  Harmony Korine's debut feature is an audacious, lyrical evocation of America's rural underbelly, and an elegy in the southern-gothic tradition of William Faulkner and William Eggleston. Shot in Korine's native Nashvillestanding in for the tornado-ravaged Xenia, Ohiothe rough-hewn film follows two young friends, Tummler and Solomon, as they ride around town, huffing glue and hunting stray cats, their every local encounter charged with vaudevillian anarchy as well as deep pathos. At once transgressive and empathetic, disturbing and undeniably beautiful, Gummo is a one-of-a-kind portrait of angelic and devilish souls caught in a cultural void, circumscribed by poverty and the depleted, alienated spiritual life of late-twentieth-century America.Film Info¢ United States¢ 1997¢ 89 minutes¢ Colour¢ 1.85:1¢ English¢ Spine #1238DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES¢ New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Harmony Korine, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack¢ [4k ONLY] One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features¢ New interview with Korine¢ Conversation from 1997 between Korine and filmmaker Werner Herzog¢ Split Screen: Projections episode from 2000 featuring Korine in conversation with host John Pierson¢ Trailer¢ English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing¢ PLUS: An essay by film critic Carlos Aguilar and an appreciation by filmmaker Hype Williams¢ New illustration by Joao Rosa

• This Boy's Life | DVD | (17/10/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Robert De Niro gets top billing, but young Leonardo DiCaprio is the revelation of This Boy's Life, an astute, often painful drama of growing up in the 1950s Pacific Northwest, based on the autobiographical novel by Tobias Wolff. DiCaprio plays Tobias, a good kid with a bad boy streak but an unwavering love for his divorced mother (Ellen Barkin). "I want to be a better boy", he promises from under a greasy pompadour, and tries to prove it when she marries single father Dwight (DeNiro), a bully who parents through intimidation and humiliation. A pre-Titanic DiCaprio is magnetic in his first starring role, full of anger, hope and confusion as he drifts back to juvenile delinquency and his intensity gives the true story of survival and triumph its charge. DeNiro is frightening and pathetic as Dwight, and Dwight's youngest daughter is played by future star and vampire slayer Eliza Dushku. --Sean Axmaker
