VHS Movie Reviews of Law of Desire [VHS]
Movie Review: Lo dudo
Summary: 5 Stars
Not being able to get most of the Almodovar films on dvd for playing on USA dvd players is obnoxious and the only subtitled vhs tapes you can manage to get are video store throw outs which mercifully appear not to have been rented out much. Why no one wanted to watch them is troubling because his films are marvelous- made by someone who loves women, film, writing, music and who champions those who, in the midst of profound societal oppostion, create themselves and the love they deserve and crave.
Law of Desire manages to break my heart and make me feel better about love and lust every time i watch it .When i first saw it, a friend of mine was dying from AIDS so the impact the film has made on me has been enhanced twofold. I try to make everyone I meet watch it and if they do not ' get it' I wonder if they've ever really been in that sort of crazed love that makes all things possible and impossible. As Elvis Costello said, "they say they'd die for love and then they live it out"- here's a story about being able to not live it out.
Movie Review: Pedro fans want this film released on DVD already!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
With each new film, Pedro Almodovar continually tops himself. Almodovar has a strong following these days, so, for Christ's sake, somebody PLEASE release "Law Of Desire" on DVD already!!!!! Movie Review: celluloid eroticism
Summary: 5 Stars
The Law of Desire was the first of Almodovar's films to be released in the U.S. although it is not his first film. And what an introduction. The film is sleek and sexy and captures Antonio Banderas in all his sexual beauty. What one has to know about Almodovar is the sense of humor behind the vehicle which is the film. To begin with, the GREAT Carmen Maura has an incredible history: she was a boy, taken away by her father as I recall, had a subsequent sex change to become a woman and is now in a lesbian relationship--so she has essentially come full circle! That is the sly humor of Almodovar; his art also draws you into the pathology of Banderas, with his incredible beauty, until you are finally rooting for him to accomplish his criminal intent. When Almodova wants to be flippant he is the master; when he wants to get a joke across, the delivery is first class; when he wants you to cry, he is incomparable--I defy anyone to sit through All About My Mother with dry eyes. The future genius of Almodovar is up front in this film and his work to date has never disappointed. Movie Review: I agree with number 1
Summary: 5 Stars
This should be on DVD and available to everyone. I saw it when it was new. A great film, funny, scarey, romantic, and Antonio was not Zorro. He was the man Madonna, and sooooo many others, fell in love with by looking at him on a screen.Movie Review: As if it's never going to be over
Summary: 2 Stars
Not all Almadovar's films are great, this one is unbearably familiar. The same plot of lust and betrayal between a film maker and an actor plus a very talkative transgender!
With all due respect, I admire Bad Education entirely but without a proper review of those dialogues this film just all went straight to the drain. Almadovar made all talkings in it sound like one man or himself!
