Imagine: John Lennon 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.

Salvador Dali (Artists of the 20th Century)
Customer Review: DVD Quality Should Have Been Better
Born in Spain in 1904, Salvador Dali was one of the 20th centuries most controversial and celebrated artists. He is best known for his involvement in the surrealist movement due to such painting as The Persistance of Memory, although the leaders of the movement later denounced Dali as overly commercial. After the 1940s, he painted in a more classical style, filling his art with religious and scientific imagery. Famous for his outrageous personality, Dali was not limited to one media; he worked in oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, sculptures, and jewelry. He produced films, illustrated and wrote many books, and created theatrical sets and costumes. Dali? was practically a one-man artistic movement. His unique and mystifying genius brought him international fame and popularity and he is the only artist in history to have two separate museums dedicated exclusively to his works erected during his lifetime: The Salvador Dali Museum in Florida and Theatre Museo Dali in Spain. Accompanied by spectacular images of his greatest work.

Customer Review: A rather bland look at selected works of the artist
First off, let me say that I know next to nothing about art. I would like to cultivate an appreciation for great artwork, but it certainly does not come naturally - especially when it comes to modern art. Dali, however, is a master I at least have some affinity with. Who doesn’t know of the melting clocks? I have also seen the dream sequence he created for Hitchcock’s film Spellbound in 1945. Plus, the guy was just plain weird, and that is something I know a little bit about myself.

This Artists of the 20th Century DVD looks solely at Dali’s artwork. All you see throughout the 50 minutes of video is one piece after another. There is no biographical look at the man, no mention of his contributions to the world beyond his paintings, and certainly no commentary on his eccentric personality (or mustache). There is not even an adequate identification of Gala, his inspiration and muse, despite numerous references to her in his paintings. Thus, this DVD will not introduce you to Dali the man or Dali the artist - it only looks at selected pieces of the art work of the maestro.

Dali’s artwork is obviously impressive, and I was surprised by the variety of his work and styles. The narrator offers insight into some paintings - others, you just look and advance. I don’t understand a lot of Dali’s work, nor can I see some of the things the narrator tells me are in his more abstract pieces. The melting clocks and other surrealist images appeal to me. Dark works such as Visage of War speak volumes to the human observer, and the disappearing bust of Voltaire paintings are also striking. I was most impressed by the small sample of classical pieces Dali painted, however - largely because I did not know he ever produced such works. My idea of a painting equates with something like Design for the Interior Decoration of a Stable-Library, which is a strikingly beautiful work.

Is this DVD worth watching? I will have to say No. If you’re a know-nothing novice like me, there is not enough basic information provided to really illuminate the artwork you will be shown. If you’re knowledgeable about Dali, you’ll be disappointed by the limited nature of the production and by the exquisite Dali works excluded from the show. After watching this, I decided to peruse some Dali galleries online, and I must say that the Internet makes this DVD of little value. Not only are the analyses and critical comments you will find online far superior to the information provided in this video, the quality of the paintings themselves are far better online than they are on the DVD.

Andy Warhol - The Complete Picture
Campbell’s soup cans, drug addicts-turned-celebrities and a Day-Glo Marilyn Monroe: these are some of the groundbreaking images from Andy Warhol’s artistic vision.

This program offers the definitive look at the life and creative world of a revolutionary who influenced the 20th century in everything from painting to film to music. Capturing the essence of Warhol’s strobe-lit, amphetamine- fueled 60s “scene” are rare audiotapes and films from the Warhol Foundation Archives and recollections of friends and colleagues like Debbie Harry and Dennis Hopper.

Enter Warhol’s fabulous inner circle, where both high and lowbrow converge beneath the banner of celebrity and everyone gets to be famous for fifteen minutes.

Customer Review: Without A Doubt One of the Best

Customer Review: Interesting and inspiring!
I bought this after reading a biography on Andy Warhol,

I found it very interesting to see the people I just read

about in video and fill in some details that the book might

not have covered, this is a really entertaining film, full of

footage of Andy at the Factory, making films and being

“Andy Warhol” It also turned me on to the Dandy Warhols

music for which I am very grateful!

There is alot of good footage of Andys art and his home and

posessions and even interviews with family members and a

look at the early life of a struggling immagrant family

and the gifted artist they raised who changed the world of art

and influenced the way products and personality’s are marketed!

Recommended!

Avant Garde and Experimental Films Vol. I 1. UN CHIEN ANDULOU (1928-FRANCE)(An Andalusian Dog) by Luis Bu?uel and SALVADOR DALI. Perhaps the most famous avant garde film of all; the slit eyeball, the ants emerging from the human palm, the severed hand in the street. A series of visual shocks symbolizing nothing. Successful attempt at pure surrealism. With synchronized music score selected by Luis Bu?ue 2.REGEN (RAIN) by JORIS IVENS and MANNUS FRANKEN. (1929-Holland). A lyrical impression of a shower of rain in Amsterdam. Beautifully photographed.3.UBERFALL by ERNO METZNER (c. 1929-Germany). A grim account of a street robbery presenting sordid facts in an objective light. Once banned as “brutalizing and demoralizing” Silent film with music score, correct projection speed.4.THE HEARTS OF AGE (1934-USA). Directed by and starring ORSON WELLES. No plot, but the young Welles (age 19) is easily spotted as a nascent genius. The first footage ever shot by Welles (and way, way before Citizen Kane). Silent film with music score, correct projection speed.5.BALLET MECANIQUE (1924-France) by FERNAND LEGER. A delightful abstract film with a minimum of geometrical forms and a maximum of photographic images. Supposedly shows Freudian symbolism but regardless, a delight to behold visually. Your eye will shake your hand. Silent film with music score, correct projection speed.74 minutes total.
Customer Review: Crazy Visuals, Disturbing Nightmares
Who would have guessed that a Surrealist painter could also become a breakthrough to the world of video art? As a whole, this video is worth the money, as it is a RARE FIND in rental stores. Checkit out. You’ll never see Dali the same way again.

Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film
“He was the most American of artists and the most artistic of Americans,” one man later said - “so American in fact that he is almost invisible to us.” ANDY WARHOL - a riveting and often deeply moving film portrait of the most famous and famously controversial artist of the second half of the twentieth century - is the first to explore the complete spectrum of Warhol’s astonishing artistic output, stretching across five decades from the late 1940’s to his untimely death in 1987. Combining powerful on-camera interviews and rare still and motion picture footage, it is also the first to put Warhol himself - his humble family background and formative experiences in Pittsburgh, and his crucial apprenticeship as a commercial artist in New York - back into the presentation of his life.

Customer Review: Inside Andy Warhol
This is a fantastic and informative documentary on the life and work of Andy Warhol. This interpretation of his life makes the most sense to me. The footage, images, and interviews are fantastic, although there is this one interviewee who occasionally tries to read into Warhol’s work too much, but overall this is a fantastic guide to understanding why Warhol is the cultural phenomenon that he is.

Customer Review: Fairly Informative but Needlessly Dreary in Tone
I’m pleased to know that others find more value in this documentary than I did. As someone who has been fascinated by Warhol’s work and life since childhood, I’ve always felt that a fair and comprehensive overview of the man’s life was lacking, despite several biographies and some documentaries prior to this one. It seems that each biographer or documentarian has some (usually negatively judgemental) bias or point of view that they want to paint Warhol with … somewhat understandable as the man refused to characterize himself directly. In my opinion, the value of Mr. Burns’ documentary is the wonderful archival footage included, Ms. Anderson’s fine narration, and some of the anecdotes of those interviewed (most revealingly, Irving Blum’s recollections, and most charmingly, Billy Name’s surprisingly coherent memories.) However, the tone of the documentary is quite dismal. You end up feeling like Warhol’s was a tragic life, when I feel that a fair assessment wouldn’t arrive at that characterization. Where is the joy? Why is the musical soundtrack so awful and in some cases inappropriate? Where are the other surviving acquaintances (e.g. Dallesandro?) Must Warhol always be blamed for the excesses of his followers? Must all charismatic people be held responsible for their groupies’ lack of self control? I don’t think so, but many persons besides Mr. Burns appear to hold Warhol accountable for the drug abuse and deaths of some of his 60s hangers-on. I’m not sorry I bought this DVD. I just wish it had been more well-balanced, and above all, wish that the art had been explored in depth more. Some of Warhol’s major phases are mentioned, described, but with the exception of early works, are not really explored with an eye to their significance in the art world and culture at large. Others are completely missing from the documentary. In any event, it’s worth seeing if you’re interested. Just don’t take this to be the be-all and end-all bible of all things Warhol. Perhaps it’s still just too soon for a proper assessment, but I’m STILL left feeling that the self-appointed stewards of Warhol’s “meaning” just don’t get it, at least not comprehensively enough.
