1.0 out of 5 stars Ok film, terrible DVD, 12 Jan 2007
By Mr. P. S. Bond (Merseyside, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Orson Welles - Mr Arkadin (1954) [DVD] [2004] (DVD)
This is truly THE worst quality DVD you will ever be unfortunate to come across.

The picture and sound are as a bad as the ancient, unrestored, VHS copy the print of the film is clearly taken from. Throughout the film the logo of the manufacturer (Delta Music PLC) consistently appears on screen, the only reason i can think why would be to inform the viewer where they should attempt to claim their refund from.

If you want to see this film (which is ok but feels somehwhat incomplete) get the region 1 Criterion release, also available on here. It may cost more, but unlike this it won't be a complete waste of your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Criterion Edition, 27 May 2008
This is an excellent film and an excellent Dvd. You get three versions of the film on three discs, and some really good extras.

It comes in a fat digipak fold-out style case that fits into an outer slipcase. It's accopanied by a book about the film that also fits into the slipcase.

The extras are impressive. You get;
All three versions of the film: Corinth version, Confidential Report, and the new comprehensive version, are newly restored.
There is a commentary.
An interview with Welles biographer.
Three half-hour episodes of THE LIVES OF HARRY LIME.
A documentary.
Outtakes, rushes and alternate scenes from the film.

This is an excellent Dvd for Orson Welles fans. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Welles revisits Kane in occassionally dazzling fashion, 23 May 2001
This review is from: Mr Arkadin [VHS] [1955] (VHS Tape)
Although not regarded as one of his finer films, this has much to delight the Welles aficionado.Peopled with bizarre characters over a shifting array of countries and landscapes, this is essentially a deconstruction of Citizen Kane. Welles plays Gregory Arkadin, an all powerful tycoon who pays to have his past unearthed in order to elimate those who remember his origins. This is easy to read as autobiographical - Welles wishing to wipe out the memory of Kane so that he may step out of the shadow of his past. Seen as such, this is a highly intriguing film. Although shot on a restrictive budget and cut against his wishes, Confidential Report is filled with dense, literate set pieces and remains a must see for those enamoured of the great man.
