• Babel | HD DVD | (21/05/2007) from £6.75   |  Saving you £23.24 (77.50%)   |  RRP £29.99

  BABEL is the crowning achievement in the trilogy from the unstoppable creative pairing of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, which also includes AMORES PERROS (2000) and 21 GRAMS (2003). Building upon its predecessors' method of weaving together disparate storylines, BABEL reaches new heights of ambition with a tale that, in the absence of traditional narrative and protagonist, relies on numerous incredible performances to evoke an affecting relevance by framing contemporary issues in very human struggles and mistakes. Richard and Susan (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are a wealthy couple from San Diego who are vacationing in Morocco in order to heal after the death of their young child; their other two children are at home with their Mexican maid, Amelia (Adriana Barraza). In a complex shift of ownership to which the audience is privy, a rifle finds its way into the hands of a local herdsman's young sons (Said Tarchani and Boubker Ait El Caid), who recklessly take a shot at a tour bus and catch Susan in the shoulder, causing her to nearly lose her life. The distraught Richard calls home to tell Amelia of the situation, who promptly departs for Mexico to attend her child's wedding, with Richard and Susan's children in tow. Disaster thus multiplies, with the situation in Morocco ascribed to terrorists in the media, while Amelia meets with the harsh immigration policies of the Bush administration. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, a widower (Koji Yakusho) tied to the rifle in question attempts to deal with his memories and his raucous, promiscuous, deaf daughter (Rinko Kikuchi).

• Naya Zamana | DVD | (20/08/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £10.99

  From the earliest days of Indian cinema, the issue of class struggle has cropped up regularly. Pramod Chakravorty's Naya Zamana (1971) is one of the better films in the genre. The never-ending struggle of the poorer classes in India is exemplified by Anoop, an educated young man whose honesty and refusal to bow to corrupt practices results in a lack of opportunities for him. His life changes when the rich Seema falls in love with him and Anoop falls into the ambit of her conniving brother Rajan. Matters come to a head when Rajan steals Anoop's manuscript--a treatise on the ambitions of poverty--and passes it off as his own. Usually known for his tough guy roles, Dharmendra is excellent in the central role of Anoop. Here he carries on the image change process that he began with the similarly themed Satyakam (1969). His hit pairing with real-life partner Hema Malini (in the role of Seema) gets another outing with this film. For director Chakravorty, Naya Zamana marks one of his last successful forays into social cinema. He moved on to the more lucrative action genre with some success, including some with Dharmendra as the leading man, returning to his tough guy routine. On the DVD: Naya Zamana is presented in a crisp new transfer, though inexplicably the opening credits are a bit faded. There are no extras. --Naman Ramachandran
