Chegaram novos DVDs

A Biblioteca da ECA acaba de receber mais de 120 novos DVDs.  Os títulos foram recomendados pelo Prof. Roberto Moreira numa remessa incomum pela quantidade e variedade. Quase todos são lançamentos importados, difíceis de serem encontrados no Brasil.

A lista vai de Herzog a Brakhage.  Dá pra expandir consideravelmente o horizonte dos clássicos, ultrapassar a barreira ‘Bergman, Truffaut e Cia’, e ainda esbarrar num Kurosawa que não é o do Sonhos.

Merece destaque a coleção das sete comédias de Preston Sturges, pai da ‘screwball comedy’, o Lola Montès de Max Ophuls na versão sem cortes do diretor (DVD duplo, com extras e até making of), o Louis Malle de Um jantar com André (também DVD duplo) e o box com os The killers de Robert Siodmak (1946) e de Don Siegel (1964), com extras surpreendentes, como a versão de um Tarkovsky ainda estudante para o filme.

As odisséias ficam por conta da trilogia The human condition de Masaki Kobayashi com mais de 9 horas de duração e das coleções do documentarista holandês Johann Van der Keuken (14 DVDs) e do britânico Alan Clarke (6 DVDs), diretor de filmes para TV nos anos 70 e 80.

Também estão na lista as coletâneas de curtas do Cinema 16 e a coleção Director’s Label, que traz os diretores de clips musicais Michel Gondry (de Brilho eterno de uma mente sem lembranças), Spike Jonze (de Quero ser Jonh Malkovith) e Chris Cunningham.

Tem também uma leva considerável de nomes orientais: Ozu, Hiroshi Teschigahara, Kyoshi Kurosawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Kenji Mizoguchi, Shohei Imamura e Hiroshi Shimizu, entre outros.

Portugual fica representado na coleção de Pedro Costa com os longas Ossos, No quarto da Vanda e Juventude em marcha.

Por fim, os dois boxes caprichadíssimos da Fox, um de John Ford e outro com Borzage e Murnau, dedicado aos tempos áureos de liberdade criativa em Hollywood.
Para despachar tudo isso o quanto antes pro acervo, fizemos uma catalogação relâmpago só com dados essenciais como título, duração, diretor e algumas informações técnicas como cor, região e formato de tela. Aos poucos, vamos completar a base de dados com tudo o que é necessário: resumos, ficha técnica completa, assuntos etc.
