Product Description

Alice Neel (1900-1984), one of the great portrait painters of the 20th century, reinvented the genre by expressing the inner landscape of her subjects, who included luminaries such as Andy Warhol, Bella Abzug, and Allen Ginsberg as well as her neighbors in Spanish Harlem. Made by her grandson, Andrew Neel, this very personal film captures her struggles as a female artist, a single mother, and a painter who defied convention. With unlimited access to photos, video, art, and letters, Neel reveals a portrait of the artist consistent with the themes of intimacy, family, and survival that were so central to her work.

Alice Neel Documentary Review

I caught this at an early screening by the film department at the College of Santa Fe. Neel had a unique ability to capture the essence of a person. Unfortunately, she fell beneathe the radar of public notice in recent years. The film drags a bit, but is a "must see" for anyone who cares about art and the true (not just representational) portrait of another human being.

Product Description

Theater director Peter Brook, renowned for his innovative and controversial stage plays (Marat/Sade; The Mahabharata), interprets Hamlet in a gripping, stripped-down production that highlights the tragic heart of the play. In the title role, Adrian Lester heads a stellar cast of the world's best actors; the international flavor to the cast adds a modern touch to this most famous of Shakespeare's plays. The documentary BROOK BY BROOK accompanies THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET. Directed by Brook's son, Simon, this video portrait offers an intimate look of the theater legend as only someone close to him could produce. Brook reveals many insights into life and work, including his unique techniques with ac

Hamlet By Brook / Brook By Brook Review

This may be a very good example of a Peter Brook production, but I don't think it's a good interpretation of 'Hamlet'. Too much is cut, and while some sequences have been merely transplanted from their original places, they're too often replaced in contexts where they simply don't make sense.

More distressingly, all of Shakespeare's humor has been stripped from the performance. The changes of tone in the original provide texture and depth to the play; they're not 'inconsistencies'. At 134 minutes, it's good that the production is short, because a full three-plus hours of such unrelenting earnestness would have been rough sledding indeed.

This production is apparently famous as 'Peter Brook's "Hamlet"', which I suppose is appropriate because it's not quite Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'...

Traveling to battlefields and bawdyhouses, we'll lift the covers on the sexual practices of soldiers during the Civil War. How did Americans feel about birth control, abortion, premarital sex, and infidelity in the 1860s? Did pornography exist? Were soldiers ignorant about sexually transmitted diseases? We also explore the sexual practices of officers of both the Union and Confederate Armies and discuss the lurid tales of generals who used their rank for "special privileges".

History -- Sex in the Civil War Review

This is a highly entertaining documentary.It is both serious & comical at the same time. It covers a subject that not too many people think of when they think about the Civil War. I highly recommend it because it will keep your attention from beginning to end.

The Ghost Goes West Review

Of all the great European directors who came to Hollywood in the thirties and forties, Ren Clair may have enjoyed the most successful exile, directing the classics I MARRIED A WITCH and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. But, before traveling from Paris over the Atlantic to the New World, Clair enjoyed a brief sojourn in Great Britain, where he made this marvelous and unjustly neglected comedy.The plot is simple: a land rich/cash poor Scotsman sells the family castle to a rich American millionaire, who has the castle moved to the US stone by stone. The difficulty is that the castle is haunted, and the ghost moves with the castle to its new locale. We therefore get a ghost fantasy with a different twist: a ghost has to deal with culture shock.For me, three things make this film stand out. First, Robert Donat is marvelous as the ghost/impoverished seller. Had Donat lived later in the 20th century, he would have been far, far more successful as an actor, and infinitely more active. Donat suffered from nearly debilitating asthma condition that severely limited his screen appearances (as well as some serious stage fright, or, in this case, screen fright). This performance is one of his finest. Second, Eugene Pallette enjoys one of his greatest roles. Pallette is perhaps best known as Friar Tuck in the Errol Flynn THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, and almost as well known in THE LADY EVE and MY MAN GODFREY. He actually appeared in a vast number of films from the beginning of the silent era all the way to his death in 1946. Yet, his major roles were relatively few. I find his stern scowl, rotund physique, and softhearted core to be enchanting. The third reason the film succeeds is the deft and light-hearted direction of Ren� Clair. Partly because he suffered a sharp post-WW II decline, Clair is not as fondly remembered as he ought to be. He directed the two Hollywood classic I mentioned above, but was even better in the early 1930s, directing in France such masterpieces as SOUS LES TOITS DE PARIS and � NOUS LA LIBERTE, as well as one of my all time favorite films, the utterly delightful musical LE MILLION.
