Lost Battalion [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC] Released 2021 product/publication from Alpha Video
A critically acclaimed film PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. George Patton, the only Allied General truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as PATTON shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.
All Spike Lee's movies, from SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT forward, have tackled big ideas head-on using wide strokes to a paint a picture that is both impressionistic and realistic. Though not the most subtle director, Lee has consistently challenged both his audience and himself. His step into genre filmmaking with 2006's INSIDE MAN was a delightful surprise, and though he continues down this road somewhat with the World War II film MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA, he also returns with force to the realm of the big idea. The first film ever to tell the story of the Army's all African-American Buffalo Soldier unit, MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA is inherently an important film. Yet rather than allow it to stand on it's own as simply a war picture starring African-American actors, Lee takes on myriad social and historical discussions. Director Spike Lee Starring Derek Luke, Omar Benson Miller, Laz Alonso, Michael Ealy, John Leguizamo, Special Features Full Frame - 1.33 Widescreen - 2.35 Audio Dolby Digital English Running Time 160 Minutes
