Un Chien Andalou / Land Without Bread
Pierre Batcheff, Salvador Dalí
Kino Video, 2001
'Land Without Bread' might be Bunuel's masterpiece
+ Las Hurdes is absolutely shocking
+ At one time
'Un chien andalou' (1928) is the best-known film on this video and is a fascinating work in its own right, but the real masterpiece here is undoubtedly 'Land Without Bread' ('Las Hurdes'). As great as most of Bunuel's subsequent films would be, this 27-minute 1932 work arguably towers above them ...

Repulsion
Catherine Deneuve, Helen Fraser
ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMS INC., 2000
A masterpiece!
+ Timeless Horror: As Cinematic as a Silent Film. As Modern as a Contemporary Film.
+ I liked it
I've seen "Repulsion" quite a few times over the years, and it never gets any less absorbing to watch in spite of knowing the outcome.
Catherine Denueve is incandescently beautiful in it but this all masks her real persona which I guess is shown in the early photograph of her when she was just a ...

Jill Clayburgh, Jean Yanne
Universal Home Video, 1984
Unique
+ A rare movie that hits truth. Costa tops himself
This is an interesting film, given that it attempts to view the Arab-Israeli conflict through a lens sympathetic to dispossessed Palestinians. It is also unique in that it is one of but a handful of films that does not use the worn-out habit of portraying Arabs as nothing more than a horde of ...

Final Days
Gary Sinise, Ed Flanders
Republic Pictures, 1998
What led to President Nixon's resignation?
+ Inside An American Tragedy
If you saw All The President's Men (1976), I highly recommend The Final Days (1989-TVM) based upon the book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Lane Smith is excellent as the President of the United States, Richard Nixon. The film deals with the aftermath of the Democratic National Committee ...
