• A Kiss Before Dying | DVD | (21/03/2016) from £4.99   |  Saving you £8.00 (160.32%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Matt Dillon (Crash) and Sean Young (Blade Runner) lead an all-star cast in James Dearden's visceral tale of lust and treachery. Dillion stars as Jonathan Corllis, a handsome, sinister student from Philadelphia. Hungry for money and status, Jonathan begins a secret relationship with Dorothy (Sean Young), the daughter of a wealthy business magnate (Max von Sydow The Exorcist, Shutter Island). Dorothy falls pregnant and confides in Jonathan, telling him that her father will likely cut off her inheritance when he finds out. In a blind rage, Jonathan murders Dorothy and masks her death as a suicide. The killer moves to New York City, and a twist of fate he meets with Dorothy's twin sister, Ellen. Driven by greed, Jonathan sets out to seduce her. When Ellen slowly begins to harbour suspicions about her sister's death, a string of killings unfolds an unthinkable truth. Also stars Golden Globe winner Diane Ladd (Alice).

  Plácido Domingo is no stranger to stadium events, though in the old days it was as a singer with his pals, Pavarotti and Carreras. In Spanish Night with baton in hand he has an appealingly avuncular manner, and he couldn't hope for a better class of orchestra than the Berlin Philharmonic, here playing in their annual open-air concert given at the city's Waldbühne. It's a real crowd-pleaser of a programme (and the audience's enthusiasm is immediately apparent and increasingly boisterous as the evening wears on). None of the works stretches the concentration unreasonably, and the views of Spain come not only from home-grown composers (Sarasate, Torroba, Serrano and Vives) but also as viewed through other eyes: Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio espagnole, Chabrier's España and Johann Strauss II's Spanish March. A pair of soloists increase the sequin quotient of the evening: the consummately poised violinist Sarah Chang (who has been round for so long it's difficult to believe she's still only 20) and the full-voiced soprano Ana María Martínez, winner of the Plácido Domingo Vocal Competition in Barcelona. Given the visual limitations of such events, the camerawork is imaginative without being distracting, and the sound, if a little boxy, is perfectly acceptable. Above all there's a great sense of fun to the occasion, and in the final number, Lincke's Berliner Lufte, Domingo is unable to resist seizing the microphone and leading the singing. On the DVD Sound options are either Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM stereo and the picture is formatted for 16:9 TVs. A variety of goodies have been added to the concert itself, including interviews with Domingo and Sarah Chang, footage of flamenco dancing in Berlin (which is vaguely relevant) and a behind-the-scenes documentary.--Harriet Smith
