Arrancame La Vida (Tear This Heart Out) [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America]

by Roberto Sneider

SINOPSIS: Arráncame la Vida En un mundo de política, corrupción, adulterio y asesinato, se desarrolla Arráncame la Vida, una película basada en la exitosa novela de Ángeles Mastretta, que retrata la historia de una mujer que se atrevió a romper los esquemas de su tiempo. Catalina es una mujer poblana en los años treinta que encuentra en Andrés Ascencio, un hombre simpático y poderoso, una vía para salir de su pequeño mundo y vivir grandes experiencias. Pronto descubre que al haber ligado su vida a la de Andrés, está perdiendo su libertad, aunque en todo momento es seductor, generoso y protector. Pero liberarse de ese hombre tan poderoso, en el México de 1930, es poco menos que imposible. Catalina empieza a vivir como mujer cuando en el Palacio de Bellas Artes conoce al director de orquesta Carlos Vives, un joven que es la antítesis de Andrés, idealista e intenso y con quien Catalina redescubre el verdadero significado del amor. Con las extraordinarias actuaciones de Daniel Giménez Cacho, Ana Claudia Talancón y José María de Tavira, Arráncame la Vida es una película que te atrapará.

Andrzej Zulawski's L'Amour Braque (Limpet Love, 1985) UNCUT Special Edition [Digipak] by MONDO VISION

from Mondo Vision

ANDRZEJ ZULAWSKI'S L'Amour Braque (Limpet Love) is the story of a hideously bloody vendetta, of bonds of friendship between two men from opposite backgrounds and of love within an eternal triangle. Intended as homage to Dostoyevsky and loosely based on his novel 'The Idiot', L'Amour Braque is a mad love-triangle: Léon (The Prince Of Idiots), Marie (The Virgin Whore), and Mickey (The Immoral Gangster). Zulawski's postmodern existentialist adaptation is presented with an intense sense of visual style suggestive of the hyper-realistic and chaotic world of Bande-Dessinée. Abundant with images that persist and last in memory, from start to finish the screen is filled with outbursts of energy and eruptions of emotional violence where "notions of 'performance as madness' are choreographed into a perverse, bloody ballet." L'Amour Braque displays craftwork of originality and imagination in which "moments of brilliance happen under the watchful eye of a knowing master."

TECHNICAL NOTES:
L'Amour Braque is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 and original Mono French soundtrack as intended by Andrzej Zulawski. This Dual Layer disc has been transferred and encoded using a high-frequency process which preserves as much of the detail and texture from the original film as is possible on the NTSC DVD format.

Note Regarding English Subtitles: (Optional) Available in White & Yellow
The dialogue of L'Amour Braque presents a number of challenges for the translator. Roda-Gil s dialogue abounds with rhymes and puns, not to mention a plethora of (mainly French) cultural and political references, often specific to the 1980s. Director Andrzej Zulawski prepared the subtitles for this DVD release in collaboration with Daniel Bird. It was decided quickly that a technically precise translation of the original French into English would lose the playful, anarchistic character of Roda-Gil's dialogue. The title L'Amour Braque has usually been translated into English as 'Mad Love' which is usually how 'L'Amour Fou' has been translated into English. 'Crazy Love', offers a closer fit, but it sounds banal in English in a way in which braque in French does not. Here, Zulawski has opted for the title Limpet Love . The character of 'Marie' has been changed to 'Mary' , so as to retain the Christian aspect of the character's name. For rhymes in French, equivalents in English have been sought. Therefore, a looser approach has been adopted, which strives to offer something of the flavor of the original.

Too Bad She's Bad

by Alessandro Blaseetti from Ivy Video

A blonde Sophia Loren, an unknown Marcello Mastroianni and a comic turn by BICYLCE THIEF director Vittorio de Sica are the active ingredients in the Italian treat, TOO BAD SHE'S BAD.

"SHE" of course is the Italian "anatomic bomb" Loren, stealing hearts as a lusciously larcenous petty thief. Mastroianni is the naïve young cabbie who tries to set her straight, while de Sica, as Loren's smooth con man papa makes sure his not so little girl stays on the crooked and narrow.

Already the "Number 1 Cover Girl of Europe," "New York Times" critic Bosley Crowther wrote of her attributes: "One striking point is the luxurious Sophia Loren, who is something to look at from any angle or any side . . . she displays such a full and shapely figure she makes it a pleasure to consider being robbed."

Artfully directed by Alessandro Blasetti, TOO BAD SHE'S BAD is a delightful romp , the first pairing of Lorena & masrotinana not too mention the historic first appearance together of these three legends of Italian cinema.
