Rivette's 153-minute rarity has come to DVD in a beautiful print, providing quite the revelatory treat to Joe's fans who have long wanted to see this elusive film from one of Europe's great filmmakers. If there's a potential drawback, it's that the film can't be purchased separately but comes as one of a boxed set of "Four Masterworks," a designation with which the director might take some exception. Also in the set: Duell, Va Savoir, Celine and Julie Go Boating, all very much worth owning. Merry-Go-Round is spoken alternately in French and English, with German subtitles the only caption option. Available as Region2/PAL from, among several places, Germany's Amazon.com site.

"Little Joe" gets a mention in a poem of Curtis's recited in voice-over early in the festival favorite Control, "the tragic tale of the singer of Joy Division," now available on DVD.

Raro Video Offers Raro Warhol
Italian DVD specialty house Raro Video continues to offer a tantalizing assortment of Warhol titles for those who have all-region DVD with PAL-conversion players. If you have such a player and wish to order these stateside, they are currently available through Xploited Cinema. The Trilogy boxed set is quite good and you'll note they're using a great shot from San Diego Surf on the Flesh cover. Other Warhol titles include The Chelsea Girls, Nude Restaurant, I, A Man, My Hustler, Vinyl, and in a four-silent film box: Kiss, Blow Job, Empire and Mario Banana. An 11-film compilation boxed set called the Andy Warhol Anthology includes all these titles except for the Trilogy. Note: The Chelsea Girls suffers from an improper audio mix, resulting in some sequences which were meant to have sound playing silently and vice versa.
