    Shocking and highly controversial at the time of release, The Snake Pit broke new ground in Hollywood cinema for its depiction of mental illness and its treatment. Olivia de Havilland (Gone with the Wind; The Heiress), delivers an astounding performance as a young bride who suffers a breakdown and finds herself committed to an asylum. Director Anatole Litvak (Sorry, Wrong Number; Anastasia) had to fight to persuade producer Darryl Zanuck to back the film, but the result remains one of the most potent and powerful films to tackle the subject and was an influence on later works such as Sam Fuller's Shock Corridor (1963), Robert Rossen's Lilith (1964) and MiloÅ¡ Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).

  • Sunshine [2000]Sunshine | DVD | (10/04/2013) from £19.39   |  Saving you £0.60 (3.09%)   |  RRP £19.99

    This sprawling family saga follows a Hungarian-Jewish family across three generations, and stars Ralph Fiennes as the father, the son, and the grandson in three distinctly different roles. As a Europudding vehicle for Fiennes and a top-drawer cast (including Jennifer Ehle, Rachel Weisz, Deborah Unger, Miriam Margolyes and William Hurt), Sunshine delivers on all fronts: there's glossy melodrama, high-moral seriousness as history wears the family down like the wind, and leitmotifs--the family elixir called "Sunshine" that founds their fortune, semi-incestuous adulterous liaisons, photographs and faces--that thread the epic three-hour narrative together. Fiennes begins as a stiff Budapest lawyer-cum-officer and judge during the First World War, torn when anti-Semitism raises its head. His son is a champion fencer who denounces the family faith to attain advancement but ends up in the Nazi-run labour camps all the same. The last in the line, a policeman this time, must navigate the Stalinist forces of repression and endures through the 1956 uprising to take back the family name and faith. And yet as a film by director István Szabó (Colonel Redl, Mephisto), it's a bit of a soggy disappointment lacking the bile and spit and visual inventiveness that makes the best of his other works so outstanding. Perhaps the fact that Szabó is directing an all-English speaking cast is the problem, leaving the film feeling strangely old-fashioned and paradoxically lacking a sense of place (despite much of it being filmed in Hungary itself). Although there are some charged emotional beats throughout, pretty costumes, and lots of entertainingly tasteful bonking sequences, the fencing sequences in particular become tooth-pullingly tedious and the whole thing seems to drag, especially as it takes itself so seriously. --Leslie Felperin

  • Under Suspicion [DVD]Under Suspicion | DVD | (29/08/2011) from £4.99   |  Saving you £8.00 (160.32%)   |  RRP £12.99

    Liam Neeson's battered gloomy features make him a natural for film noir, and the 1991 Under Suspicion makes exemplary use of him as Tony Aaron, a private eye headed for the death cell. Part of the film's strength is its 1959 setting--this is a past where people are hanged, where homosexuality is a crime and where people fake adulteries to get divorces. One such faked adultery leads to the death of Aaron's wife and their client. His own chequered past--he was thrown off the force for getting a colleague killed--means that most of the local police want him to be guilty. Only his best friend (Kenneth Cranham) even begins to be prepared to believe in his innocence and the possible guilt of the client's mistress, Angeline (Laura San Giacomo). Where Under Suspicion is content to recreate the seedy Brighton of the 1950s, and lives trapped by an unthinking puritanism, it is excellent. Unfortunately, much of this emotional power is dissipated by an over-elaborate plot in which artists' signatures, interlocking scams and extortions play a large part. --Roz Kaveney

    Master filmmaker Satyajit Ray (The Apu Trilogy) explores the conflict between fanaticism and free will in Devi (The Goddess), issuing a subversively modern challenge to religious orthodoxy and patriarchal power structures. In the waning days of mid-nineteenth-century India's feudal system, after his son (Apur Sansar's Soumitra Chatterjee) leaves for Kolkata to complete his studies, a wealthy rural landowner (The Music Room's Chhabi Biswas) is seized by the notion that his beloved daughter-in-law (The Hero's hauntingly sad-eyed Sharmila Tagore) is the reincarnation of the goddess Kalia delusion that proves devastating to the young woman and those around her. The opulently stylized compositions and the chiaroscuro lighting by cinematographer Subrata Mitra (Charulata) heighten the entrancing expressionistic intensity of this domestic tragedy, making for an experience that is both sublime and shattering. Bonus Features 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Interviews with actors Sharmila Tagore and Soumitra Chatterjee, recorded in 2013 Video essay by film scholar Meheli Sen English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by film critic Devika Girish
