"Actor: Shirley"

• Villa Des Roses | DVD | (27/01/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  English/Belgian/Dutch/Luxembourgian coproductions don't happen every day, making Villa des Roses of interest from the start. Director Frank van Passel focuses on the pain of remembering in this drama set at the turn of World War I, in which young French widow Louise comes to work as a chambermaid at a dilapidated English guest house. What could have been an offbeat human comedy soon becomes a conventional romantic tragedy, in which the heroine falls for rakish artist Richard Grünewald, with all the frustration and heartache their liaison promises. Julie Delpy is strong on wistful charm, while Shaun Dingwall gives a confident performance. Timothy West and Harriet Walter are characterful as the ill-matched proprietors, but the most memorable showing is that of Shirley Henderson as streetwise "cook general" Ella. The other guests are little more than a background presence, their narrative potential unused. This is stylish film-making, even if an overall feeling of Anna Karenina meets Upstairs Downstairs is hard to escape. On the DVD: Villa des Roses' widescreen format reproduces the film's faded elegance with commendable naturalness, though the sombre half-lights and Paul M van Brugge's moody score make Paris seem anything but "gay". The theatrical trailer is also included. --Richard Whitehouse

• Fort Apache | DVD | (19/02/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  John Ford's 1948 classic stars John Wayne as a cavalry officer used to doing things a certain way out West at Fort Apache. Along comes a rigid, new commanding officer (Henry Fonda) who insists that everything on his watch be done by the book, including dealings with local Indians. The results are mixed: greater discipline at the fort, but increased hostilities with the natives. Ford deliberately leaves judgements about the wisdom of these changes ambiguous, but he also allows plenty of room in this wonderful film for the fullness of life among the soldiers and their families--community rituals, new romances--to blossom. Fonda, in an unusual role for him, is stern and formal as the new man in charge; Wayne is heroic as the rebellious second; Victor McLaglen provides comic relief; and Ward Bond is a paragon of sturdy and sentimental masculinity. All of this is set against the magnificent, poetic topography of Monument Valley. This is easily one of the greatest of American films. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
