The Joseph Losey Collection [DVD]

A one off, 1 April 2011

By 

Mr. A. Campbell-walter (Hoath, Kent UK) –

  

I already knew several of the better known films and wished to be reacquainted with them but was not prepared for Mr Klein which I found simply fascinating. Quite the best performance from Delon I have yet seen playing a strangely unsympathetic yet mesmerising individual. Sleeping Tiger came a close second, what a wonderful actor Bogarde was with such depths that Losey plumbed so successfully. My third surprise was Eva with Baker playing the usual abrasive, chip on the shoulder character which he played a little too often but this film was again hypnotic with everything going down hill and no one doing anything to stop it. That and the strange unclear conclusion to virtually all the stories makes Losey a terrible cynical observer of relationships. Makes you wonder what his own were like! All highly watchable and very good value.

Great Films – Dodgy DVD, 22 July 2009

By 

R. J. Blower “Dark Side of the Noir” (England) –

  

This is a great film collection – some of which are hard to get – and the transfer is excellent, except the DVDs in my copy were corrupted and degenerated into a pixelated noise near the end of the disk.
