ONE VOICE (not Ellsworth Monkton Toohey): Fritz Lang’s two-part Die Nibelungen on Masters of Cinema Blu-ray is the most notable release covered this week - nay, this year. It is an expressionistic and grand epic. Criterion's Blu-ray of Polanski's Rosemary's Baby is a welcome addition to any digital library. Max Ophuls' Letter From An Unknown Woman goes 1080P thanks to Olive Films and the result is the best Home Theater transfer for this masterpiece. Anything Kubrick perks up the ears of cinephiles and his first effort - Fear and Desire - is restored and available on Blu-ray. It's encouraging to see Marcel Carne's atmospheric Le Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows) reach the new format. Robert Wise' Three Secrets is a very good film with some impressive performances. Sydney Pollack's feature-film The Slender Thread boasts similar attributes with Bancroft and Poitier and is an entertaining, worthy, film. Olive films offers another notable directorial debut to Blu-ray with Alan J. Pakula's The Sterile Cuckoo. Uptight is a unique film by Jules Dassin and includes a cool jazz score of Booker T. Jones. Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse blends horror and black humor within a sinister travelling carnival. Walter Hill's The Driver gets a sloppy HD transfer out of Japan - unworthy of the film's subtleties. On DVD this week The Masters of Cinema group have created an impressive package of Samuel Fuller's Park Row - just excellent. Eric reviewed the family-conflict drama Almost Kings as well as world cinema from the Global Lens Initiative; The Light Thief about a resourceful electrician, Soul of Sand - a mystery-thriller out of India and the Argentinean effort entitled Twisted Romance... Have a pleasant week!

  THIS WEEK's REVIEWS / COMPARISONS
 

Three Secrets BD - Three Secrets is a darker variation of a theme first explored in A Letter to Three Wives. A plane crashes in the mountains of California; the only survivor is a five-year-old boy, who hovers between life and death. It is discovered that the boys was traveling with his now deceased adoptive parents. Susan Chase (Eleanor Parker), Phyllis Horn (Patricia Neal) and Ann Lawrence (Ruth Roman) wait in agony years earlier, each of the three women had given up a baby son for adoption, with the same birth date as the injured child. Could it be that the little boy on the mountain is actually the son of one of the three women? And if so, how many painful secrets will be revealed in the next few hours? Directed by the great Robert Wise (West Side Story) and beautifully shot by Sidney Hickox (The Big Sleep). Blu-ray Release Date: October 16th, 2012

The Funhouse BD - On her first date with Buzz (Cooper Huckabee, True Blood), Amy (Elizabeth Berridge, Amadeus) disobeys her father and goes to the carnival with Richie (Miles Chapin, Hair) and Liz (Largo Woodruff), but their first date may end up as their last. After witnessing a murder, the four terrified teens are trapped in the maze of the funhouse and stalked by a real monster, a horribly deformed killer who lurks among the freakish exhibits waiting to butcher them one by one. Funhouse also stars Sylvia Miles (Midnight Cowboy) and Kevin Conway (in three roles) and features special makeup designs by Academy Award winner Rick Baker (An American Werewolf In London, Ed Wood). Shout! Factory Blu-ray Release Date: October 16th, 2012

Letter From An Unknown Woman BD - Of all the cinema's fables of doomed love, none is more piercing than this. Fontaine nurses an undeclared childhood crush on her next-door neighbour, a concert pianist (Jourdan); much later, he adds her to his long list of conquests, makes her pregnant - and forgets all about her. Ophüls' endlessly elaborate camera movements, forever circling the characters or co-opting them into larger designs, expose the impasse with hallucinatory clarity: we see how these people see each other and why they are hopelessly, inextricably stuck. Blu-ray Release Date: October 16th, 2012

Fear and Desire BD - Independently financed, and shot by a skeleton crew - with Kubrick controlling almost every aspect of production - FEAR AND DESIRE was conceived as a European-style art film, cloaked in the guise of a Hollywood war picture. Kubrick described the film to distributor Joseph Burstyn as allegorical and poetic. ''A drama of 'man', lost in a hostile world-deprived of material and spiritual foundations-seeking his way to an understanding of himself, and of life around him.'' Blu-ray Release date: October 23rd, 2012

Rosemary's Baby BD - Horrifying and darkly comic, Rosemary’s Baby was Roman Polanski’s Hollywood debut. This wildly entertaining nightmare, faithfully adapted from Ira Levin’s best seller, stars a revelatory Mia Farrow as a young mother-to-be who grows increasingly suspicious that her overfriendly elderly neighbors (played by Sidney Blackmer and an Oscar-winning Ruth Gordon) and self-involved husband (John Cassavetes) are hatching a satanic plot against her and her baby. In the decades of occult cinema that Polanski’s ungodly masterpiece has spawned, it has never been outdone for sheer psychological terror. Blu-ray Release Date: October 30th, 2012

The Slender Thread BD - Sydney Pollack's feature-film debut deals with a woman, played by Anne Bancroft (The Graduate), who takes an overdose of prescription pills and calls a crisis clinic for help. Sidney Poitier (In the Heat of the Night), plays a college volunteer who tries to keep the suicidal woman on the line while asking the police to trace the call. Stirling Silliphant (The Towering Inferno) wrote the screenplay based upon an actual incident reported in Time Magazine. The Slender Thread boasts a strong supporting cast featuring Telly Savalas, Steven Hill, Ed Asner and Dabney Coleman, with a rousing score by Quincy Jones (The Getaway) and great black-and-white cinematography by Loyal Griggs (Shane). Blu-ray Release date: October 16th, 2012

The Sterile Cuckoo BD - Alan J. Pakula's directorial debut stars Liza Minnelli (Cabaret) as Pookie Adams, a relentlessly kooky coed who falls in love with a reserved young college student, Jerry Payne (Wendell Burton). She actively pursues the shy boyish-man and helps him through the tough first months in school. They both benefit from the relationship; he gains self-confidence and she's now able to come to grips with her unhappy home life, but sadly he gradually outgrows her. This very realistic and heartbreaking love story received two Oscar nominations, one for Minnelli (Best Actress) and one for Fred Karlin and Dory Previn for their song, Come Saturday Morning. Blu-ray Release date: October 16th, 2012

Almost Kings - With their father lost in anger and self-loathing, Truck Wheeler has raised his younger brother Ted as best as he could, considering he's just a teenager himself. In return, Ted idolizes his brother. Now, during their one year of high school together, Ted will realize there are troubling aspects to Truck and his party-hardy gang, The Kings. Sometimes, acceptance comes with a price. DVD Release Date: June 12th, 2012

The Light Thief - After Kyrgyz village Kok-Moinok's local electrician Svet-Ake (writer/director Aktan Arym Kubat, MOTHER'S PARADISE), or "Mr. Light", is arrested for tampering with meters for people who cannot afford to pay for electricity, he is not jailed but does lose his job. New opportunities come when deputy hopeful Bezhat (Askat Sulaimanov, SARATAN) arrives with hopes to foster the village's cultural development and he shows interest in Svet-Ake's ambitions to power the entire village with wind power from the nearby gorge; however, respected local mayor Esen (Asan Amanov, THE EMPTY HOUSE) knows that Bezhat covets the land which he plans to sell to the Chinese (and a power source will make it more attractive since most of the current villagers have no electricity in their homes). When Esen suddenly passes away, Bezhat places distant relative Mansur (Stanbek Toichubaev) as the new mayor and proceeds in his redevelopment plans, intimidating those who do not support him. The offer of work for Svet-Ake means both money for his family and an opportunity to realize his ambitions, but it also may mean the further erosion of the village into nothing. DVD Release Date: September 25th, 2012

Soul of Sand - Brutal and utterly nihilistic for an Indian export (well, for those of us who know Indian cinema mainly through Bollywood musicals and a handful of more restrained social realism films), SOUL OF SAND is thin on plot; however, the "forbidden lovers" and pursuing killer elements are really secondary to the film's exploration of caste and predation. DVD Release Date: September 25th, 2012

Twisted Romance - Nineteen year old Roberto (Nehuen Zapata) spends much of his time away from home since as his mother (Olga Perezgel) and sister Alejandra (Marisa Pajaro) jointly support themselves (and him) through both prostitution and palm-reading. One day he is propositioned by fifty-something Raul (Oscar Génova). While Roberto gets no enjoyment out of their rough first encounter, he nevertheless seems to see something more in a continued relationship with Raul than a home away from home. Although Raul is noncommittal and only interested in Roberto when he wants sex, Raul is nevertheless controlling and possessive. DVD Release Date: September 25th, 2012

Park Row - When Phineas Mitchell (Gene Evans), a visionary newspaperman, launches his own title The Globe, his eye-catching headlines and approach quickly catch fire with the New York readership. But less impressed is Charity Hackett (Mary Welch), proprietor of long-established rival The Star, and attempts to undercut The Globe soon escalate into all-out war. Packing more dynamite into eight reels than most directors unleash over a career, Fuller's self-financed Park Row is a passionate, idiosyncratic work of gritty myth-making. DVD Release Date: October 22nd, 2012

Le Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows) BD - Down a foggy, desolate road to the port city of Le Havre travels Jean (Jean Gabin), an army deserter looking for another chance to make good on life. Fate, however, has a different plan for him, when acts of both revenge and kindness turn him into front-page news. Also starring the blue-eyed phenomenon Michèle Morgan in her first major role, and the menacing Michel Simon, Port of Shadows (Le Quai des brumes) starkly portrays an underworld of lonely souls wrestling with their own destinies. Based on the novel by Pierre Mac Orlan, the inimitable team of director Marcel Carné and writer Jacques Prévert deliver a quintessential example of poetic realism, one of the classics of the golden age of French cinema. Blu-ray Release Date: September 10th, 2012

Uptight BD - Uptight is an updated remake of John Ford's 1935 film, The Informer. Dublin becomes the Cleveland ghetto and the Irish Republicans are replaced by black revolutionary fighters. Days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Tank Williams (Julian Mayfield) is an unemployed and itinerant steelworker who turns over his militant friend, Johnny (Max Julien) to the police for the $1,000 reward, resulting in an underground all-points bulletin to exact vengeance on the squealer. Legendary director, Jules Dassin's unrelenting directorial pace is complemented by the driving score of Booker T. Jones. The stellar cast includes Raymond St. Jacques, Ruby Dee, Roscoe Lee Browne, and Frank Silvera. Blu-ray Release date: October 16th, 2012

Die Nibelungen BD - Adapted from the myth that served as the basis for Wagner’s Ring cycle (though not an adaptation of the operas themselves), Lang’s picture employs its own counterpoint through a systematic, viral series of deranged geometrical patterns and the arresting, kabuki-like quality of the actors’ performances. The result is a film of startling expressionistic power, and a summit of Fritz Lang’s artistry. Blu-ray Release date: October 29th, 2012

The Driver BD - An audacious, skillful film noir by Walter Hill, so highly stylized that it's guaranteed to alienate 90 percent of its audience. There's no realism, no psychology, and very little plot in Hill's story of a deadly game between a professional getaway driver (Ryan O'Neal) and a detective obsessed with catching him (Bruce Dern). There is, however, a great deal of technically sophisticated and very imaginative filmmaking. The cross-references here are Howard Hawks, Robert Bresson, and Jean-Pierre Melville: a strange, heady, and quite effective range of influences. Blu-ray Release Date: October 2nd, 2012
