1.I Don't Want to Talk About It (VHS) starring: Marcello Mastroianni, Luisina Brando, Alejandra Podesta, Betiana Blum, Roberto Carnaghi directed by: María Luisa Bemberg February 13, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.57
This is a delightful film by Argentine director Maria Luisa Bemberg (who directed her first film at age 56! - an inspiration to us all). The movie takes place in a small Argentine town by the name of San Jose de los Altares, some time in the 1930s. Like most small towns, it is a place filled with hypocrisy and gossip. When the movie opens, the camera catches the town priest without his pants (literally) in bed with his mistress, and we soon discover that the brothel is the place to go if you're looking for the mayor or other important town figures. Despite their peccadilloes, the town folk strive to keep up appearances. It is in this environment that Leonor attempts to "hide" the undeniable reality that her daughter is a dwarf. Leonor insists that it never be mentioned and attempts to ... Read More

2.The Plague starring: William Hurt, Sandrine Bonnaire, Jean-Marc Barr, Robert Duvall, Raul Julia directed by: Luis Puenzo October 19, 1994

No adaptation of any great novel will be as good as the book, and there will be big changes, for a variety of reasons, BUT... This movie, first of all, should not be compared to the book. Watch it as if Camus had never written his story. (But definitely read the book too) Hurt does a great job and Raul Julia is terrifying. The way the priest dies is an interesting departure from the book (he descends into hades!). The death of the poor choir boy in the movie is terribly moving and heart-wrenching (and brings to mind Ivan Karamazov's anger at an unjust God). I was happy to find this-- I always knew this book would make an interesting film adaptation.

The remarkable artistry in character development has been robbed from viewers of this movie by what is absolutely the worst DVD quality I have ever seen. It looks as though it has been created from a poor VHS copy, with the line structure actually encoded onto the DVD. Whatever I write will not prepare you for the visual horror that awaits the hapless buyer.
