TheMagic

Flute��

����

Cert: 12 (£15.99)

There was a lot of sniffing

about Kenneth Branagh’s

adaptation of Mozart’s

opera when it was

released in cinemas,

mostly on account of

Stephen Fry’s

translation of the

libretto. One wonders if

the critics had read the

original German, for this is a

marvellous telling of the story.

Perhaps the only cavil is that it is set in

the trenches of WWI – a rather grim

environment for what is, after all, a

fairytale. But a coherent narrative line

is taken throughout and

Branagh creates many

memorable images

through elaborate

sets, spectacular

swooping

camerawork and

fantasy sequences.

Great, clear

singing and

acting from a

splendid cast,

which includes

newcomer Amy

Carson as

Pamina and

old hand Réné

Pape as

Sarastro. And it would be hard to top

the Queen of the Night, Lyubov

Petrova, who makes her entrance on a

tank. Jonathan Lennie

ExtrasCastandcrew interviews.

LaNotte

����

��

Cert: 12 (£19.99)

Those stars, surely, go primarily to

Gianni di Venanzo’s superbly nuanced

black-and-white

camerawork,

meticulously

chronicling the

changing light and

moods of a day, a

night and a new

dawn in the life of

a disenchanted

bourgeois couple –

philandering

novelist Marcello Mastroianni and

bored wife Jeanne Moreau – as they

party and ponder the meaning of life

and their marriage. The second part of

Antonioni’s trilogy, it’s

considerably

clunkier in its clichés than

‘L’Avventura’ or ‘L’Eclisse’, despite

fine performances from the leads and

(inevitably) Monica Vitti and the

director’s eye for alienating

architecture and angles. That said, it’s

a typically attractive job from Eureka’s

Masters of Cinema label: lovely print,

and a booklet with a lengthy 1961

interview with the director and an

essay (undermined somewhat by

allusions to Abel Ferrara!) by Brad

Stevens. Geoff Andrew

ExtrasNone.

TheRound-up

����

��

Cert: 12 (£12.99)

Béla Tarr is a vocal fan of Hungarian

director Miklós Jansco, and it’s very

easy to see why. Made in 1965, this

dreamlike cautionary tale assumes the

backdrop of a secluded military prison

in 1869 where hoards of ragged

Hungarian freedom fighters are

rounded up, detained and, eventually,

politically assimilated by

occupying Austrian forces.

Jancsó chooses not to get

under the skin of individual

characters, but instead

views the masses from afar

via his sublimely

choreographed scenes (like

in his previous ‘The Red

and the White’) where he

paints the screen with

groups of people. If the

method of delivery is

sometimes a little

remote, the ideas about

the nature of power

and the precedents

of military rule are

as clear as mud.

Cert: 15 (£23.99)

The premise behind Boris Sagal’s 1971

zombie flick, ‘The Omega Man’, was

that most of the world’s population

had been wiped out due to biological

warfare. Francis Lawrence’s

entertaining, CGI-infested remake

sticks closer to Richard Matheson’s

source novel by linking the

apocalyptic scenario to a genetic

cancer cure that went horribly wrong.

It’s New York, 2012, and the city is

now mostly devoid of life bar a

few herds of deer and Will

Smith’s Robert Neville, a

lone, immune scientist

desperate to find an

antidote for the

scores of mutant,

rabid, nocturnal

zombie-like folk

who somehow didn’t

where it all gets a tad silly

and monsterish. But

How best to describe David Hoyle?

Queer performance artist? Stand-up

comic? Agent provocateur? He’s been

all these things and more. Some years

ago he made a name for himself as The

Divine David, even securing his own

show on Channel 4. Since then he’s

dropped the ‘Divine’ but is no less

audacious, tackling everything from

immigration to gay gym bunnies. As

Northern comedian cabaret terrorists

go, he’s in a class all of his own. Filmed

during last year’s highly acclaimed

season of shows at the Royal Vauxhall

America

Unchained

����

��

Cert: 15 (£19.99)

This filmfollows comedian Dave

Gorman’s sometimes funny,

sometimes bizarre, sometimes

touching odyssey across the States. In

a beaten-up, and increasingly

temperamental, 1970 Ford Torino he

attempts (and more or less achieves) to

travel from one coast to the other

avoiding all chain-service outlets of

any kind . It’sa quest to discover the

last vestiges of America as it used to

be, before it was eaten and

homogenised by the all-consuming

corporations. The whole tripappears

cursed from the get-go, and the many

unforeseen disasters that befall him

and the filmadd the humour, pain and

poignancy needed to push the

narrative forward. Beautifully shot

and edited, this roadtripfrom hell has

a deeply melancholic heart. It’s far

more than a filmabout the sad loss of

quaint Mom and Pop stores in

Buttfuck, Nowhereville, in the

good ol’ US of A – it’s really

about the loss of innocence,

individuality and

community the world over

caused by rampant

capitalism and

the grasping,

all-powerful

suffocating grip

of ‘The Man’.

TheBeatles:

Rare&Unseen

����

��

Cert: exempt (£9.99)

Don’t be taken in by the promises of

unseen home movies and the earliest

known live footage of The Beatles: this

is a low-budget music-channel filler

repackaged for the DVD market, reliant

on dead-end anecdotes and cameras

zooming slowly in on black-and-white

photos. Lined up to trudge through the

over-familiar story are some yellowing

inevitables (tour manager Sam Leach,

press officer Tony Barrow) and some

inexplicable randoms, including Phil

Collins, Tony Blair’s father-in-law and

ballroom dancer Len Goodman, who

pops up to compare the band to a ham

sandwich. Oh and, this being the

‘unauthorised’ account, you can forget

about actually hearing any of The

Beatles’ music. Footage from a recently

rediscovered 1975 interview with John

Lennon includes the revelation that the

band used to eat chicken on stage, but

unfortunately the DVD’s biggest sell,

the blurry stage

footage from 1962,

is largely obscured

by Steve Harley’s

floating head.

‘we’re going to feel the burn’ – a phrase

that 30 years ago sent over-enthusiastic

exercisers hobbling through the door of

the doctor’s surgery rather than leaping

across the threshold of super-fitness.

Not that there’s any risk involved in the

three graduated workouts here, just

that they seem slightly confused: Behl

doesn’t know whether to go for full-on

Indian exoticism or, indeference to her

regular LA clientele, a more

Americanised teaching style. Her

out of sequence with the music, though

you can turn it off once you’ve mastered

had an impressive energy and a little

film to a close. There’s a thoughtful side
