• The Madness Of King George | DVD | (28/01/2002) from £12.95   |  Saving you £-2.96 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  More wit than wisdom? More style than substance? Both these charges have been levelled at The Madness of King George, but neither are entirely fair. It could be that the notional subject matter--the psychological collapse of George III, later attributed to the neurological disease porphyria--implies a profound, analytical approach of the kind associated with Oliver Sachs. However, as the screenplay was written by Alan Bennett, based upon his stage play The Madness of George III, what we have here is a typically shrewd, elegant and poignant depiction of how the world seems when viewed by someone who sees things in their own unique way. And as it is by Bennett, who allows himself a brief, bumbling cameo appearance, the dialogue is of course scalpel-sharp throughout and often extremely moving.The historical accuracy is strong on detail, but there's an element of artistic license, such as the depiction of HRH's apparent partial recovery at the close of the film (although the scene itself, in which Hawthorne's befuddled monarch rallies himself to address his subjects, is a joy). In the end, though, we really don't mind.On the DVD: the widescreen DVD extras include the theatrical trailer, a featurette and a lucid commentary by director Nicholas Hytner. --Roger Thomas

• ROMA (Masters of Cinema) (Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (24/02/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  One of the maestro Federico Fellini's greatest '70s works (between Satyricon and The Clowns and Amarcord) Roma [Rome] erupts volcanically as a state-of-the-world pronouncement on what was not only happening within Rome at the tide of the hippies' organic birth and the post-Boom-set that made up his characters of the 1960s films but also where and how his city would move feverishly forward into one of potential futures. As Fellini himself travels with his crew to document the ring-road circling Rome with all the natural diversions that might inherently divert a traditional film shoot we move into episodes that chart the wartime difficulties of Roman life across those fleeting times that chronicle love and life within the modern-day Rome-time themselves pitted against the archaeological vestiges of the great city - and the Catholic church rears its dominance and we come into a midpoint that positions itself indeed between the memory-cinema of Satyricon and Amarcord. One of the great and bountiful colour-spectacles of Fellini's cinema almost leapt off toward from the moment of Giulietta of the Spirits Fellini's Roma remains a passionate testament both to the city that finally claimed him as its son after he left small Rimini and to the final stage of cinema that he himself would work till the day he died. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fellini's Roma in a Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK.

• Equus | DVD | (04/08/2003) from £49.99   |  Saving you £-37.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  A film adaptation of the play by Peter Shaffer, Equus stars Richard Burton as Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist who takes on an unusual case: a young stable boy (Peter Firth) who, in frenzy, has blinded six horses. Their sessions reveal that the boy has a quasi-religious fetish for horses and he rides them in the dead of night, experiencing an ecstasy unlike anything Dysart has ever known. Dysart begins to question: Is the pursuit of normalcy worth the loss of individual passions? Equus features a lot of hokum--its therapy scenes are absurd crescendos of revelation and insights--but its central question has substance, the direction is energetic, and the performances are powerful; Burton, handsome and haggard, brings a complex self-loathing to his role. It also features Jenny Agutter and Joan Plowright. --Bret Fetzer
