Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Johnny Depp made his debut as a director and screenwriter with this allegorical tale of the plight of Native Americans. Raphael (Depp) is an alcoholic American Indian who lives in a hovel near a junkyard with his wife Rita (Elpidia Carillo) and his children Frankie (Cody Lightning) and Marta (Nicole Mancera); he scrapes together a meager living rescuing potentially salable items from the rubbish. Desperate to raise money, Raphael arranges to meet a wealthy man named McCarthy (Marlon Brando), who makes him an unusual offer: he'll pay Raphael $50,000 to appear in a film in which he's beaten to death by a gang of rednecks. The murder in the film will not be faked; if he takes the role, Raphael will suffer a painful demise in front of the camera. Raphael accepts, hoping the money will help Rita build a better life for their children. For the next seven days, Raphael tries to enjoy his last week on Earth and teach Frankie something of his new responsibilities as the man of the house. Punk rock icon Iggy Pop composed the film's score.
SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Camerimage Awards, Cannes Film Festival,

The Brave DVD November 6, 2009
Lorraine Rogers (Bomaderry NSW Aust)
Have been searching for this item for so long. I did enjoy it and as always Johnny was gorgeous and did a great job on this film as director. The product arrived in good condition and without delay. Thank you Amazon.

I bought a dvd for my wife for christmas from this seller, it arrived almost instantly and it looked to be flawless "looked". When my wife opened it and tried to watch it, it did not play at all, when i tried to contact the seller again, he ignored me and never even tried to contact me again. Needless to say i was premature on my original comment, and sellers like this are the reason why people should beware when ordering things online from strangers
 It's a shame this never got to come to the USA... April 16, 2008

I thought this was a fantastic movie, a nicely paced drama that follows young Raphael (Depp) on his final days among the living with his family and friends in the poor community they live in. Watching him prepare himself to face his death for the disturbing entertainment of others, with the promise of $50,000 to be given to his family afterwards.
It's a moving film, and I'm very glad I purchased it and a regionless dvd player.
Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze and impress me, always doing interesting and different roles, and I'm proud to have this dvd among my collection.
Absolutely Wonderful!! October 27, 2007

In my opinion this is just a superb movie. It's a shame it wasn't better received by the critics, otherwise more people may have gotten a chance to see it. It's a movie that is powered more by emotion than action, although there is some action, & I think that emotions are much harder for an actor to get across than it would be if he were just the gun toting hero shooting people. Johnny Depp is a master at bringing emotions to the surface & he does it brilliantly in this movie. You can look at his face, even if it's stone blank, & know just what he's thinking & feeling. The more times I see it the more I fall in love with it. There are some scenes that are so beautifully done, mostly just dialog, but the emotions that are behind the words are so powerful that you can't help but be drawn into it & actually start feeling yourself what the characters are feeling. The music is beautiful too and really helps to set the tone of the movie, it stays in your head long after the movie is over. This is one movie I'll definitely watch over & over in the future & probably one of Johnny's best performances.

Let's for a moment pretend that Depp's character Raphael, from the Italian tribe of course, is a strip of wallpaper. One day this wallpaper decides it's not good enough for the house anymore and gets in touch with an interior decorator, played by Marlon Brando in a convincing turn as Jabba the Hut sans special effects, who eventually sets this strip of wallpaper on fire in a fit of sadistic glee. But you literally have to watch the wallpaper glue dry for an hour or so before you go from the old batch to the new batch. You never even actually see the new wallpaper gracing the walls; perhaps our evil home decorator skips town without ever installing it. But isn't that just like life? And I'm sure that's what Depp was trying to tell us with this coma-inducing treat. So buckle up and move on to the next review.
