• Dead Man Walking | DVD | (01/10/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  A serious film on a serious subject, Dead Man Walking (1995) is enriched by two excellent performances: Sean Penn as a murderer and rapist facing execution on Death Row, and Susan Sarandon as a nun who visits and befriends him. Tim Robbins, the writer and director of the film (and Sarandon's husband), based the film on a true story, and there's not much narrative tension since it's obvious Penn will not escape his fate. But the film is a clear-eyed look at the realities of capital punishment and its grisly rituals, which at the same time never sentimentalises the people or the issues. There is no shying away from the evil of the murderer's acts and their effects on the victims' families, but this is balanced against the heartlessness and cynicism of those in the prison system and their political masters. It's hard to say whether the film is ultimately against capital punishment; it certainly encourages you to think for yourself. On the DVD: The image and sound quality is excellent, in widescreen ratio 16:9. There's a theatrical trailer and a TV commercial for the film, which also has language tracks in English, French and Spanish and subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Dutch and Hungarian. There's also an audio commentary on the film by director Tim Robbins which gives valuable insights into the political background of the film and the shooting process. --Ed Buscombe

Katie was raped at the end of her Christmas holiday - he broke me in, she says of the abuser. Kieri has a lovebite as a result of a strange sex game involving an older woman. And Lizzie takes the stories to a harrowing and dramatic culmination, involving a miscarriage and suicide.The film is hard-edged and disturbing, but it's also Emin's poem to Margate, mixing DV footage Super 8 film into lyrical montage. The natural beauty of the sea and the sunsets is linked with Margate's more manmade pleasures, underscored with a selection of 70s songs that formed the soundtrack to the artist's own adolescence.
