DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t Look Now<\/a><\/strong> (Optimum Releasing): Nic Roeg’s classic 1973 film\u00a0about a grieving couple (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) who relocate to Venice after a family tragedy, is re-released with\u00a0wonderful transfer and some interesting new extras.\u00a0A work of startling power and originality,\u00a0it rewards repeated viewings, which reveal remarkable depths to Roeg\u2019s technique and storytelling style.

Born on the Fourth of July<\/a><\/strong> (Universal): Oliver Stone’s second film to deal with the Vietnam War is the powerful story of Ron Kovic (Tom Cruise), an idealistic solider paralysed in combat, who then has to deal with the mental and physical scars of the conflict. Filled with compelling performances, especially Cruise in the lead role, it won Stone his second Oscar for Best Director and has gained a new relevance in the light of America’s recent wars.

The Kingdom<\/a><\/strong> (Second Sight Films): Lars Von Trier’s\u00a0acclaimed 90s television mini-series is set in a Copenhagen hospital nicknamed ‘Riget’ (which loosely translated means ‘the kingdom’). The show follows a number of odd characters as they encounter strange things and revels in its oddness, wry humour and low-fi production values.\u00a0This box set also includes the second series from 1997, which contains four episodes previously unavailable in the UK.
