Salvador Dali: 1904-1989 (Taschen 25th Anniversary)
Picasso called Dal? “an outboard motor that’s always running.” Dal? thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dal? (1904-1989) was one of the century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics — and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination.This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, privy to the reality behind Dal?’s public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dal? — both the man and the myth.

Un chien andalou / L’Age D’or (An Andalusian Dog / Age of Gold) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Great Britain ] “Great Britain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. LANGUAGES: French (Mono), English (Subtitles), SYNOPSIS: Un chien andalou: In a dream-like sequence, a woman’s eye is slit open–juxtaposed with a similarly shaped cloud obsucuring the moon moving in the same direction as the knife through the eye–to grab the audience’s attention. The French phrase ‘ants in the palms,’ (which means that someone is ‘itching’ to kill) is shown literally. A man pulls a piano along with the tablets of the Ten Commandments and a dead donkey towards the woman he’s itching to kill. A shot of differently striped objects is repeatedly used to connect scenes. L’Age D’or: Bunuel’s first feature has more of a plot than Un Chien Andalou, but it’s still a pure Surrealist film, so this is only a vague outline. A man and a woman are passionately in love with one another, but their attempts to consummate that passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, the Church and bourgeois society. SPECIAL FEATURES: 2-DVD Set, Box Set, Commentary, Documentary, Interactive Menu, ”
Customer Review: TWO EMBLEMATIC MASTERPIECES

Un chien andalou is, with The blood of a poet, the first and most ambitious film immersed into a total surrealistic sphere, with mesmerizing, provocative and chilling sequences that already are part of the history in the cinema. No serious or hard fan movie lover should miss this avant-garde film, that maintains still fresh its audacious profile among the most genuine samples of cinema-art.

L’AGE D’ OR

The sardonic grimace of this irreverent filmmaker walked over on the own entrails of surrealism defying social prejudices and ethic barriers, proposing a delirious set of vignettes that shows us with admirable intensity and surprising audacious, those nestled vices wedged by Jung as the unconscious collective, but besides there is an admirable exploration of the hedonistic fantasies and impetuous flagrancies of the human being.

The initial sequence in which we can watch scorpions in its wild environment, will be the pivot to undertake a long way around and about some pestilences of our social stains, and to my mind it was the point of departure of Sam Peckinpah as acid metaphor in its film “The wild bunch”

This film will beat you in what concerns to its lavish and mesmerizing narrative style but the way was edited by this giant of the cinema: Don Luis Bunuel.

John Lennon: Imagine It can hardly be a coincidence that this “deluxe edition” of John Lennon - Imagine should be issued in late 2005, a couple of months after what would have been the former Beatle’s 65th birthday and mere days before the 25th anniversary of his death. Whether that’s cynical, poignant, or just good marketing is moot; what matters is that Lennon’s impact, not just as a musician but as a public figure, remains largely undiminished. The film, released theatrically in 1988, will already be familiar to many fans. “Narrated” by Lennon himself and culled from hundreds of hours of footage, much of it home movies shot by John and Yoko Ono, Imagine is a substantial, reasonably illuminating portrait of the man, warts and all, from childhood through the Beatle years, his solo career, and his life with Yoko straight up to his fatal encounter with Mark David Chapman. It’s the new bonus features that are the principal draw here; but whether or not they qualify as “deluxe” is arguable. The Lennons’ radio interview with a BBC reporter is notable mostly for John’s patience in the face of idiotic questions like “Is love very important to young people today?” The ten or so minutes spent with Lennon’s school headmaster, William Ernest Pobjoy (love the name), yield little insight, especially considering that the two were at the school at the same time for just one year, half a century ago; likewise, a new “making of” documentary with Ono, writer-director Andrew Solt, producer David Wolper, and others isn’t exactly ground-breaking. However, a previously unreleased performance of “Imagine,” with Lennon and some unknown accompanists on acoustic guitar, is nice, as is some heretofore unseen footage of the Lennons at home on their Tittenhurst Estate. Add to that a fine transfer and Dolby digital sound, and you have another addition to the filmed legacy of the Beatles–a subject that, for many of us, will never be old news. –Sam Graham
Customer Review: Imagine
This was a very moving documentary.
I was brought to tears while watching these moments in the life of John Lennon.

It’s an excellent product for any fan!
Customer Review: Imagine
The strength of “Imagine” lies in its clear-eyed depiction of its subject. Gifted and well-intentioned as he was, Lennon was no saint, and at times, misguided if not na?ve. Example: John and Yoko taking to bed to protest the Vietnam War makes no more sense now than it did then. Conservative cartoonist Al Capp visits them and calls their action “self-aggrandizing” (don’t miss this sequence). In truth, their motives were noble, but their tactics were too bizarre to resonate. Clearly Lennon was still assimilating an unprecedented super-stardom, and coping with the psychic scars of a mother who abandoned him, by letting Yoko infantilize and control him. As John himself wrote, “Whatever gets you through the night…” This revealing documentary is a must-see for any Beatles fan.
