DVD & Blu-ray highlights: ‘All is Lost,’ ‘The Jungle Book’

‘All is Lost’

Nautical survival films are plentiful and popular, from “The Perfect Storm” and “Cast Away” to the more recent “Captain Phillips,” “Life of Pi” and “Kon-Tiki.” “All is Lost,” starring Robert Redford all by his lonesome, is perhaps the bravest endeavor of this genre. Playing “Our Man,” Redford is alone on a yacht in the Indian Ocean with a boat that’s falling apart. This is a tough performance executed beautifully. (DVD, $26.98; Blu-ray, $29.99)
