"Howards End" Criterion DVD Stands Above Previous Release . The original DVD release of "Howards End" was the no-frills which probably was fine with everyone who has a tight-budget on DVD collection. However, after watching this version has totally changed my mind about Criterion DVD editions. Now, the picture is crisp and sharper compared to the grainy texture of the original transfer. The scene of Leonard Bast's stroll in the meadows of bluebells was so much more dream-like with the magnificent violet and green colors on the screen. Also, the music seems to surround all around you compared to the original release which seemed almost like watching on the TV with speakers in your face. You really have to appreciate that such a film gets the attention for being placed on Criterion release. Actually, this is released through HVE which is pretty much sister company of Criterion. Anyways, the film itself is probably the best production of the Merchant-Ivory team. Its beauty is in its storytelling of the Wilcox and Schlegel families with the best performace from Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins. The supporting cast is equally good with Helena Bonham-Carter and Vanessa Redgrave. You probably will get the most satisfication from viewing the second disc. It has several commentaries from James Ivory and Ishmail Merchant. Also, Helena Bonham-Carter tells her hardships with some scenes such as the row boat with the hidden roaring motor and also the rainy return home from a music recital with some trouble from the umbrella. It was also interesting to listen from the production team about the transformation of London into the Edwardian period with the scenes and clothing/fashion. Overall, this Criterion DVD edition is worth every penny if you are a fan of filmmaking. You definitely appreciate the efforts and dedication of Merchant and Ivory to fund and make such a film. I really can't regret this purchase since many times, films don't get the royal treatment of Criterion. Oscar-worthy movies are usually quickly released to the masses rather than being tailored for those with higher standards for the DVD viewing experience

I can't imagine... . ...I'm the only one who noticed that, besides the satire about managements, unions, and their relations, there is also one, although briefer nonetheless most interesting, about 'Justice', who decides that if one is guilty of honesty, it can only happen by reason of insanity, and, therefore must be committed. Leaving management going on with their cheating schemes, workers thinking that getting their paycheck is working hard enough, and unions' leaders going on encouraging sabotage, following USSR directions, absolutely blind to the fact that, if doing one tenth of the same stuff in USSR, they would have been -at best- sent to the siberian salt mines used as reeducation camps

Masterpiece . I am continually amazed at the huge variation in people's tastes. Someone can give a 1 star rating and the next a 5 star rating for the same film. I can be touched by a film so deeply and yet the person sitting next to me feels nothing. I guess it proves how different we all are. "The Sacrifice" touched me. I would rank it amongst the best 5 films I have ever seen. The film is mysteriuos, haunting, slow paced, impecably filmed and acted. So many images remain in my mind. The woman who breaks down and has to be pacified by a tranquilizer, the haunting music associated with the witch that permeates throughout the movie, the long take as the house is burned etc etc. This is a truly great masterpiece. What a shame Tarkovsky died so young
