DVD Review: The Dead
Summary: 5 Stars
Lionsgate corrected the issue they had at first.. so everything out there now is the correct DVD and runtime. THis is a great film that they brought to DVD for the first time. DVD Review: The Dead: John Huston rolls over in his grave.
Summary: 1 Stars
What an insult to one of the greatest American directors. Who decided to cut eight minutes from this film? Why? What does the Huston family have to say about this. Don't buy this DVD!DVD Review: Cuts Make It Incoherent
Summary: 1 Stars
If you hadn't seen this film before you'd never figure out where Freddy Malins came from - was he dropped from a spaceship into the parlor after Aunt Julia sang? And you wouldn't know why Gabriel and Gretta go to a hotel after leaving the party - the whole antecedent discussion has been dropped (as well as Gretta's showing off of her galoshes). And on and on and on. What 24-year-old whiz-kid/idiot at Lionsgate decided he or she knew better than John Huston? Don't waste your money.DVD Review: horrible butchering of one of the greatest films ever made!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was SO UPSET when I saw this version I almost cried, and then almost shut it off. I waited years for it! I said, "I can never see this again," because my VHS tape was worn out. I NEVER give things bad reviews. I ran at once to Amazon to protest and found the good news they are re-releasing it. I know the script by heart. What an awful version!! The whole set up of who Gabriel is, the whole great entrance of Freddy Mullins and the scene with his mother and Greta's character setup, etc. etc. just...SNIPPED. I heard a rumbling of dear John Huston rising from his rest in wrath. But it will be restored!DVD Review: Beautiful film, ghastly DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
A huge wave of shock and disappointment when I discovered Lionsgate had someone managed to drop what feels like the entire second reel of the movie. I can live with the cheap packaging and zero extras just to have a crisp clean copy of this film, but this is beyond tolerance. A good many people are like me and have waited a long time for this wonderful picture to arrive on DVD. Wait a little longer before ordering, till Lionsgate fixes the problem...and they better.
Description of Dublineses (The Dead)
Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: The final film of legendary director John Huston was based on the closing story of James Joyce's Dubliners. Anjelica Huston is top-billed as Gretta Conroy, the niece by marriage of turn-of-century Irish spinsters Kate Morkan (Helena Carroll) and Julia Morkan (Cathleen Delany). At the home of these two curious ladies, Gretta is prodded into remembering her long-dead lover. She tearfully reveals to her husband (Donal McCann) that the deceased boy may well have died on her behalf. Her tale of woe bespeaks the sentiment shared by James Joyce: no matter how long in their graves, the dead will always influence the living. Adding to the film's elegiac quality, it stars Huston's daughter Anjelica and was co-written with his son Tony Huston.SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Oscar Academy Awards,
