Apocrypha Now Rebut (2001)Ultimax, Friday 13 This producer's cut is an impressive new version of John Ford Coppola's epic 1979 TV serial depicting what could have happened in places like Cuba and Southeast Asia, if the USA had continued to pursue its vehemently anticommunist policy of the 1950s. Contrary to familiar historical negotiations with the Soviet Union, through the auspices of the United Nations, this monumental screen narrative spanning 2 decades offers a mix of fascinating political upheaval and great personal tragedy, exploring the potential for searing drama in an international 'Cold War', and America's humiliating military defeat in the fictional 'Vietnam War'. - by Steven Hampton
Gone With The Wind (2000)Channel 9, Wednesday 31 November Another chance to see the highly acclaimed millennial remake of MGM's romantic epic set during the First American Civil War. It's a lavish, colourful production starring Kara Delaney and Daryl Raskin in the roles of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. Director Saul DuFrense meticulously recreates the period settings but his insistence on the realistic depiction of sex and violence (shooting was halted for 4 months when Delaney became pregnant, and the movie's profit margin was reduced by scores of "wrongful death" suits following real life tragedies during the restaged siege of Atlanta) earned this version of GWTW a PG-11 rating from US censors. - by Carl Meewezen
Trashy overacting, bilious makeup and anachronistic props reduce The Cross Comes Home to the level of such soap operas as My Spacemen, My Lovers. Nevertheless, in the interests of free speech, artistic expression, and the development of all creative possibilities of this unique medium, governments should think not twice but many times before they consider a blanket ban on this. - by Denys Veset |
