Kino International

[Chris Knipp]

Dave Kehr has a new "Critic's Choice: New DVDs" column in the NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/movies/homevideo/04dvds.html) today (March 4, 2008) about a Kino International "German Expressionism Collection" DVD issue inlcuding

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Warning Shadows
Secrets of a Soul
The Hands of Orlac

and as usual has some very smart observations to make about the period, the style, and the films and their interrelationships.

I've seen Caligari many times and love it. Kehr doesn't recommend Warning Shadows. Secrets of a Soul and The Hands of Orlac are new to dvd and now on my netflix queue. Will report back.

Okay.

I wrote a capsule review of SECRETS OF SOUL (http://www.filmwurld.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=19791#post19791). The dvd includes 31 screens of text and photos detailing the film's production history.
