Icarus Films Tabs Aug. 24 For The Domestic DVD Debut Of Documentary Filmmaker Jill Li's Lost Course

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Icarus Films will be joining forces with dGenerate Films on Aug. 24 for the DVD debut of documentary filmmaker Jill Li’s Lost Course.

When all is lost and there is no hope, you fight back.   That’s exactly what the villagers of the fishing community of Wukan did in 2011 when corrupt “officials” sized their land and sold it off to their friends.  This was their livelihood, their future, their children’s future, so they did the unthinkable — the imaginable in Communist China — they took to the streets and protested. 

It became an international incident and Jill Li was there to capture it all.  

Her film is broken into two feature-length segments.   The first is titled “Protests,” which gives the viewer the background of the events as they unfolded and shows how the villagers were able to organized — against all odds — and fight back.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

After doing the unthinkable, Li takes the viewer into the second segment, which is titled “After Protests.”  This part highlights a bittersweet end to the events at Wukan as winners and losers are sorted out … and things seem to drift back to “normal.”   Imagine a large rock tossed into a pond, the splash, the ripples and then in time, the pond is placid once again.    

Stunning, intimate and thoughtful, director Jill Li’s Lost Course is a peek between the curtain into what drives party officials in China … what gets their attention and what happens with politics at the local level.

Lost Course is presented in Mandarin with English subtitles.

Mill Creek Entertainment Readies Girls Night In Double Feature For A Blu-ray Release On Sept. 21 • Meet Joe Black and Wimbledon

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Mill Creek Entertainment announced its first post-Labor Day Blu-ray product offering this past week and once again it is a price-to-own double-feature hit.

Arriving on Sept. 21 is Girls Night In Double Feature, which kicks off the festivities for the evening with director Martin Brest’s 1998 romantic fantasy story, Meet Joe Black, starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins and Claire Forlani.

Susan Parrish (Forlani) is from wealth and privilege, but she has chosen a career in medicine as opposed to following in her father Bill’s footsteps (Hopkins), but she has reached something of an emotional crossroads.   One evening she meets a young man at the local coffee shop (Brad Pitt), she doesn’t catch his name, but they seem to hit it off … her father had foreshadowed this in saying that she might find true-love quite unexpectedly.

Little does Susan know, but moments after leaving the young man, he is involved in possibly a fatal auto accident.   Meanwhile, her father is beginning to have “issues,” possibly related to the pending merger of his company … possibly from the stress of turning 65.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Death, the personification of Death, visits Bill and strikes a bargain with him.  He, Death, would like to learn more about the human condition and asks Bill to be his guide and mentor … in exchange for a brief extension.   He, Death, takes the human form of the young man that Susan had met at the coffee shop.

Meet Joe Black is whimsical, a bit sad and yet a love story.   The bittersweet ending was, as they say, inevitable.

The other feature film on this Blu-ray double-bill is director Richard Loncraine’s 2004 film release of Wimbledon, teaming Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst as professional tennis players, who see their careers going in different directions.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Peter (Bettany) has had it all, from wealth, gifted athletically and soon found himself coasting all the way to number 11 in the international tennis rankings.   It has all been too easy.   Now, past his “prime” (early 30s), Peter has seen his ranking plummet all the way to 119 … he could soon be off the tour to make room for younger, better players; players with more heart.

By luck he gets a draw to the Wimbledon Tournament, but he knows that all of his wealth and past history won’t mean a thing once he steps on the court with his current mind-set.   He’s already lost.

By chance he meets an American rising star, Lizzie Bradbury (Dunst), they immediately hit it off … he falls in love with her.   Suddenly his game improves as he has found something to fight for, but there are forces at work that want this young love ended; ended now.

The third act of Wimbledon is an absolute nail-biter … and more importantly, will Lizzie and Peter find true love!!
