DVD PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n Let The Right One In<\/a><\/strong> (Momentum): Set during the 1980s, this rightly acclaimed horror is the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy named Oskar (K\u00e5re Hedebrant<\/a>) who develops a relationship with a vampire<\/a> (Lina Leandersson<\/a>). Directed by Tomas Alfredson<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, it is based on the novel<\/a> by John Ajvide Lindqvist<\/a> and has garnered widespread praise<\/a>, won awards<\/a> and become something of a cult hit over the last few months.<\/p>\n The cast is uniformly excellent and there are some striking visual images throughout, which makes it a refreshing change from the unimaginitive glut of remakes and horror porn that has been coming out of Hollywood in recent years.<\/p>\n The extras on DVD and Blu-ray include:<\/p>\n The DVD is presented in anamorphic widescreen with Swedish DD5.1 Surround audio and forced English subtitles (using the same translation as seen on the theatrical release).<\/p>\n * Listen to our interview with Tomas Alfredson about Let the Right One In<\/a> *<\/p>\n [ad]<\/p>\n Winstanley<\/a><\/strong> (BFI): This 1975 film about the 17th Century social reformer and writer Gerrard Winstanley<\/a> was directed by Kevin Brownlow<\/a> and Andrew Mollo<\/a>, based on the 1962 David Caute novel Comrade Jacob<\/a>.<\/p>\n Winstanley deals with some of the life story of, who, along with a small band of followers known as the Diggers<\/a> who tried to establish a self-sufficient farming community on common land at St. George’s Hill<\/a> near Cobham, Surrey<\/a>.<\/p>\n The political turmoil of the English Civil War<\/a> created a vacuum in which different religious and political conditions arose and this was a striking early form of Christian communism (centuries before Marx), although under the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell<\/a>, it was quickly suppressed.<\/p>\n The film is an interesting snapshot of who the Diggers were and the making of it was also intriguing. Essentially a low-budget project sponsored by the BFI<\/a> (which put up \u00a317,000) it looks authentic and took 8 years to finish, as the cast had day jobs and shooting had to be done over an extended period of time.<\/p>\n It is available on regular DVD or Blu-ray Disc, and the extra features include:<\/p>\n [ad]<\/p>\n ALSO OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n Flight of the Conchords – Season 2<\/a><\/strong> (HBO) > Browse more DVD Releases at Amazon UK<\/a> and Play<\/a> Including Let The Right One In and Winstanley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6239"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6239\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmdetail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
