Ain't never heard of this 'un but it's now on the list!Available now from MDV Visual and director Samuel Tressler IV LEDA [1080p/3D/Dolby True HD 5.1]
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Leda-3D-Blu-ray/330582/#Review
Young newlywed Leda is haunted by strange visions in a hypnotic retelling of the Greek myth. A stunning and eerie journey into fantasy, Samuel Tressler IV's first feature transports the ancient myth of "Leda and the Swan" to the dark forests and deep lakes that surround a mid-19th century mansion. Stereoscopic imagery carries characters and the audience into a realm where dreams, nightmares and memories bleed together. Told without words and filmed almost exclusively in black-and-white, Leda invokes poetry and horror in it's fable of birth, death and other-worldly desires. Both 3D and 2D versions included on one Blu-ray disc.
You and I BOTH, Pete. But hey, it's 3D and for ME, A~OK! The reviews on AmazonUS are both 5 stars!
Did...did she have a goose?
NO, BUT SHE HAD A RAM ....my initials!
I was gonna say that posts like this should maybe be in an adults-only section of the qq forum, but then, let's be honest, the average age here is somewhere between "St. Petersburg, FL" and "the target demographic of Lexus."NO, BUT SHE HAD A RAM ....my initials!
Yeah, I love that article. It's such a nice tribute.
Really looking forward to this one!I watched Steven Spielberg's very personal THE FABLEMANS last night on Amazon Prime in 4K. It WAS an emotional experience as when I was a 'kid' all I ever wanted to do was MAKE MOVIE MAGIC! Where Spielberg's parents and even family were supportive of his efforts, mine were NOT insisting I take over the 'family business.....'
The acting from ALL the principles was supreme! 20 year old Canadian actor Gabriele LaBelle was especially effective as the young Spielberg and Michelle Williams and Paul Dano as his parents....equally superb! Those expecting an autobiography from the great director may be surprised to learn it mostly dealt with the blow young Spielberg experienced when he realized his mother was in love with his 'Uncle' Bennie played by Seth Rogen. For Sammy Fabelman [Spielberg's alter ago], it remained the mortal blow which remained throughout his early career.
And the only illusion to his future success in an almost impossible industry was his chance meeting with director John Ford played by film director David Lynch in a very memorable cameo role at the film's conclusion.
For me it was a very heartfelt production but I'm certain its lukewarm reaction at the box office was in deference to Sammy Fabelman's disappointment that his supportive and very loving parents couldn't support their own marriage during Spielberg's teenage years! And the anti~Semitism he experienced when the family was shifted to Northern California.
Nonetheless, as we all know, Steve Spielberg remains one of the most exceptional filmmakers of ALL time because angst truly supports the auteur's vision and ALWAYS HAS!
There are sometimes happy endings ... to SAD beginnings!
