Liam delivers his new review of DVDs available from Island Libraries – rental just 98p per night. Ed

With the advent of DVD cinema, films have emerged that in one sense are fascinating, sharp and remarkably nimble but surprisingly the technology has helped the evolution of film-making to new levels.

The Life Before Her Eyes is a film that is based on a novel, but is a breath of fresh morning rain for any viewer that might be disappointed with American cinematic movies.

Essentially this is a film that teaches theory and perspective on death, life, birth, marriage and does this with such simple clarity that it’s extremely impressive.

The direction in this case seems to be totally focused from the start and yet the film flows through the brain in such a beautiful way that the viewer just simply understands and learns to accept the story unquestionably.

For an American film this is a complete surprise but seems to be an introduction into what is emerging as a new level of DVD cinema known as High-Art.

With the advent of High-Art films such as The Bothersome Man, DVD cinema has achieved a new and interesting plateau.

This film is a very interesting and easy-going approach to life that seems to open up some fascinating angles on questions to reality, reincarnation, cycles of life and rebirth and generally, all things good.

The Life Before Her Eyes generally writing is a ground-breaking and timeless attempt to help an audience view life as part of a cycle and really lovely for doing that.
