Flesh and Fury [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] Review



Flesh and Fury [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] Feature

  • THIS DVD WILL NOT WORK ON STANDARD US DVD PLAYER
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Flesh and Fury stars OSCAR® nominated Tony Curtis (Some Like it Hot, The Defiant Ones, The Great Race) in one of his first leading roles with Golden Globe winner Jan Sterling (The High and the Mighty, Ace in the Hole) and Wallace Ford (Harvey, Spellbound). Director Joseph Pevney (Man of a Thousand Faces) tells the story of deaf mute boxer Paul Callan
(Curtis) who starts boxing for purses when he catches the eye of Sonya Bartow (Sterling) a bloodthirsty, money-sucking blonde bombshell. With Sonya keen to push his career (and his winnings!) and with the help of retired fight manager Jack 'Pop' Richardson (Ford), Callan seems all but unstoppable.

For a time, Sonya has the upper hand with Paul, until a rival appears in the shape of upper-crust reporter Ann Hollis (Mona Freeman). Assigned to write an article on the hearing-impaired fighter she soon finds herself falling for him. With the women fighting for influence over Paul and ultimately his love, or money in Sonya's case, Paul quickly discovers that getting what he has always wanted doesn't necessarily lead to a happy ending.

Available for the first time in this digitally re-mastered form, Flesh and Fury shows its cast in the most flattering light: Tony Curtis is exceptional in one of his first starring roles, and Jan Sterling delivers possibly the finest performance of her career.

Shoah (4 Disc Set & 184 Page Book Special Edition Box Set) (UK PAL/Region 2)

Shoah (4 Disc Set & 184 Page Book Special Edition Box Set) (UK PAL/Region 2) Review



* PAL/Region 2 pressing.

* Please note you will need a Multi-Region/Multi-Format DVD player to view. This will not play on standard US DVD players/drives. If you don't know what this means, don't order this!

UK only Director approved edition includes a new progressive transfer, improved English sub-titles along with a 184-page book featuring writing by Stuart Liebman and analysis by Claurde Lamzman.

Shoah is Claude Lanzmann's landmark documentary meditation on the Holocaust. Assembled from footage shot by the filmmaker during the 1970s and 1980s, it investigates the genocide at the level of experience: the geographical layout of the camps and the ghettos; the daily routines of imprisonment; the inexorable trauma of humiliation, punishment, extermination; and the fascinating insights of those who experienced these events first hand. Absent from the film is any imagery shot at the time the Holocaust occurred. There is only Lanzmann and his crew, filming in private spaces and now-dormant zones of eradication to extract testimony from a series of survivors, witnesses, and oppressors alike. Through his relentless questioning (aided on occasion by hidden camera), Lanzmann is able to coax out material of unparalleled emotional truth that constitutes both precious oral history and withering indictment. Shoah (the title is a common designation for the Holocaust, and a Hebrew word that can be translated as 'Catastrophe' or 'Annihilation') was the first of Lanzmann's films to analyse the effects of the death camps on individual lives and the world at large. It represents an aesthetic achievement in line with Alain Resnais's Night and Fog, combining inquiry, rage, and mourning to create a monumental portrait of shame and grief. Shoah locates within the present a direct line to the horrors of the past, and is widely regarded as one of the most powerful films of all time.
