Australian Blu-ray Importing: June 2013 Buying Guide

The last month has seen the Australian dollar ride a roller coaster which has pushed the value down, although it has done a good job of retaining its value just short of parity.

Of course, this has made imports just a tad less enticing than last month, however, nothing is more compelling than Blu-ray titles that haven't made their way to our shores so let's take a look at the latest instalment of the series. As always, these discs are safe to import for local Region B Blu-ray players.

One Hour Photo

4

Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

Country of Origin: United States

Purchase: Amazon.com

Region: A, B, C

At the turn of the new millennium, funny man Robin Williams turned his back on comedy, with a series of seriously dark fare that showed off his wider acting range. The most memorable of these, Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo is just as chilling as it was in 2002, even if the thought of developing 35mm film is a notion from another age.

When the outwardly mild mannered, but twisted photo clerk Sy (Robin Williams) begins to obsess over a young family and their seemingly perfect life, their worlds clash together when Sy crosses the line. With an almost art-house feel, and an unexpectedly great turn from Robin Williams, One Hour Photo truly stands the test of time.
