This week's top DVD recommendations include an indie satire ("Thumbsucker"), a cult classic ("Repo Man"), and a dose of Ingmar Bergman ("The Virgin Spring.")
1. Thumbsucker
There's the Keanu Reeves you know in "The Matrix" and there is the Keanu Reeves from "Thumbsucker." I'd bet good money on it: he is the best hippie dentist you are going to see in a contemporary independent film. Mike Mills social satire has plenty of other selling points, including winning performances by newcomer Lou Taylor Pucci, Tilda Swinton, and Vince Vaugn as a lecherous but good natured debate team coach.
2. The Virgin Spring
Winner of the 1961 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, Ingmar Bergmans "Virgin Spring" is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. Starring Max von Sydow, the film is both beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between the sacred and the profane and one fathers longing to avenge the murder of a child.
