good roeg, bad fox lorber, Sep 29 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Two Deaths (Full Screen) (DVD)
Roeg fans will like this film. It doesn't have all of the bravura of a Eureka, while at the same time it does have the chamber elements of Insignificance. Note, however, that the Fox Lorber DVD is horrible: it's in the 1.33 aspect ratio, and looks like a poor tv video master -- blurry, smeared, jittery. So not only is it pan-and-scan, but it's a poor pan-and-scan!

1.0 out of 5 stars
warning - bad dvd, Oct 14 2002
This review is from: Two Deaths (Full Screen) (DVD)
The 1-star rating is for the DVD produced by Fox Lorber. I am always eager watch to a Nicolas Roeg film, who directed what is one of my favourite films - 'Walkabout'. All the more so when Michael Gambon, a brilliant actor, is in it. Unfortunately, I could not watch this DVD. The quality of the picture is bad beyond belief. Do not attempt to purchase this. How can people manufacture this? Have they no shame?

Excellent Actors and Acting, Feb 19 2002
By Violet Catland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Two Deaths (VHS Tape)
This is an excellent story set during the Romanian Revoluation of 1989. The actors are superb, Patrick Malahide (my favorite), Michael Gambon, Sonia Braga, Nicholas Grace. I was really captivated by the flashbacks, and by the dining table servings. I have watched it several times and will still continue to watch it. Thank you very much for an excellent movie.
