Carnivàle: The Complete Second Season(Buy Widescreen) "Let's shake some dust, children!" The second and final season of HBO's original series, about a supernatural sideshow traveling depression-era dustbowl America, makes good on the hints of a showdown in the struggle between light and dark from the first season. As the season begins, the destinies of vagabond fugitive Ben Hawkins (Nick Stahl), healer and reluctant messiah, and the evangelical priest (Clancy Brown), driven by the devil to build his own empire as a populist preacher, are firmly linked and the unseen "Management" sends the carnival after Hawkins' visions. Imagine The Grapes of Wrath by way of David Lynch, shot in the amber and earth tones of faded photographs and dust. Long on atmosphere and short on exposition, it picks up this season and concludes with a satisfying climax that brings the story to a close while opening up the possibilities for the struggle to continue in new forms. Michael J. Anderson (the backwards talking dwarf of Twin Peaks) is marvelous as carnival manager Samson and Adrienne Barbeau, Debra Christofferson, Clea DuVall, Carla Gallo, Toby Huss, Ralph Waite, Amy Madigan, and John Savage co-star. 12 episodes on 6 discs in a digipak.

Intimate Stories(Buy Widescreen) (Argentina) Carlos Sorin's delicately played collection of stories, set in a village that still has one foot in the 19th century, is true its title.
