Unfortunately the Warners archive site does not send DVD to all the countries. Many european countries (including Greece) are not in their list, something which they confirmed when i e-mailed them. So i hope more such titles appear on Amazon. You may want to count yourself lucky. During April for a...

The Lost Horizon - 1973 1/10 Without a doubt the worst choreography i have ever seen in a film. A dreadful experience and i didn't even watch the whole film. How were Albert Finney, Liv Ullmann, John Gielgud and even Hussey and York convinced to be involved with such a trainwreck? Money no doubt. T...

More Wild Grass reviews. I'm getting a premonition that this may be the big winner. I don't think that Resnais has ever won the top prize at Cannes and this may be one of his last chances given his age.
