Peter Whitehead and the Sixties | DVD | (29/10/2007)
from £9.97
| Saving you £10.02 (100.50%)
| RRP Legendary filmmaker Peter Whitehead was at the heart of Swinging London chronicling the youth explosion the burgeoning popular music scene and the counterculture of the 1960s. Now the BFI releases two of his films for the first time; Wholly Communion (1965) and Benefit of the Doubt (1967) coupled with a new interview with Peter and additional rare footage. With over three hours of material Peter Whitehead and the Sixties is a fascinating document of the radical experimental literary and theatrical scenes of 60s London. On 11 June 1965 the Royal Albert Hall played host to a slew of American and European beat poets for an extraordinary impromptu event - the International Poetry Incarnation - that arguably marked the birth of London's gestating counterculture. Cast in the role of historian as a man-on-the-scene and massively elevating his limited resources Whitehead constructed the extraordinary Wholly Communion from the unfolding circus. As Allen Ginsberg Lawrence Ferlinghetti Gregory Corso Harry Fainlight Alexander Trocchi and others took to the stage Whitehead confidently wandered with his borrowed camera creating a participatory and anarchic film that is as much a landmark as the event itself and launched his career. Following this success Whitehead was invited to film a controversial new play US by radical theatre director Peter Brook. Building on the provocative question of Britain's relationship to America during the Vietnam War Whitehead pushed the issue of complicity further challenging the relationship between the actors - including a young Glenda Jackson - and their performances. Steadfast and provocative in its consideration of international relations and war Benefit of the Doubt has troubling relevance to the current political climate.

Grizzly Falls | DVD | (07/10/2002)
from £4.49
| Saving you £-1.50 (N/A%)
| RRP Grizzly Falls is a gorgeous, hopelessly old-fashioned film that's unlikely to attract the viewership it ought to--none of the characters is particularly witty or clever; special effects, save a few stunts with a bear, are nil; and the irony level is at an all-time low. In other words, prying the kids away from Pokémon to watch this film may be a challenge, but it's worth the effort. Daniel Clark plays Harry, a lad of around eight who accompanies Tyrone (Bryan Brown), his thrill-seeking dad, on a mission to the Colorado Rockies, where he intends to be the first to capture a live grizzly. It's the early 1900s, so the means by which Tyrone plans to snare the beast aren't especially humane--at a saloon stop, he hires five tough guys, one with a team of hounds. Then the hunt begins. The hounds' punishing master quickly emerges as a villain; when he and two dogs are mauled by the grizzly, he exacts revenge by caging the bear's cubs. She, in classic righteous-mother mode, retaliates by dragging Harry into the woods. What follows is a desperate chase through beautiful countryside by tireless Tyrone and the blossoming of an impossible boy-bear friendship. Mizzy, as Harry comes to call the bear, protects him from dangers of the wild while leading the boy to her caged cubs, who are travelling east with the ornery houndskeeper. There's a showdown when the animal family is reunited, but Harry and Tyrone extinguish a series of confrontations handily, then move on to cement their own iffy relationship. The surplus of action scenes in this PG-rated film will wow kids eight and up, and only jaded viewers will summon the callousness to criticise its unapologetic portrayal of blind loyalty and courage at all costs. --Tammy La Gorce, Amazon.com
