I first saw Vincere when it had its American premiere during last year’s New York Film Festival, but the film – directed and co-written (with Daniella Ceselli) by Marco Bellocchio — is so smart, dark and telling that it easily rewards a second viewing. Marco Bellocchio’s skills as a filmmaker have [...]
An un-missable look at one of the art world’s most fascinating controversies and a celebrated selection of the Toronto, New York and AFI Film Festivals, Don Argott’s gripping documentary THE ART OF THE STEAL chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art [...]

The blu-ray disc DVD itself is excellent. I think that Universal is doing a great job of putting together their high
