  The Mayor Of Sunset Strip: (Dir. George Hickenlooper 2003) A wildly entertaining ride through rock-and-roll history as seen through the eyes of one supremely distinct figure Rodney Bingenheimer. Directed by acclaimed documentarian George Hickenlooper ('Hearts Of Darkness') the film examines the life of Los Angeles' Mayor of Sunset Strip. Coming of age in LA in the 1960s just as rock-and-roll was bursting onto the scene Bingenheimer was obsessed with all things musical. Though not a successful musician himself he nonetheless befriended rock's elite. In the 1970s he opened up his own club Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco which played host to luminaries such as David Bowie Iggy Pop and Marc Bolan. It was in 1976 however when Rodney found his true calling. On his weekly radio show on KROQ Bingenheimer introduced several of popular music's most celebrated voices to America - Blondie The Ramones The Sex Pistols The Smiths and Coldplay. The Devil And Daniel Johnston (Dir. Jeff Feuerzeig 2005): The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a stunning portrait of a musical and artistic genius who nearly slipped away. Director Jeff Feuerzeig exquisitely depicts a perfect example of brilliance and madness going hand in hand with subject Daniel Johnston. As an artist suffering from manic depression with delusions of grandeur Daniel Johnston's wild fluctuations numerous downward spirals and periodic respites are exposed in this deeply moving documentary. The Devil and Daniel Johnston artfully melds current footage vintage performances home movies and dozens of recorded audiotapes from Daniel's life. Testimony from supportive friends and a deeply committed family adds a rich layer to his personal history but it is Daniel's poetic songs interwoven through out the film that tell their own passionate haunting and truly unforgettable story. Now in his mid-40s Daniel Johnston has grown into a prolific visual artist. His expressions have earned him worldwide recognition and critical praise producing international exhibits where he continues to sell his vibrant and intimate sketches. He has recorded over ten full-length albums and his supporters have included Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain who was often seen wearing a Daniel Johnston t shirt Matt Groening The Butthole Suffers Sonic Youth noted Minutemen/FIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt David Bowie Tom Waits Beck The Flaming Lips and an ever-growing international cult audience.

Tracing the history of the band from its unlikely origins through its star-crossed career bitter demise and the sad fates of Joey and Dee Dee End of the Century is a vibrant candid document of one of the most influential groups in the history of rock.

• Cleopatra 2525 - Vol. 1 - Season 1 : Episodes 1-6 | DVD | (20/05/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  One interesting thing about Cleopatra 2525 is that it works far better on video or DVD than as a weekly television show, because the action in the tightly packed half-hour episodes is so fast and furious that you can miss crucial developments in the admittedly simple plots just by nipping into the kitchen to put the kettle on. Furthermore, despite appearances, the scripts do allow for character development, but this has to be delivered in snippets rather than dollops. Far better, then, to settle down with a large pizza and watch several episodes back to back. There's no shortage of humour in this camp post-apocalypse shoot-em-up-fest. Cleopatra is a dippy exotic dancer who suffers complications during surgery for a boob job! Placed in cryogenic suspension until such time as medical science can help her, she wakes up in the year 2525 to find a world seemingly dominated by plot ideas stolen from classic sci-fi movies such as The Terminator--humanity has been driven underground in a world ruled by machines, morphing androids are used as spies etc. etc. etc.--where she's "adopted" by a couple of firm-midriffed female resistance fighters who take their orders from a mysterious voice (called Voice). It's all great fun and the action and effects are excellent (especially the airborne robot thingies). --Roger Thomas

• Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) -- Zurich/Harnoncourt | DVD | (29/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt's approach to Le Nozze di Figaro is certainly historically informed, but both his musical direction and this Zurich Opera production as a whole lack a certain lightness of touch. In such a deliciously comic work it should be permissible to have fun. Harnoncourt's tempos seem rather too conservative; while the low stage lighting keeps the revolving sets shaded in half-shadow for much of the time. The result is a tad claustrophobic, both musically and visually. There are many compensations, however. Though Harnoncourt may be a little over-cautious, what's lost in joie de vivre is gained in clarity and nuance. Similarly, the singers have plenty of space to enunciate and cherish every rolling phrase. Although Carlos Chausson makes an appealing everyman character as Figaro, he and everyone else must perform (sometimes literally) in Rodney Gilfry's domineering shadow. Gilfry's Alamaviva is a swaggering counterpart to his Don Giovanni, with the same almost overwhelming sexual presence and charisma; no wonder, then, that Eva Mei's Countess is so jealous, or that Isabel Rey's Susanna seems genuinely attracted despite her better judgment. The ensemble cast are uniformly delightful and, unusually, are all good actors: when the Count and Countess squabble, Gilfry and Mei really work themselves into a fine passion. The set and costuming are both of indeterminate period: the Count carries a shotgun to shoot Liliana Nikiteanu's errant Cherubino, and there are deckchairs in the garden, but the ladies' costumes are cut to reveal authentically 18th-century heaving bosoms. In all, this is a Figaro distinguished by a strong cast and fine singing, but hampered a little by the staging. An airier alternative is the more traditional Glyndebourne production. On the DVD: Le Nozze di Figaro from Zurich is presented in three vivid sound options: LPCM Stereo, Dolby 5.1 or DTS 5.1. Picture is 16:9. The subtitling is occasionally unnecessarily repetitive (Figaro's "Piano, piano, piano" takes up a big chunk of the screen as: "Not so fast, not so fast, not so fast" and so on) and inadequately proofread ("Forgeive me...Falsce one" [sic]). --Mark Walker
