Drei sehr interessante DVDs gibt's von Criterion im November 2006:

Synopsis

Elegantly balancing suspense and farce, this tale of the fraught relationship between a boy and the beloved butler he suspects of murder is a delightfully macabre thriller of the first order and a visually and verbally dazzling knockout. |

#358: "Die Büchse der Pandora / Pandora's Box [DVD-Titel]" [D 1929, Georg Wilhelm Pabst]
Synopsis
| Zitat: | | One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst's lurid, controversial melodrama Pandora's Box. Sensationally modern, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with. Daring and stylish, Pandora's Box is one of silent cinema's great masterworks and a testament to Brooks's dazzling individuality. |

#359: "Die zwei Leben der Veronika / La double vie de Véronique / The Double Life pf Véronique [DVD-Titel]" [Krzysztof Kieslowski]
Synopsis
| Zitat: | | Krzysztof Kieslowski's international breakthrough remains one of his most beloved films, a ravishing, mysterious rumination on identity, love, and human intuition. Irene Jacob is incandescent as both Weronika, a Polish choir soprano, and her double, Veronique, a French music teacher. Though unknown to each other, the two women share an enigmatic, purely emotional bond, which Kieslowski details in gorgeous reflections, colors, and movements. Aided by Slawomir Idziak's shimmering cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner's haunting, operatic score, Kieslowski creates one of cinema's most purely metaphysical works: The Double Life of Veronique is an unforgettable symphony of feeling. |

Hi,
"Die Büchse der Pandora" ist lange erwarte und erhofft. Fallen Idol kenne ich nur in der deutschen Fassung wo mich die schauspielerische Leistung des Jungen eher genervt hat...wirkt das im original ähnlich schrill, überzogen und nervig?
Grüsse,
Dennis
