TURN-ONS AND TURN-OFFS IN CURRENT HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES : ****Excellent ***Good **Fair *Poor : VIDEOCASSETTES

“Coppelia.” Kultur. $59.95. Arthur Saint-Leon’s classic ballet comedy about lifelike dolls (and people obsessed with them) is unavailable on home video except for this very modest 1980 performance by Ballets de San Juan, Puerto Rico. As Swanilda, Ana Maria Castanon has charm and vivacity, but not the reliable balances needed for the exposed technical challenges of the last act. However, as Franz, guest artist Fernando Bujones (obviously the raison d’etre of this video project) dances with brilliance, ease, perfect placement and--believe it or not--remarkable generosity toward his hard-working colleagues. Catch-as-catch-can camera work, mediocre sound recording. Information: (800) 458-5887 **
