This DVD is a 97 minute feature film starring Stephen Rae, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall and others. A satire of 70's era rock-and-roll about the reunion of Strange Fruit, a band that probably shouldn't have formed in the first place. Connolly (MRS. BROWN), Mike Leigh regular Spall, British chart-topper Nail, and the always-reliable Rea round out a talented ensemble cast in this distinctly bittersweet British comedy. Still Crazy Reviews: "...A prime piece of entertainment....A solid blend of humor and heart..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...[Bill Nighty delivers] a star turn that comprehensively steals the film..."
-- Andy Medhurst, Sight and Sound "...Wistful....The performances are generous and gentle..." -- Rating: B+
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "...A brilliantly observed tale of rock-and-roll and riotous reality....The cast is excellent....Bitingly funny..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
-- Mike Kerrigan, Box Office "...A nostalgia trip worth taking....Prepare to laugh -- and hum..."
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today "...An irresistibly uproarious and heart-tugging tale....STILL CRAZY offers a screen full of engaging, sharply defined people, abundant broad comedy set off by incisive wit and keen, knowing observation..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "The movie, a bittersweet song of yearning and unlikely reconciliation, was written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais."Wall Street Journal

$18.59 Based on the novel by the mysterious and controversial JT LeRoy, Asia Argento's THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS is a penetrating look at the emotional and physical bonds between mother and son. Argento, daughter of Italian horror king Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA), directs and stars in the film, playing Sarah, a young woman addicted to sex, drugs, and danger. The movie opens as she reenters the life of her seven-year-old son, Jeremiah (Jimmy Bennett), who has been dragged away from his serene and apparently wonderful foster home to be reunited with his crazy mother. She has no idea how to take care of what is clearly an extraordinary child, abusing him psychologically as she allows a string of loser boyfriends (including Michael Pitt, John Robinson, and Jeremy Sisto) to beat him physically. Sarah disappears for long stretches of time, eventually forcing Jeremiah to live with his Bible-thumping grandparents (Peter Fonda and Ornella Muti), who find yet more ways to scar the child. But again and again, he winds up back with his deeply troubled mother, who is spiraling downward--and bringing Jeremiah with her. Argento, who also cowrote the screenplay (with Alessandro Magania), gives a raw, powerful, courageous performance as Sarah, holding nothing back. And the actors who play Jeremiah as he grows up (first Bennett, then twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse) are outstanding in very complex roles. The hard-driving soundtrack (which includes Marilyn Manson, who plays one of Sarah's boyfriends) matches the fast-paced editing, making Argento's labor of love a visual and aural treat, even with its difficult imagery and content.
From cult author JT LeRoy's best-selling novel "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," comes Asia Argento's bold cinematic adaptation of the controversial story of a mother and her son living hard and fast in the dark fringes of America. ...
