A Little Princess [VHS]

July 6th, 2010 | Author: prefollowers

A Little Princess [VHS] : After the critical success of 1993′s The Secret Garden, Warner Bros. returned to the novels of Frances Hodgson Burnett to create this 1995 adaptation of A Little Princess, which instantly ranked with The Secret Garden as one of the finest children’s films of the 1990s. Neither film was a huge box-office success, but their quality speaks for itself, and A Little Princess has all the ingredients of a timeless classic. A marvel of production design, the film features lavish sets built almost entirely on a studio backlot in Burbank, California. The story opens in New York just before the outbreak of World War I, when young Sara (Liesel Matthews) is enrolled in private boarding school while her father goes off to war. Under the domineering scrutiny of the school’s wicked headmistress, Miss Minchen (Eleanor Bron), Sara quickly becomes popular with her schoolmates, but fate intervenes and she soon faces a stern reversal of fortune, resorting to wild flights of fancy to cope with an unexpectedly harsh reality. Rather than label her fanciful tales as escapist fantasy, A Little Princess actively encourages a child’s power of imagination–a power that can be used to learn, grow, and adapt to a world that is often cruel and difficult. It’s also one of the most visually beautiful films of the ’90s and creates a fully detailed world within the boarding school–a place where imagination is vital to survival. A first-class production in every respect, this is one family film that should (if it’s not too stuffy to say it) be considered required viewing for parents and kids alike. –Jeff Shannon

Short 2 – Dreams

June 27th, 2010 | Author: prefollowers

Short 2 – Dreams A skyful of stars for La Jetee – Passerby – Texas
La Jetee transcends language (and time) so the English version will in no way disappoint. Moreover this is in no way “12 Monkeys,” just an inspiration for the movie. La Jetee takes one even deeper into the imagination and soul of science fiction. And you will get it.

If you think you don’t like science fiction then see La Jetee, one of its most enduring measuring sticks.
: This reissue of the second release in a series of DVD anthologies of short films, like its fellow Short titles, is loosely organized around a common theme–in this case, the terrain of the subconscious. The big fish here is Chris Marker’s 1962 classic, La Jetée, the forever- haunting, post-apocalyptic story of a man’s descent into a time-tripping dream state, where his origins and destiny fold together in one fleeting moment at an airport. If that scenario sounds somewhat similar to a certain Terry Gilliam feature (oh, OK, it’s 12 Monkeys), you’re right, and Gilliam can be heard on an alternate soundtrack here talking about the challenge and fun of being “inspired by” Marker’s film. (Yet another alternate soundtrack features commentary by 12 Monkeys screenwriters David and Janet Peoples.) Not surprisingly, La Jetée turns out to be a hard act to follow, and there’s not much on Short 2 that even comes close to its league. Alison De Vere’s 1974 animated piece, Café Bar, about a blind date at a coffee house, is more intriguing for its historical value as a “brushsticks style” of crafting images than as a work of art. Joachim Solum and Thomas Lien’s watery Depth Solitude is an effectively blunt and bizarre–but ultimately obvious–fable about a pool cleaner who lives in his deep-sea-diving suit at the bottom of a public swimming facility. The best thing going for it is an English-language narration by Max Von Sydow, who unfortunately is not involved with Carmen Elly’s A Guy Walks into a Bar. This competent but wearying film, about a college-bound young man (Fred Savage) who meets up with a sexy hitchhiker (Allison Moir) and finds his world changed, does not inspire thoughts of a second viewing. On the plus side, there’s an interview with independent director George Hickenlooper and an accompanying, interesting bit showing us a pre-production prototype of select scenes from Hickenlooper’s The Big Brass Ring. If you’ve seen the latter movie in its finished state (based on an original script by Orson Welles and Oja Kodar), it is startling to watch an entirely different roster of actors (including Malcolm McDowell) in roles that Hickenlooper ultimately recast with William Hurt, Nigel Hawthorne, Miranda Richardson, and Irène Jacob. –Tom Keogh
