Product Description

CHRONICLE OF ANNA MAGDELENA BACH, which covers the years of Bach s life from his marriage to Anna Magdalena to his death in 1748, is at once a love story, a documentary, a socio-political statement, and a film of the music of Bach. SCILIIA! Based on Elio Vittorini s seminal 1938-1939 anti-fascist novel Conversations in Sicily, banned by the Fascists in 1942, Sicilia! is a four part film which follows Silvestro, an emigrant who is returning home after fifteen years spent in America. His conversations, with his mother, on the train, or on the price of oranges, as well as the recurrent shot of arid landscape outside the train window, supply some of the most intense and memorable moments in contemporary cinema. UN VISITE AU LOUVRE. As the camera shows us some of the masterpieces held in the Louvre, Julie Kotaï speaks the comments made about the paintings by Cézanne which were put into writing by the poet Joachim Gasquet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad copies? 19 Oct 2011
Format:DVD
In reference to the review refering to the bad copies I felt I must say that the film about J S Bach is a very good copy visually - there appears to be some slight speed variation and some distortion on the soundtrack but this is perhaps not surprising considering the age of the film.
I have now watched the two other films and they are very good copies - the previous reviewer appears to have an ulterior motive for claiming that the copies are inferior - take no notice of this review - I will try to get it removed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 12 May 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This surprisingly disappointing DVD presents several very good films, and one very great film, by Straub and Huillet, two important filmmakers who almost never make it to home video. The DVD is made from indifferent masters featuring scratched prints and shows no signs of care for quality or accuracy of presentation by the distributor. It's not even worth renting. Perhaps some other distributor will put out a proper DVD of these films, but that will probably be a long wait. What a shame. These filmmakers deserved much better.
