• For Hire | DVD | (28/02/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  This 1997 thriller For Hire ponders the question of what terrible things a person might be persuaded to do, given the right circumstances and the right price. Rob Lowe plays Mitch, a Chicago cab driver trying to make it as an actor, married to the pregnant Faye. Among his clients are bestselling writer Lou Weber (Joe Mantegna), who befriends Mitch and confides in him that a drug dealer is trying to kill him. Over the next few days, Mitch begins to suffer severe stomach pains, collapsing in Weber's apartment after a fare and is diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer. With only a short time to live, he decides to take up Weber's offer to rub out his drug dealer stalker for $50,000, a nest egg for his family after he's gone. A not entirely unpredictable twist follows, hinted at by the Lucifer-like beard sported by Mantegna and the film alights only briefly to meditate on the potential for evil in all of us before resuming its journey along conventional, though certainly passable Hollywood thriller lines. An intriguing precept--it's just a slight shame that neither the players nor director's hearts seem really to be in this movie. On the DVD: Features a trailer. --David Stubbs

• Mon Oncle (DVD and Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (29/10/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The BFI’s acclaimed Jacques Tati remaster series continues with the world premiere High Definition release of Tati’s multi-award-winning third feature, Mon Oncle, in two different versions. This 1958 box-office hit confirmed his reputation as the foremost comic artist of his day and picked up a string of awards, including the 1959 Oscar for Best Foreign Film.Tati’s second outing as the accident-prone Monsieur Hulot takes him to Paris where the high-tech lifestyle of his relatives, the Arpels, is contrasted with his old-fashioned ways in a scruffy part of town. With an eye on the international market, and wishing to avoid subtitles (which he always disliked), Tati shot two versions of the film – Mon Oncle and My Uncle, the latter replacing French signs such as ‘Ecole’ and ‘Sortie’ with their English equivalents and dubbing much of the main dialogue into English. This specially remastered edition contains both versions.

• Muriel, Ou Le Temps D'un Retour | DVD | (30/03/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  If cinema has its equivalents to the master modernists of music painting or literature then one of the tradition's foremost practitioners is undoubtedly Alain Resnais - and Muriel ou le Temps d'un retour (Muriel or: The Time of a Return) represents one of his earliest and greatest triumphs. In Resnais' two preceding features (the legendary Hiroshima mon amour and Last Year at Marienbad) the master filmmaker pioneered new ways of representing inner reality and emotion; but with Muriel he merged the vicissitudes of his characters' personal pasts and married them to the traumas of the political present - namely the French war in Algeria. Resnais' film is the story of the middle-aged H''l''ne (portrayed by Delphine Seyrig of Last Year at Marienbad Truffaut's Stolen Kisses and Akerman's Jeanne Dielman) an antique dealer located in the provinicial port-town of Boulogne-sur-Mer who resides amid her wares inside the same flat that serves as her business showroom. Against the backdrop of the past that exists materially in the immediate milieu of the film's action an old lover of H''l''ne's comes to visit - and soon takes up a more permanent residence within her life despite the presence of a suspicious tortured and sexualised stepson who is haunted by a woman a name from his own past in his time in Algiers: Muriel. Scripted by Jean Cayrol the co-writer of Resnais' landmark early short film Night and Fog Muriel is one of the great family films and stands like a cinema landmark as one of the most complex and rewarding films of the 1960s - the richness of which grows with every viewing.
