DVD & TV Reviews

The Idiots – Lars Von Trier – 1998

This film centres on a group of people who, for various reasons, go around pretending to be mentally and/or physically disabled. Angry? I was, but it does raise questions about film making in general and whether such difficult and contentious issues should be used. more>>>

Bangkok Dangerous – Danny and Oxide Pang - 2002

Bangkok Dangerous is typical of the Eastern cinema ‘gangster’ genre; however, the reason for reviewing this film is because ‘Kong’ the main character is portrayed as being deaf and mute. more>>

Dans Ma Peau (In My Skin) – Marina De Van – 2004

This film tackles the notoriously taboo subject of self harm. The film is shocking and disturbing but intelligently manages to explore the subject in a non gratuitous or exploitive way. more>>>

Accion Mutante – Alex De Iglesia - 1993

The DVD front cover is a large red and black motif featuring a red star with the universal wheelchair symbol albeit with a new twist of a gun included. Interesting, I thought so. This film is totally non PC, it includes some traces of wacky humour as well as some excessive violence. more>>>

Sue Thomas FBEye

‘Sue Thomas FBEye’ features a deaf woman with a Hearing Dog working for the FBI. I had to watch this as I’m deaf and assisted by a Hearing Dog too. The series is loosely based on the life of real-life FBI Agent Sue Thomas. The actress playing Sue is called ‘Deanne Bray’ who for a change in TV or film is actually deaf. The main theme read more>>>

In the Land of the Deaf (Le Pays des Sourdes)

Nicolas Philibert - 1992

The film looks at the language of sign and features deaf people in their environment but not looking in from the outside but from within. Fabulous film a must for all who seek greater understanding of the deaf world.
