This review is from: Goodbye Again [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Put on your pjs, make the popcorn, and settle back for one superb chick-flick! Ingrid Bergman stars as a sophisticated Parisian who has had an "understanding" with Yves Montand for five years. The understanding is she's madly in love with and faithful to him; he's free to date other women and see her when it's convenient. Enter Anthony Perkins as a rich, spoiled young man who falls head over heels for Ingrid. She's flattered, but she's forty; should she stop waiting for Yves and start a relationship with this twenty-five year old?

This film whisks you away to another time in the movies, when ladies always wore gloves, men always wore suits or tuxedos, and everyone smoked (glamorously). It's hard to take your eyes off Ingrid Bergman. She is stunningly beautiful and a consummate actress. Your eyes, however, will most definitely be drawn to the gorgeous Mr. Montand, who plays the amorous cad with such aplomb. Anthony Perkins' character is a needy, immature, almost creepy stalker. It's an unusual performance. The film is based on Françoise Sagan's Aimez-vous Brahms? and the rich and romantic sounds of Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F add to the drama.

I heartily recommend Goodbye Again to those who enjoy films with romance, heartbreak, and beautiful music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Again, December 11, 1999

This review is from: Goodbye Again [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Any fan of Ingrid Bergman and Brahms must own this video. This movie, set in Paris in the early `60s, was made solely to give Bergman a chance to let out all the stops and flaunt her incredible range. The depth of her vulnerability and strength will astonish you. Anthony Perkins is charming. Not only is the acting superb, the soundtrack (based on variations of a Brahms march) compliments the story perfectly.

4.0 out of 5 stars An underrated gem., September 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Goodbye Again [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you like movies about love, romance, and the pain of breaking up, then this one is for you. Ingrid Bergman is flawless in her role (and in her beauty). Anthony Perkins does a fine job, but at times he seems almost too silly. Better experts than myself will have to determine if that's just the character he plays or if it is his own personality peeking through. There is quite a contrast between his character and the one played by Yves Montand. Montand's is the ultimate in sophistication, rarely showing his vulnerable side. When he admits to having one-night stands with many other girls ("That's just the way I am"), and he sees the hurt it causes Bergman, you want to smack him.

The Bergman/Perkins romance is bittersweet. Once is it seen that it will not last, the pain they feel you can almost feel yourself.

This is an excellent film.
