Editorial Reviews

A story of a frail young ladies' interest in the Zodiac, which could be either beneficial or detrimental to her romantic pursuits, and as a result, provides a very intriguing and interesting story. While searching for her soul mate, she experiences bizarre and surreal events. Tommy Lee Jones' performance is a tour-de-force of artistry and feeling.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Neglected Treasure, September 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Eliza's Horoscope [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's a real shame more people don't know about this film; for art-film lovers, it's a true must see. Coming out of Canada in 1970, the only film made by writer/director Gordon Sheppard, it won numerous awards upon release, then fell into apparent obscurity. The story is that of a young woman's search for love, of how she finds it and then, tragically, loses it. This simple plot description does not do justice, however, to the film's deeply felt lyrical beauty. With enough surrealistic touches to satisfy any fan of Fellini, it also packs a real emotional wallop. What more can I say? Track it down. Buy it. Enjoy. You won't be sorry.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible DVD of excellent film, October 6, 2004

Scott Andrew Hutchins (Bronx, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eliza's Horoscope (DVD)

I have this on a tape that is nearly unwatchable, but I stuck it out and found it rewarding viewing. I was excited to get this DVD, which I assumed even at a budget price and likely too heavily compressed, particularly given that the film runs an even two hours, would be an imporvement on that tape, but I was horribly mistaken. The sound is so distorted as to be nearly indecipherable, and an unlistenable film is even worse than a difficult to watch film. It's a shame someone hasn't seen the value of this film enough to give it a decent release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Masterpiece, August 29, 2006

This review is from: Eliza's Horoscope [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The only movie made by a genius director from Canada, comparable from this perspective to "The Caroussel of Souls," recently released by Criterion. This arthouse gem is an extraordinary blend of Fellini and Kubrick (you will be surprised to see what inspired him in his last movie, "Eyes Wide Shut"). Highly recommended for all real movie buffs and connoisseurs, and not only! Criterion Collection should take a look at this brilliant work of art as well, and release it in the format it deserves.
