Description

Based on Leo Tolstoy's novel, Father Sergius, Night Sun stars Julian Sands as Sergio, a nobleman in 18th-century Italy who is expected to marry a duchess, Nastassja Kinski. Upon learning that she was previously the King's mistress, Sergio turns his back on society and becomes a monk. While at the hermitage he tries to resist all sexual temptations before him and soon becomes known as a miracle worker. Eventually he succumbs to a young seductress and knowing he is undeserving of the adulation, leaves the hermitage to travel around as a homeless beggar.

Customer Reviews:

a story of finding.......2003-10-13

I saw the translated version in my country, so I did not hear Julian's voice. But I like the story itself. It has the same atomosphere of Russian film, and it just fit very well the hero's life searching. To Sergio, honour, dignity and faith are important, but he failed in appoaching it. It may be a life's tragedy, but we also adore his honesty, his searching and his pay. The film has good shot utiliazing and music, which made the film like a slowly flowing river and it flowed into the audience's heart.

Julian, What Were You Thinking?.......2000-01-05

Julian Sands is an actor whose work range from slightly bizarre to fabulous in period costume. As a fan, I've followed his career for years, however, Night Sun is not one of his better performances. The film is standard period melodrama with too much costume and little content. Although Sands attempts to bring life to a dreary storyline, he's overwhelmed by the maudlin and predictable characterization. Nothing works in this film, and perhaps most obnoxious is the dubbing. We all know what a beautiful voice Sands possesses, and to hear him dubbed is plainly irritating. The film is easily bypassed for better performances by this talented actor, and better storylines in film worth the attention such as A Room With A View.

You will love this DVD if you like hard core knock out action extraordinaire.

For Die-Hards Only.......2007-03-28

I was actually at a show from this tour and it seemed a lot better than represented here.

This is cool for a time capsule, and there are some okay performances of some songs, but they're undercut by the bad mix and iffy camera work.

Oh, and then those horns. Thank God THAT idea never took hold after this tour. Eeesh.

The only thing worse than the horns was Sting's foot-synth which he uses on a couple of songs. The effect, in a word: tragic. It sounds more like a car alarm than a good musical idea.

Far, far superior is the Synchronicity concert--buy that.

AND wait for "Police Around the World" to come out on DVD. That is the best document of early Police and has killer performances from all over the world.

Much better performance than the Synchronicity concert.......2007-03-09

Excellent performance, I especially liked how the last song (So Lonely) came out. One of the best live versions I've seen /heard of this song. Although the sound quality is not as good as that of the Synchronicity DVD, overall I think this is a much better performance (at least Sting's voice does not sound hoarse in this one).

Would someone please release a definitive Police dvd!.......2007-03-09

This DVD is good, but only because the Police have not released anything better. The sound is uneven (to say the least) in spots. For example, during Message in a Bottle, you can barely hear Andy's guitar as the sythns dominate. Also, Stewart Copeland is certainly not shown enough. There are portions of the disc where you can see all of Sting and Andy but only maybe a quick flash of Stewart's hands. You can see more of Stewart on Driven to Tears, but unfortunately, it seems like Stewart may have forgotten how to play the song for the first half of it. However, by the second of half of the song, Stewart really finds his groove, and makes this track probably the highlight of the disc. Unfortunately, the disc really does seem to focus almost exclusively on Sting for a disproportional amount of time. A lot of reviewers have made a big deal over the horns, but they really are not that prominent. There are portions where you cannot turn off the Korean subtitles (during the stage banter), but it is minimal and not very distracting.

Oh My Horn!.......2006-11-20

Yikes! The addition of the horn section to The Police sound was not the best idea Sting ever forced upon Stewart & Andy. I personally prefer the original power trio magic- and I suspect most fans would agree.

The direction is odd... a lot of strange camera angles that are not completely unwelcome, but with most of the 'standard' camera set-ups going unused, you have to wonder what the director was thinking. The coverage of Stewart makes him seem like a hired hand. Honestly, the horn section gets better treatment!

The band is not firing on all cylinders, but if you are a hard core fan like myself... you just have to check it out! The mix is a bit off during the beginning (Sting's Taurus pedals drown out Andy's guitar for a while!) but things level out. I couldn't get the Korean subtitles to turn off, but don't let that stop you. They are only present when Sting speaks in between songs. (Also note that a few parts of this were showed on the old VHS 'From Outlandos to Synchronicities.')

Having said all of this, the good outweighs the bad... but only if you are a die hard fan. You do get to check out 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' with Andy performing the piano part on his guitar. Interesting!

not bad.......2006-08-31

It's hard to find good "Ghost" material out there. This was most likely some kind of pay-per-view special in England, but the band sounds pretty tight. I was never too crazy about the horn section on this tour, but it's certainly interesting.
