summer slow down. So not much to draw your attention to, but:
The Flesh And Blood Show. Archetypal 1970s British (s)exploitation horror, with a cast that includes Jenny Hanley (presenter of kids TV show Magpie), Ray Brooks (voice of Mr Ben) and Robin Askwith (obviously - star of the confessions series of films). The films climax(!)is shown in its original 3d format. Gasp.
One of the best TV comedies of the 1990s is also released - If You See God Tell Him.
In the USA, the pick of the DVD releases on 22 July 2008 are:
High And Low. Amongst the samurai classics it's very easy to forget Akira Kurosawa's command of contemporary drama. This film is an absolute masterpiece, and is perhaps the film that outlines his genius effortlessness of storytelling. It is certainly one of alt-flix's favourites of Kurosawa's works (alongside his more epic pieces that have gone onto become regarded as classics).
Duck. A charming film from 2005 about a man and his duck. Actually, although it doesn't sound so from the title, the film is actually pretty deep and meaningful.
