Shine - Deluxe Collector's Edition (2 Disc Set)

Rarely does a fim come along that so illuminates the strength of the buman spriit and the triumph of the heart.

Shine is the poignant story of a young man who defies his father’s wishes in order to pursue his dreams. Both thought-provoking and powerful it tells a story of rebellion and of individuality throught the eyes of a pianist whose only form of self-expression is found in the keys of his instrument.

Incredibly compelling for a film that is essentially a character study of one man, Shine leaves out no detail and masterfully uses the camera to capture an inner turmoil. Exquisite five-star performances by Rush, Taylor, Mueller-Stahl, and supporting players John Gielgud and Lynn Redgrave. Rush’s frantic jabbering as the insane Helfgott perfectly captures the mood and the music is awe-inspiring and leaves you wanting to applaud after every performance!

“Shine” was one of the must-see films of 1996 and caused a bidding war at the Sundance Festival and upon viewing, it is immediately apparent why this film caused such a stir!
