BIG THANKS!: DVDBeaver would not exist without the support of many patrons - those who generously donate, and especially those who use our Amazon(s), Barnes & Noble, TCM, Warner Archive and YesAsia links. That's it. When you go to Amazon - PLEASE use one of our links to get there (they are on every page - top and bottom - and we have 5000 webpages). It costs you absolutely nothing and we get a small commission on items you purchase. This helps pay our bills - in fact it's the only thing that pays our bills.
STRATEGIES: The best way to take full advantage of Amazon is to use...
PRE-ORDERs - lock in at the discount price by ORDERING - if perchance you decide against the purchase you have until the release date to cancel - at no charge AND if you will purchase more than 35 DVDs (or anything) in a 365 day period (and live in the Continental US) it makes excellent financial sense to subscribe to Amazon Prime
NOTE:_

If there are DVD or Blu-ray titles you'd like us to cover - please feel free to recommend!

ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): Not a stacked week but Laszlo Nemes’ Son of Saul would probably get top selection in a newsletter with double the Blu-ray reviews - a brilliant, remarkable, impacting film. Also from AE/Curzon in the UK Hirokazu Koreeda's Our Little Sister evokes some of the past masters of Japanese social dramas - another special film on Blu-ray. Another essential Noir, Phil Karlson's 99 River Street, comes to Blu-ray and it advances massively over the poor quality DVD. Dark Cinema lovers shouldn't hesitate. Peter Watkins' fabulous historical/bio Edvard Munch gets a delicious release to Blu-ray from the Masters of Cinema - the rich, textured, image will draw you into the story. Certainly a pattern is forming with VCI Entertainment. Their Blu-ray transfers continue to severely underwhelm - this week it's The Brave One - a good film that's a DNR-drenched mess via VCI's Blu-ray transfer. Needless to say - we don't want to encourage this practice with an endorsing purchase. Pass. On DVD Eric covers Second Run's Stuff and Dough - a Romanian drama from Cristi Puiu. Valley of Love sounds very interesting starring Isabelle Huppert and Gerard Depardieu and the Second City-esque comedy Going Berserk should tell you all you need to know with its tagline "The Good, The Bad and The Stupid".

Film Quote of the week:

"I didn't recognize you. You should lay off those candy bars." - Tanya (Marlene Dietrich) to Quinlan (Orson Welles) in Touch of Evil

Stay secure! we'll talk again soon - Gary

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Son of Saul BD - In Laszlo Nemes’s remarkable Holocaust drama, Son of Saul, there’s a minor character who risks his life secretly taking photographs of the corpses. There’s a passing suggestion from another prisoner that the photographer thinks his images might somehow be passed to an army that would then know to liberate the camp, but the photographs are more likely intended for history. Son of Saul is a film that knows nothing can be rescued from Auschwitz except memory. Watching it is a harrowing experience, and the first 20 minutes or so are particularly difficult. The film is shot from the narrow perspective – and the narrowness is the only thing that makes it bearable – of Saul Auslander, a Hungarian Jew who works in the Sonderkommando that herds new prisoners into the “showers,” collects the victims’ clothing, moves the bodies to the crematorium and scrubs out the gas chamber before the next transport arrives. Blu-ray Release date: July 4th, 2016

Our Little Sister BD - This sweetly tender movie from Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda is superbly unforced and unassuming, finding delicate notes of affirmation and optimism and discreetly celebrating the beauty of nature and family love. It is watercolour cinema with nothing watery about it, in the classic “family drama” vein that you might associate with Yasujirô Ozu, though in conversation at Cannes last year – where I first saw this – the director told me his inspiration was more Mikio Naruse. Our Little Sister is not as challenging and overtly painful as his previous films I Wish or Like Father, Like Son, and there might be some who find it a bit tame or even sentimental; I can only say there is something subtly subversive in the emotional dynamic Kore-eda creates with having three or four women on screen. Blu-ray Release date: June 13th, 2016

The Brave One BD - A film full of warmth and sensitivity, The Brave One is story about the friendship of a boy and a bull. Gitano or Gypsy is the name the boy gives the bull whose life he saves during a storm. The animal follows him around like a puppy until the legal owners spirit the mature Gitano away to do battle with top matador Fermin Rivera in the Plaza de Mexico bullring in Mexico City. The boy protests in vain at the cruelty of the arena and finally secures a "pardon" for his pet signed by the President of Mexico, but he is too late. The bullfight continues. What follows is such a display of courage that the crowd calls for the "undulto" a demand that the bull be allowed to live. Based on a true incident, the film earned a "Best Story" Academy AwardŽ for Robert Rich - who, much to the embarrassment of the Academy, turned out to be blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Blu-ray Release date: June 14th, 2016

99 River Street BD - Ernie Driscoll (John Payne) is an ex-fighter who came within seconds of winning the world championship. He's now forced to eke out a living driving a cab. A basically decent guy, he has lots of people who care about him, including Linda James (Evelyn Keyes), a slightly ditsy actress friend -- but Ernie also has a short fuse, especially where his wife Pauline (Peggie Castle) is concerned. His rage boils over when he spots her kissing another man, but her unfaithfulness turns out to be the least of his worries. The man she's seeing, Vic Rawlins (Brad Dexter), is a career criminal with both the police and his former partners after him, and he sees Ernie as the perfect fall-guy. The law and Rawlins' criminal associates are soon closing in on Ernie, while he tries desperately -- with Linda's help -- to buy the time he needs to unravel this nightmare. Blu-ray Release Date: June 21st, 2016

Edvard Munch BD - Made for Norwegian TV in 1974, this long but fascinating biopic by Peter Watkins mixes dramatic and documentary techniques to profile the man who painted The Scream. A documentary voice-over in English examines Munch in a calm, academic tone, observing trends in the European art world and citing notable world events to give a sense of the context. At the same time, dramatic scenes are played in subtitled Norwegian by nonprofessional actors who often stare mutely at the viewer like figures in the paintings. With fluid free-associative editing, Watkins weaves together moments from Munch's past and present as the young painter crafts his eerie domestic studies, touching on his affair with a married woman and his loss of his mother and sister to tuberculosis. Though haunting, the film is also admirably precise in its documentation of Munch's work process, with a fine tactile sense lacking in most movies about two-dimensional artists. Blu-ray Release Date: June 13th, 2016

Going Berserk - Going Berserk stars the outrageous Emmy-winning SCTV comedy troupe of John Candy, Joe Flaherty and Eugene Levy. Hilarity ensues when a chauffeur (Candy) is brainwashed by a religious aerobics cult to kill his soon-to-be father-in-law, a United States Congressman. This off-the-wall comedy lampoons everything from religious cults to Kung Fu movies to “Father Knows Best” (complete with a cameo by the show’s original “Princess” Elinor Donahue). Featuring such comedy character actors as Paul Dooley, Richard Libertini and Bill (“Ya Doesn’t Has to Call Me Mr. Johnson”) Saluga, Going Berserk recreates the inspired madness of the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges. Simply Media DVD Release Date: June 6th, 2016

Valley of Love - In this mysterious and beautiful examination of a broken family, acclaimed actors, Isabelle Huppert and Gerard Depardieu play thinly disguised versions of themselves as a separated couple who journey to Death Valley after receiving a mysterious letter from their dead son in the expectation that he will appear to them at a certain place and time in the desert. DVD Release Date: June 14th, 2016

Stuff and Dough - Seeking a way to finance his own independence Ovidiu agrees to courier a bag of what appear to be pharmaceutical medicines to Bucharest. Taking his friend Vali and his new girlfriend Betty along for the ride, their initial high spirits are shattered when a pursuing red jeep attempts to drive them off the road. They have no idea who's in the jeep or what they want, but a simple trip to Bucharest has suddenly become a life-threatening ordeal... Part crime thriller, part comedy, part chase movie, part familial drama the conscious conflation of genres in this dryly funny, political, but deceptively simple road movie quietly reveals the state of contemporary Romanian life. DVD Release Date: May 27th, 2016
