"Actor: Ivan"

• Like Water For Chocolate | Blu Ray | (02/03/2015) from £17.98   |  Saving you £4.00 (25.02%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes Babette's Feast and Big Night. Director Alfonso Arau (A Walk in the Clouds), adapting a novel by his former wife, Laura Esquivel, tells the story of a young woman (Lumi Cavazos) who learns to suppress her passions under the eye of a stern mother, but channels them into her cooking. The result is a steady stream of cuisine so delicious as to be an almost erotic experience for those lucky enough to have a bite. The film's quotient of magic realism feels a little stock, but the story line is good and Arau's affinity for the sensuality of food (and of nature) is sublime. You might want to rush off to a good Mexican restaurant afterward, but that's a good thing. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Fassbinder Collection Volume One (Lola/ Martha/ Why Does Herr R Run Amok?/ I Dont Just Want You To Love Me) | DVD | (22/10/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £40.99

  One of the most acclaimed and controversial post-war German filmmakers Rainer Werner Fassbinder created a prolific and extraordinarily influential body of work that revolutionised cinema. Lola: Conceived as a homage to Josef Von Sternberg's 'The Blue Angel' 'Lola' is a biting satire of capitalist greed starring Barbara Sukowa as the eponymous cabaret singer and call girl. Why Does Herr R Run Amok?: Fassbinder's savage and provocative portrait of middle-class banality and alienation follows the monotonous daily routines of the mild-mannered Herr R. Until one evening he finds that he can take no more. Martha: Margit Carstensen stars as a young woman who finds herself slowly stripped of her freedom by her sadistic and tyrannical husband. Fassbinder's bold homage to Douglas Sirk's 1950s Technicolor melodramas finds him at his most wickedly perverse and stylistically assured. I Don't Just Want You To Love Me: Fassbinder's friends and closest colleagues remember him in this documentary profile which also includes interviews with Fassbinder himself and excerpts from his work.

Initially assuming that the kidnapping is politically motivated, the truth is far more horrific than they could possibly imagine. Now Carole’s only mission is to survive.

• The Opposite Of Sex | DVD | (01/10/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Christina Ricci had a great year in 1998. The young actress continued to cast off her youthful image from the Addams Family movies and made a big splash on the independent movie scene, especially in this scathingly witty comedy in which Ricci has the central role. Here she plays Dedee, a buxom, sexually precocious teenager who's pregnant, cynical, and looking for a volunteer father for her unborn child. This takes her to the home of her gay half-brother (Martin Donovan) whose current lover (Ivan Sergei) becomes Dedee's latest target for seduction. That's just the start of the mischief that Dedee so masterfully orchestrates, and Lisa Kudrow (from TV's Friends) is also on hand to deliver some of the movie's most quotable dialogue while fending off the affection of a local policeman played by Lyle Lovett. If all this sounds rather sordid, rest assured that the movie's got a warm heart (well, sort of) beating beneath all of its sharp-edged sarcasm. Writer-director Don Roos (Single White Female) injects most of the movie's appeal and humour through Dedee's voice-over narration, which constantly reminds us that even the most familiar movie clichés can be cleverly overturned. As a result, The Opposite of Sex is the opposite of boring. --Jeff Shannon
