Inkheart - Fantasy Film DVD Review

INKHEART is a film you may not have heard much about because it was rather unceremoniously released into theaters in January, 2009.  Even if you’ve heard about it, the odds are mighty high that you missed its brief theatrical engagement—which managed to eke out only $17,303,424 at the domestic box-office.  Well, you wouldn’t be alone; [...]

Unfortunately, given the sad state of foreign film exhibition in America, it seems probable that like most of Resnais’ last eight films, WILD GRASS will not even be distributed to American cinemas! Luckily, Kino Video has recently put four of the missing Resnais films out on DVD. With that in mind, we offer some notes on selected Resnais films with themes that relate to cinefantastique.

Except for a handful of direct-to-video titles, the only new cinefantastique is INKHEART, the Brendan Fraser film about the magic of reading that disappeared from theatres about [...]
