| Magic Marmalade 18th May 2015 | Thanks Graham. Very odd that it wasn't released here in UK at cinemas. I always wonder what's going on when such quality peice of work is so neglected like this.... like why did the dearly loved The Keep take so long to come to DVD, or why have the Rlling Stones Mono recordings not come to CD, or this not see the light of day for so long. Got to be contracts, and rights issues behind it all hasn't it? | |
| Graham7 18th May 2015 | Magic, I've edited your notes, it was released theatrically, but not in UK according to IMDb, which is what makes this tape extra rare I s'pose. I've added Cinema entry. | |
| Magic Marmalade 17th May 2015 | This is a Very rare video, for the reasons mentioned in notes... ...Very strange that it hasn't had any DVD or BLU-RAY release, or even more VHS re-issues, as it must rank among the very best work that each of Ben Kingsley, Charles Dance, And Helen Mirren have ever done! The story is truly Shakespearean, with a tragic love triangle played out between a Frustrated Pascali (Ben Kingsley) who is in love with Helen Mirren's ethereal Artist character, and acts as a kind of Mr Fix it and guide for her and other colonists, until his world is rocked by the arrival of the dashing Charles Dance character, who urges Kingsley to help him with his archaeological excavations on the island, while Mirren's character falls in love with Dance. Pascali is squashed between his love for Mirren, his desire to help Dance (while his jealousy grows) and the pressure of the crumbling Ottoman Authorities bearing on him to act on their behalf. More than a whiff of Othello about this, and is absolutely brilliant in my view. Why no DVD? | |
