The Best of Victor Borge: Act I & II (1990)

Lost Episodes of Victor Borge - Volume Two

This DVD offers a collection of entertaining television moments from comedian/pianist Victor Borge that were thought lost. The disc contains a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack does what it can with the limited quality of the source materials. This is an excellent disc for those who count themselves fans of Borge's singular style, as well as for people looking for a title the whole family can enjoy.

Forest

Short film built from photographs, sped up like a traditional stop motion and is meant to be an evocation of the English Eerie and Folk Horror.

Christmas Wreaths and Ribbons

A wreathmaker slips on ice and injures her arm which puts her holiday wreath deliveries in jeopardy until a selfless neighbor steps up to keep her business afloat.

Le Lys d'or

The Madonna gives a golden lily to the poor musician. He tries to sell it and this arouses the suspicion of the goldsmith.

Reimon

This film is a political and poetic portrait of the daily life of a low class woman who plays the part of a cleaning lady. Ramona lives in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Every day she travels four hours and a half to reach her job and to get back home. She divides her working time between two upper middle-class homes where she receives the name of Réimon, a sound that evokes the English language, a Buenos Aires upper class snobbish custom. It´s fiction and it´s not. It´s also a film about the labour conditions of a worker, about the time this worker uses for working and the efforts that implies working. It´s also about the absurdity of cleaning someone else´s house, the absurdity of modern life and the differences between social classes.

Climax Together

Live footage of the japanese rock band BUCK-TICK, filmed on September 10 and 11, 1992 at Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa. Unlike their previous live video, Sabbat, Climax Together does not employ camera effects and cutting to stock footage during the performance. This is a much more straight-laced presentation of their live show. The gig was specifically given for the purpose of filming.

Snow Is Falling

One day the snow left the forest and went to the city. At the same time, his leadership was the Snow Law, which says that if you fall out for the first time, you can get up and walk again, if you fall out a second time, you can also get up and go further. And if you fall out for the third time, then you will remain lying until you turn into a puddle.
