Wristcutters: A Love Story, Lost Highway, Bonnie and Clyde
The indie romance Wristcutters: A Love Story is set in a strange version of the afterlife, and halfway through David Lynch's decidedly weird Lost Highway, Bill Pullman enters another reality altogether. Among this week's new DVDs, only the classic gangster couple in Bonnie and Clyde, out in a special edition box set, don't get a second chance.
A walking suicide, Zia (Patrick Fugit) finally meets the girl of his dreams (Shannyn Sossaman.) The only problem: they're both dead. The hipster girl expelled her last breath in an unintentional drug overdose. In Goran Dukic's dark comedy, these lost souls find each other -- and maybe a way out of eternal limbo.
Lost Highway is a must for Lynch fans and, along with Inland Empire, one of the innovative filmmaker's most inscrutable movies. Featuring Bill Pullman, a dwarf and Patricia Arquette in distress, this psychological thriller combines murder, mystery and deception to a very twisted end. This week, the film is finally available in widescreen format.
Still horrifying and hilarious in its casual depiction of murder, love, and grand theft Ford Model T, Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde provides the blueprint for a gazillion crime-spree romances that followed it. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway radiate youth and sex appeal. This new DVD release has a second disc jammed full of special features.
