DVD Reviews of Death Of Poe (2-DVD + Bonus CD)
DVD Review: Edgar Allan documentary is kinda Poe
Summary: 4 Stars
The extras provided on THE DEATH OF POE (from ALPHA NEW CINEMA) outshine this 2006 "concept" documentary.
On disc #1, Mark Redfield (an excellent EAP lookalike) doesn't so much explore events surrounding the famous author's demise as attempt to represent visually the dementia and any thoughts that may have been going through his mind during those last days. It's a daring concept that grabs the viewer's attention at first, but ultimately this contrivance and some major assumptions simply don't hold up well.
Disc #2 fares better. D.W. Griffith's "The Avenging Conscious" and "The Raven" were both created over 90 years ago. Each has something to recommend it. "Avenging Conscience" is based on the poem "Annabel Lee." "The Raven" includes an optional commentary track. An added feature is the audio disc of Poe writings, as delivered by the creator of "The Death of Poe."
For a more traditional documentary on EAP, try THE MYSTERY OF EDGAR ALLAN POE, from A&E's Biography series.
Parenthetical numbers preceding titles are 1 to 10 viewer poll ratings found at a film resource website.
