VHS Movie Reviews of Nijinsky
Movie Review: ...a Michaelangelo masterpiece discovered at Texas university...
Summary: 5 Stars
"...The screenplay was written by Edward Albee directed by Tony Richardson and star Rudolph Nureyev as Vaslav. Claude Jade as Romola
and Paul Scofield as Diagilev..."
When a Texas university buys a virtually new video--one that will probably play for "years"--and you know that the movie will be viewed
by a rather sophisticated audience--it makes you feel happy indeed.
In the opinion of this reviewer the film production is gorgeous.
It reminds the viewer of what it means to be human.
Movie Review: DVD Please!
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this film in early 80's and was blown away. It is a typical "tragic closeted homosexual" film ala "Ode to Billy Joe" and others of that time period. But what struck me was the sheer grandeur of the movie. Someone spent big buck$$ to make this film a visual feast--location, period pieces, costumes, hair, jewelry, and top notch talent (except Leslie Browne). Have not since seen a gay-themed movie that matches the splendour of this movie.
Would give five stars for a DVD version.
Movie Review: DVD Please, beautiful movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
Except for Leslie Browne's pathetic performance, the acting is very fine. Especially interesting is the wonderful Carla Fracci who was not only a great ballerina but a great actress. Even George was good. Beautifully filmed, wonderful, accurate costumes and sets make this a film worth seeing. Sadly, the dance sequences and short and cut. I would have been willing to sit another hour for more, especially the intriguing reconstruction of Jeux. Lets have a dvd with the movie restored to it's original beauty and LOTS OF EXTRAS!!!! The VHS copy is horrible.Movie Review: DVD Please!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most excellent film though we need it in a DVD. Please do it soon!Movie Review: DVD! DVD!! DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having fallen in love with THE RED SHOES and learning that the inspiration for the film was the Diaghilev-Nijinski story, I made it a point to get ahold of NIJINSKI. I wasn't really expecting much, since I had never heard of the film before, and so I was honestly surprised to find that it was such a good film. It's as good a film biography as the best of them, in my opinion, blessed with wonderful performances, plus it has a FASCINATING story, which takes it up a notch from there. (In fact, it had made me want to do some reading on the people in the film.) But for now, I'm hoping to encourage the designated gatekeepers to put NIJINSKY on DVD. So, 5 stars (although I would actually rate it at 4-1/2 with 5 for THE RED SHOES). NIJINSKY on DVD with a good historical comentary would be a jewel.
