"Actor: Al Berry"

• Rossini: La Cenerentola (Cinderella) -- Vienna/Chailly | DVD | (03/09/2001) from £33.73   |  Saving you £-8.74 (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  La Cenerentola is one of the few operas to have an important subtitle, "The Triumph of Virtue". This Salzburg production makes a point of its being a moral tale rather than a mere fairy tale like the version reflexively sung by Angelina in her "Cavatina": the defeat and forgiveness of the stepsisters and their greedy father is a settling of moral accounts. The production is also tremendous fun--partly because of gimmicks like the mechanical coach and horses that arrives on stage in the high wind of the Act Two storm--but mostly because of the endlessly energetic pulse of Riccardo Chailly's conducting of the Vienna Philharmonic. Anne Murray is an ideal Angelina, equally good at the heroine's witty intelligence and at the complexity of her emotional situation--loyal to the family that mistreats her. Francisco Araiza is an attractive Don Ramirez; the byplay between him and his servant Dandini (Gino Quilico)--in the duet "Zitto, zitto. Piano, piano", for example is for once genuinely amusing. Parts like Don Magnifico were the late Walter Berry's stock-in-trade--his occasionally menacing portrayal is far richer and more interesting than a mere buffoon. On the DVD: As usual with Arthaus Musik, an excellent production and performance is left to sink or swim without any detailed production notes either on the disc or in the leaflet. The sound is standard PCM stereo and the picture ratio 4:3. There are instructions in French, German, English and Spanish and subtitles in all of those languages plus Italian. --Roz Kaveney

• Things We Lost In The Fire | Blu Ray | (10/08/2009) from £24.28   |  Saving you £-4.29 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Oscar-winners Halle Berry (Monster's Ball Die Another Day) and Benicio Del Toro (Traffic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) give stunning performances in the critically-acclaimed Things We Lost In The Fire a moving story of the triumph of hope and happiness from the depths of despair. In this powerful film directed by Oscar-nominated Susanne Bier Berry plays Audrey Burke a woman whose life has suddenly been shattered by the death of her husband (David Duchovny) in a random act of violence. Lost in grief and left alone to raise her two children Audrey impulsively invites her husband's closest friend Jerry (Del Toro) to move into the family home hoping he can help them cope with their loss. Jerry however has plenty of problems of his own as a former drug addict facing a daily battle to find the inner resilience just to save himself. As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial facing their crises together makes each of them stronger and the development of their relationship is both extraordinarily touching as well as surprisingly humorous. Produced by Oscar-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty) recently recognised for his skills as executive producer of the widely-acclaimed The Kite Runner Things We Lost In The Fire explores the human strength to move forward and the courage to hope.
