Mr. Nicholas : a magical Christmas tale / by De Vinck, Christopher,1951-author.(CARDINAL)765361;
"A story that helps us see the unique goodness in each person. A boy with Downs Syndrome, figures out that Mr. Nicholas, the local hardware store owner, involved with reindeer, toys, and children is more than just a clerk on Main Street"--"Each town has its own secrets, and those secrets belong to each citizen in his or her own way. When it becomes known that Mr. Nicholas, the eccentric owner of the hardware store, is somehow involved with reindeer, toys, and children, the town becomes more and more suspicious that this man is more than just a clerk on Main Street.JB, a clever, open, ten-year-old boy with Down's syndrome, is able to figure out the secret from the first time Mr. Nicholas gives him a chocolate deer wrapped in gold foil. JB's father and mother, divorced and both cynical, follow the adventures of JB as he flies on the back of a reindeer, feeds Mister Rogers' fish, and defines what can be forgotten by those who are too busy to remember the magic of Christmas, cuckoo-clocks, and love"--

The director's "art film for teenagers" was his second adaptation of young-adult novelist S. E. Hinton's work in a single year, after the more classically styled The Outsiders. Graced with a remarkable cast headed by Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, and Diane Lane; haunting black-and-white visuals that hark back to German expressionism and forward to Coppola's own Tetra; and a powerful percussive score by Steward Copeland that underlines the movie's romantic fatalism, Rumble Fish pulsates with genuine love and dread"--Container.MPAA rating: R.DVD, NTSC, region 1; widescreen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); Dolby Digital 2.0 surround, 5.1 surround.
