Product Name : Evita
After more than a decade of false starts and several potential directors, the popular Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical finally made it to the big screen with Alan Parker (The Commitments) at the helm and Madonna in the coveted title role of Argentina's first lady, Eva Perón. A triumph of production design, costuming, cinematography, and epic-scale pageantry, the film follows the rise of Eva Perón to the level of supreme social and political celebrity in the 1940s.

Product Review : Evita
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  Wow - a musical movie that's actually BETTER than the stage, By Andrew Horberry (Toronto) - See all my reviews This review is from: Evita (DVD) First, I declare my bias: I loved the stage musical. I saw it early on in its London run, and made sure I had a ticket for its final night in London. And I've seen too many movie versions of stage musicals that are just dreadful. So I had low, low expectations for this.But it is WONDERFUL. Not only was Madonna great, the resonances between her life and Eva's rise to fame gave an added frisson to her performance. Banderas can sing and dance a storm, and the tango sequences are enough to convince anyone to join a dance class. And there was at least some attention drawn to the repressive nature of the Peronistas, which wasn't - or couldn't be - done on stage. Anything bad? Sure. The dreadful reallocation of 'Another Suitcase' to Eva rather than to Peron's mistress. But I can forgive this in light of the sublime 'You Must Love Me', new for the movie, and a wonderfully double-edged lyric masterpiece. Don't just buy this: play it again and again! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Evita (1996), By Chad DeFeo "(ChandlerBingFan)" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Evita (VHS Tape) Madonna has finally gotten the role that she said herself was born to play: Evita. This film is an up-dated movie-musical version of the broadway musical, Evita.Madonna is in the role of Eva "Evita" Peron, who rose from poverty to riches and fame. Eva lived a life so perfect, so sublime, it seemed to good to be true. Until she became diagnosed with uterary cancer. She passed away on July 26, 1952, leaving her nation heartbroken. Madonna was incredibly outstanding in this role. This was a role that was made only for Madonna and nobody else. They could've picked the best actress in the world and that actress still wouldn't come close to Madonna's performance. But the movie itself wasn't what I had expected. I was thinking this would be a movie with dialogue. I didn't expect to me a movie that was a musical. That's why I gave it three stars instead of five. Still, Madonna delivers another one of her best performances. Her rendition of Don't Cry For Me Argentina is...

I did not realize this was a musical. but as the moie progressed I became immersed in the story and the actors. I was hooked on the movie and the music. Madonna and Antonio Banderas were sensational, and I now have ordered this film and the soundtrack. The song You must love me was used in my sisters wedding as her first dance with her husband. I am waiting in anticipation for the film and the soundtrack to arrive at my door. Thank you Amazon.. |
