Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Few contemporary political figures of this century have been as controversial and outspoken, and even misunderstood, as Imelda Marcos, the former Philippine First Lady and widow of the late Ferdinand Marcos, who was the president of the Philippines for 21 years. "Imelda" marks the first time that Mrs. Marcos agreed to tell her story in this feature documentary that details her rise from humble provincial origins to become one of the richest and most powerful women in contemporary history. This documentary, told in English in rare original interviews features scenes from her daily life and archival footage. Where some Filippino language is spoken there are English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imeldific, February 27, 2005
Never has a documentary been so mezmerizing as Imelda. The documentary gives an inside look to one of living history's engaging and influential ladies. This has more to offer than her wide shoe collection, trace her majestic beauty captured on screen. Even Catherine Zeta Jones hails herself as the next Imelda Marcos.

The documentary itself was almost not able to see the day of light when Madame Imelda tried to halt its screening in the Philippines, but later on gave in provided that the word documentary be stripped out from the feature.

Up till now, she has a way to place you under her trance, be entralled and become one of her loyalistas. Highly recommended.

Oscar missed out on a great feature. what a shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars She's amazing..., June 25, 2008
Having grown up in the Philippines at the height of the Marcos years, it's amazing to see Imelda being, well, Imelda. She's brilliant and, it seems, entirely mad.

For all the criticism she and her husband recieved, they certainly did so much for the Philippines...certainly far more than anyone since or prior. A pity that they came off the rails.

Anyway, a fascinating story of one wild woman!
