The documentary, basically a television plug for the coming release of the film, combines clips from the film, on-set footage and interviews with the cast and crew to form a quick overview of ‘Brazil’ and to hopefully entice...

One hour of deleted scenes from David Lynch’s...
David Lynch’s Blue Velvet is in my top ten favorite films of all time. I remember vividly the first time I saw it on opening day, September 19, 1986, in New York City.

Orson Welles’ last finished movie (besides Filming Othello) doesn’t look like much going in. But once it starts, you know you’re in the master’s hands once again. Welles, here in his sixties, reveals two new sides to his cinema audience, the prankster and the editor. The film gives credit to two other editors, but it was edited by Welles himself. The film is about...
