ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): It would seem impossible not to give the top spot this week to BFI's, 3 Blu-rays, 1 DVD, package of the Carl Theodor Dreyer Collection. An essential in any film-lovers collection. Staying in the UK - we have also reviewed Arrow's Blu-ray of Walerian Borowczyk's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne but it is sold in the US as well. It is quite the odd, memorable, atmospheric film experience. And, also from the UK, The Masters of Cinema group have given us a sweet Blu-ray of Peter Bogdanovich's Paper Moon - a wonderful, timeless film. Criterion have given us a pair of Costa-Gavras' political thrillers with State of Siege and The Confession on Blu-ray. Brilliant cinema. Chaplin's heart-warming Limelight gets the Criterion treatment with a new Blu-ray that is leaps and bounds ahead of the old DVDs. I've always been keen on Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate, but perhaps even more so about Paul Newman's Harry and Son - both very likeable films now on Blu-ray. There is a lot of revealing supplement material in Kino Lorber's Blu-ray of Sam Peckinpah's Convoy - idiosyncratically the director's biggest hit. We've compared the old DVD to the new Blu-ray of the Yul Brynner western Invitation to a Gunfighter - the disparity is colossal. The 1990 film version of Lord of the Flies is a strikingly beautiful film in 1080P. The Organization has made it to Blu-ray and offers Sidney Poitier reprising his role as Lt. Virgil Tibbs in another crime-drama. On DVD Eric Cotenas has covered the, highly rated, New Zealand film Fantail, the darker-than-one-might-expect, Canadian drama Curling and psychological thriller An Act of War. See you next week. "The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." - William James

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Paper Moon BD - A charming mixture of Hawksian comedy and Fordian lyricism imbues Bogdanovich's not-too-sentimental meeting-cute between a conman (Ryan O'Neal) busy bamboozling widows into buying bibles during the Depression, and the 9-year-old wily brat who may or may not be his daughter (Tatum O'Neal). Modern cynicism and efficient acting hold the potential mushiness at bay, and the pair's picaresque odyssey through the Kansas dustbowl, during which they vie for control over their increasingly bizarre partnership, is admirably served by Laszlo Kovacs' marvellous monochrome camerawork. After Targets and The Last Picture Show, Bogdanovich's best movie. Blu-ray Release Date: May 18th, 2015

Convoy BD - The CB (citizen's band) radio fad had nearly run its course when this feel-good action film was made by director Sam Peckinpah. In the story, based on C.W. McCall's song "Convoy," a group of struggling truckers (who stay in touch by CB) run into a situation which ignites their indignation. They arrange to form a truck convoy under the leadership of the man whose CB nickname is "Rubber Duck" (Kris Kristofferson). He is the most aggrieved of the bunch, having been harassed beyond the point of endurance by Lyle Wallace (Ernest Borgnine) a blackmailing traffic cop who pursues him ever more frantically through several states after he fails to submit to the phony speed trap he had set up. As news of the truck convoy spreads, unexpected allies join the line, and the now-gigantic illegal protest becomes the subject of national news reports. Blu-ray Release Date: April 28th, 2015

Lord of the Flies BD - Harry Hook directed this second screen adaptation of William Golding's cult novel about a group of British schoolchildren who revert to savagery when marooned on a deserted island. The new adaptation replaces British school children with a group of American military cadets and instead of a shipwreck, their plane crashes into the sea. The children swim ashore onto an island and try to fend for themselves, with the only surviving adult wracked with fever and crazed with pain. As the children get the feel of the island, the group separates into two different camps: Ralph Balthazar Getty and his followers prefer to act civilized and want to expand their efforts toward finding a way off the island; on the other hand, Jack Chris Furrh and his band revert to painting their faces, carrying spears and exploiting the island for survival. When the chances for rescue become less and less likely, the two factions go to war with each other, with tragic results. Blu-ray Release Date: April 28th, 2015

Harry and Son BD - Harry, Paul Newman, a middle-aged hardhat, has trouble communicating with his teenaged son Howard Robby Benson. While Harry wants Howard to find a bread-and-butter job, the sensitive boy would rather pursue a writing career. Howard tries his best to please his dad, but ultimately realizes that he must march to his own beat if he's to find lasting happiness. The best scenes in this by-the-numbers domestic drama are those between Howard and his pregnant girlfriend Ellen Barkin. Adapted from The Lost King, a novel by Don Capite, Harry and Son represents one of the rare occasions that star Paul Newman directed himself at least officially! Blu-ray Release Date: April 28th, 2015

Invitation to a Gunfighter BD - Matt Weaver George Segal returns home after fighting for the South in the Civil War to his home in the New Mexico territory. He discovers that in his absence his ancestral house and land have been sold by Sam Brewster Pat Hingle, an unscrupulous land developer. Matt tries to kill Sam, but when the attempt fails, Matt barricades himself in the place he once called home. Sam sends for the colorful hired gun Jules Gaspard D'Estaing Yul Brynner, a well-educated dandy whose mother was a black slave and father was a Creole. Jules is as adept with card and piano playing as he is with a six gun. When Jules gets drunk and tears up the town, Sam tries to make a truce with Matt to get rid of the deadly drifter. Janice Rule also appears, along with Bert Freed in his familiar role as the local sheriff. Blu-ray Release Date: May 26th, 2015

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne BD - A bizarre Euro-kink variation on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, this intriguing film from Polish director Walerian Borowczyk takes place almost exclusively in the palatial home of Dr. Henry Jekyll Udo Kier, where the good doctor is being feted prior to his engagement to the austere Miss Fanny Osborne Marina Pierro. The guest list -- comprised of various dignitaries, officials and symbols of bourgeois respectability -- could easily have strolled in from a Fellini film, complete with a closetful of perverse habits and barely-repressed sexual urges. At the onset of the festivities, it is learned that a young girl has been murdered on the streets that night -- an event somehow linked to Jekyll's insistence that his estate be willed to the yet-unseen Mr. Hyde. Blu-ray Release date: May 11th, 2015

Little Man Tate BD - Jodie Foster made her directorial debut (with a script by Scott Frank) in this tale of a child prodigy's search for social acceptance. Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd) is a precocious fourth grader who has no problem with the most complex mathematical problems or in banging out a Rachmaninoff concerto on the piano, but is totally inept at playing baseball or dealing with children his own age. His mother Dede (Jodie Foster) is a cocktail waitress who acts more like a child than Fred, but cares passionately about her son. Fred comes to the attention of child psychologist Jane Grierson (Dianne Wiest), who runs a summer camp for child prodigies called Odyssey of the Mind. She invites Fred to attend the summer session, creating a rift between Fred and Dede. Blu-ray Release Date: April 28th, 2015

State of Siege BD - Costa-Gavras puts the United States’ involvement in Latin American politics under the microscope in this arresting thriller. An urban guerrilla group, outraged at the counterinsurgency and torture training clandestinely organized by the CIA in their country (unnamed in the film), abducts a U.S. official (Yves Montand) to bargain for the release of political prisoners; soon the kidnapping becomes a media sensation, leading to violence. Cowritten by Franco Solinas, the electrifying State of Siege piercingly critiques the American government for supporting foreign dictatorships, while also asking difficult questions about the efficacy of radical violent acts to oppose such regimes. Blu-ray Release date: May 26th, 2015

The Confession BD - The master of the political thriller, Costa-Gavras became an instant phenomenon after the mammoth success of Z, and he quickly followed it with the equally riveting The Confession. Based on a harrowing true story from the era of Soviet bloc show trials, the film stars Yves Montand as a Czechoslovak Communist Party official who, in the early fifties, is abducted, imprisoned, and interrogated over a frighteningly long period, and left in the dark about his captors’ motives. Also starring Simone Signoret and Gabriele Ferzetti, the film is an unflinching, intimate depiction of one of the twentieth century’s darkest chapters, told from one bewildered man’s point of view. Blu-ray Release date: May 26th, 2015

Limelight BD - Charlie Chaplin’s masterful drama about the twilight of a former vaudeville star is among the writer-director’s most touching films. Chaplin plays Calvero, a once beloved musical-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcoholic who lives in a small London flat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautiful but melancholy ballerina (Claire Bloom) who lives downstairs. An elegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant movie also features Buster Keaton in an extended cameo, marking the only time the two silent comedy icons appeared in a film together. Made at a time when Chaplin was under attack by the American press and far right, Limelight was scarcely distributed in the United States upon its initial release, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personal works. Blu-ray Release Date: May 19th, 2015

Carl Theodor Dreyer Collection BD - Carl Theodor Dreyer is one of world cinema's most enduringly praised filmmakers. His visually arresting, intensely austere style has been a major influence on Lars von Trier, amongst others. This strictly limited edition 3-disc Blu-ray box set, (plus a bonus DVD of extra material) presents a number of his most revered films alongside some of his lesser-known works, and an extensive selection of extra features. Blu-ray Release Date: April 20th, 2015

The Organization BD - Screen icon Sidney Poitier (Paris Blues) reprises his role as Lt. Virgil Tibbs for a third and final time, following the masterpiece In the Heat of the Night and the thrilling sequel They Call Me Mister Tibbs! Under the cover of darkness, six masked figures raid a seemingly respectable furniture factory and steal a multimillion-dollar cache of heroin! But these are no ordinary crooks. They're a passionate band of former users-turned-vigilantes whose frustration with the law's inability to combat the city's drug problem spurs them to take on a powerful narcotics ring. After contacting Tibbs, they confess to the break-in, beg him to keep silent and ask for his help. But once he reluctantly agrees to operate outside the law, Tibbs soon finds himself at odds with the police and a ruthless drug syndicate that will stop at nothing to silence him! Don Medford (The Hunting Party) directs this taut thriller that exposes the ruthless, high-stakes world of international drug trafficking. Blu-ray Release date: May 12th, 2015

Fantail - Tania (Sophie Henderson, who also scripted) is a Maori on the inside despite her blonde hair and blue eyes, in contrast to her younger brother Piwakawaka (Jahalis Ngamotu) whose darker features she envies. Taking are of her diabetic mother (Beth Kayes) by day and working at a gas station convenience store with her uncle Rog (Stephen Lovatt) by night, Tania is saving up money for her and Pi to take a trip to Surfer's Paradise to find their absent father (Tammy Davis, WHALE RIDER). Tania is left alone when Pi decides to go to Paeroa for the season to pick and pack kiwis with his trouble-making mate Bigman (Vinnie Bennett). While Tania forms a tentative attraction with uptight regional manager Dean (Jarod Rawiri, JINX SISTER) - who takes offense at Tania's use of Maori diction while denying his own heritage - Pi follows Big Man along on a series of burglaries and gets hooked on heroin. DVD Release Date: March 24th, 2015

Curling - Set on the fringe of society in a remote part of the countryside, Curling takes a keen look at the unusual private life of a father and his daughter. Between his unremarkable jobs, Jean-François (Emmanuel Bilodeau) devotes an awkward energy to Julyvonne (Philomčne Bilodeau). The fragile balance of their relationship will be jeopardized by some bleak circumstances. DVD Release Date: April 14th, 2015

An Act of War - Following an extended tour of duty in the Middle East, a veteran returns home only to face new enemy. Battling insomnia & undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder, he finds a job as a projectionist working the night shift at a decrepit theater. As he struggles to adapt to civilian life, he quickly finds himself tangled in an inescapable web of seduction, addiction, & violence. His disdain for those around him reaches a boiling point and he embarks on a new war against society, vowing to take drastic action against it in an attempt to defend the country he loves. DVD Release Date: March 31st, 2015
