4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Dance at its Near Hottest, June 1, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Car Man (Matthew Bourne) (DVD)
I hadn't seen Bourne's "Swan Lake" nor knew anything of it before seeing "Car Man," so I had no expectations.

And because of that, I found myself either gasping or holding my breath at times. I love modern dance, and was not disappointed. The sensuality and steaminess within the dance only hightened my reaction towards this show. The story is simple to say the least... but then, it's based on a simple opera. This is a dynamite show and definitely worth the attention.

(Please note: The review above is for that of the play. I have not seen the actual video noted here. Others' negative critiques may very well be agreeable.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Most interesting and engaging!, April 20, 2005
This review is from: The Car Man (Matthew Bourne) (DVD)
This is NOT your traditional ballet. It is, however, gripping and entrancing. The dancers are good, and the choreography imaginative. Our attention never wandered.

The plot of this "auto-erotic" dance thriller is not totally linear, but it is clearly drawn. We are interested in the characters and their interactions. We find considerable beauty as well.

My only quarrel with this presentation is the rapid cutting. I wish the camera had been able to linger longer without all the constant motion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, September 9, 2004
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Car Man (Matthew Bourne) (DVD)
This is a terribly disappointing video. I was expecting to see some incredible dancing. Instead, what we have throughout this recording, are close-ups of head and shoulders and a few seconds of group/long shots. I actually started counting the seconds a camera held a position and the longest length of time was 8 seconds - and that's including the lyrical passages. The group is passionate and attractive. The costumes and sets are terrific. If only the cameras could stay still. I'm sure this performance was thrilling in the theater. Major dissapointment.
