VHS Movie Reviews of ... And God Created Woman [VHS]

Movie Review: This is it!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is it! The movie that first brought modern eroticism to the silver screen. This is the performance that lifted Brigitte Bardot to towering heights of international stardom, and it's easy to see why. Even now, after decades of an endless procession of BB imitators and ever more graphic film content, this movie packs a real sexual charge. It's not a perfect film. Tod Browning's production of DRACULA wasn't a perfect film, either. However, it's impossible to imagine anyone other than Bela Lugosi as the Count, just as it's impossible to imagine anyone other than BB bringing so much life to the role of Juliette here.

It's certainly one of Mlle. Bardot's greatest films ever, and as such, is essential viewing. If you haven't seen it already, what the heck are you waiting for?

NOTE: Untypically, the Criterion Collection edition has no extras. However, it's certainly the sharpest and cleanest looking transfer available. As a classic of world cinema and a work of historical importance, I recommend it with no reservations.

Movie Review: .....AND A BIT OVERATED!
Summary: 3 Stars

Bardot is just fine ....but this is not a great movie. Still one of the better one"s that BB had made over the years. Criterion has once again done a great job on the print. OK to add to your collection if you are a BB or Criterion fan.

Movie Review: Nice cheaper version
Summary: 5 Stars

I read all three reviews for this movie before I bought it for my father in law who has been in love Brigitte Bardot FOREVER!!!

He was happy with it.

Movie Review: Triad Edition is again the Incorrect Format
Summary: 1 Stars

From what I understand, Amazon insists that reviews include information about the PRODUCT. But some of these reviews gush on about the movie, slapping a 5-star rating on their review while going nowhere near what we really need to know about the quality of the disc itself. Details about the DVD are even more important now that Amazon has decided to stick all reviews for very different editions by both reputable and disreputable manufacturers, on the same page. So right now, reviews for the superior Criterion edition are mixed in with the Triad edition, which is an overpriced copy of something they've downloaded from public domain. How confusing. The reviews for the Triad edition are awash with giddy information -- click on the see-all-my-reviews links next to each review to see why -- while telling you nothing you really need to know about the DVD itself. Yes, we know Brigette Bardot is hot. Yes, we know this movie showcases the assets for which she is renowned. But what we're hunting for at this juncture is information about the quality of the DVD. How good of a transfer is it? What are the extra features? What's the source for the transfer? What does "enhanced" mean?

The glaring fact is, the Triad edition of this DVD is in the incorrect format for this movie. The original format is WIDESCREEN. You can check that out at IMDb. The Triad edition is the NTSC version for American TV broadcast, which means its source image, from wherever they got it, is a VIDEO TAPE. Aside from those shortcomings, it's dubbed, and this manufacturer provides no option to access multiple audio tracks for the original French. Whatever the program is they're using to "enhance" it, the process has the built-in limitations dictated by the source tape. With Triad's edition priced close to what you'd pay for a full-featured Blu-ray edition, you deserve a pristine copy. But the Blu-ray isn't available yet, so Criterion's ...And God Created Woman is your best bet. It provides the original audio track, along with a brand-new digitally restored transfer -- from a PRINT. In other words, to score each according to its real value, the Criterion edition is a 5-star release; the Triad edition is a 1-star gewgaw.

Yeah, yeah, Criterion's release is a few dollars more, but check out the extra features. This "Foreign Classics" edition has NONE.

Movie Review: Brigitte Bardot is HOT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

In St. Tropez, the orphan Juliete Hardy (Brigitte Bardot) is an eighteen years old woman sexually active and ahead of time, strongly desired by the wealthy middle age man Eric Carradine (Curd Jurgens). She has a crush on Antoine Tardieu (Christian Marquand), the older son that works in Toulon of a poor family that owns a modest shipyard, but he just want to have one nightstand with her. When Juliete's stepparents decide to send her back to the orphanage because of her bad reputation in the town, Antoine's brother Michel Tardieu (Jean-Louis Trintignant) proposes to marry her and she accepts, and she begins to love him. But when the Tardieu family decides to sell the shipyard to Eric and Antoine returns to St. Tropez, her lust for him blossoms again and becomes an announced tragedy.

Summary of ... And God Created Woman [VHS]

Proving that French films could be big box office hits in the U.S. by grossing over $4 million, And God Created Woman casts sexual icon Brigitte Bardot (Une Parisienne, The Night Heaven Fell), as Juliette, the 18 year old orphan with an unb
Roger Vadim's directorial debut is more titillation than continental cool, but it broke box-office records and censorship taboos in its teasing display of sex and eroticism in the sunny vacation playground of the Saint-Tropez seashore. Vadim ushered in the era of continental attitudes toward sex and christened the voluptuous Brigitte Bardot (his wife) the world's original sex kitten: earthy, innocent, and all fleshy curves. Bardot is Juliette, a pouty child-woman orphan prone to nude sunbathing and playful flirting. Though pursued by a rich widower (Curt Jurgens) and attracted to the brawny fisherman Antoine (Christian Marquand), she marries Antoine's shy younger brother Michel (Jean-Louis Trintignant), an earnest, innocent kid hardly older than she but far less worldly. Despite her sincere efforts to "be good," Juliette gives in to Michel's advances, setting off a chain of events that ends in fraternal conflict. Vadim keeps the display of skin this side of an R rating, but only barely, teasing the male audience with skimpy outfits, barely concealing sheets, and often conveniently arranged scenery. Bohemian Bardot frolics through the film with nary a self-conscious moment, culminating in a passionate mambo, her pent-up frustration and sexual confusion exploding in a mad dance as bongos pound away on the soundtrack. Who needed Viagra in the '50s when Bardot was around? --Sean Axmaker
