Editorial Reviews
The multi-award-winning dance film Amelia (2002) explores the
use of point technique using extended intertwining solos,
complex partnering sequences and extreme speed to generate
powerful performances with unexpected moments of tender
emotion and serenity.
Lock uses intricate choreography for both camera and dancers,
creating amazing and constantly shifting points of view.
Trademark performances, brilliant and relentless, combined with
the delicate sensual lighting of André Turpin and the minimalist
environment of a giant wooden box with rounded forms that
seems to have no exit, create a disturbingly exquisite and
moving experience.
The original score, written by David Lang for violin, cello, piano
and voice, combines evocative minimalism with lyrics from five
of Lou Reed's most famous works, created in the 60s for The
Velvet Underground. Bonus material/features:
Commentaries by Édouard Lock.
25 years La La La Human Steps - with a production overview,
fact sheets and unique video and photo material from celebrated
productions including Human Sex, 2, Salt, New Demons and
Infante c est destroy.
On-screen biographies of all the artists and the main creative
crew.

A Sublime Work,
By I am The Reviewer (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lang: Amelia - featuring La La La Human Steps [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
There's is nothing unnecessary in this work of art. The lines and movements are sublime. It works it's way between blazingly fast precision and slow casual confidence. There is unspoken narrative and emotive storyline, the interaction between dancers is intimate and giving... Contemporary? Yes. French influenced? Yes. But there's so much more here. If you are a fan of someone more main-stream like Mark Morris or off-beat like Philippe Decoufle, this should be in your library. Please check out some clips on YouTube before you buy.

This review is from: Lang: Amelia - featuring La La La Human Steps [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I wouldn't go to a ballet if you paid me. But this film... is arrestingly beautiful. It's so personal, so intimate, so erotic, so moving. The music is gorgeous, stark, striking---everything the film is. Watch it on youtube and see.

More modern dance than ballet. Excellent gymnastic dancing to truly ghastly music.,

This review is from: Lang: Amelia - featuring La La La Human Steps [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This disc has been a no. 1 disappointment to me and opens with monotonous, unappealing music. The flexibility of the dancers is most impressive but hard to sit though because of the excruciatingly unappealing music. To me anyway, your take might be different.
Later scenes are better but IMHO dollars are better spent elsewhere. It is obviously an impressive production so maybe it appeals to someone else who can give a more positive review. POSTSCRIPT: I thought the first bit was sped up but I've been assured this is not so. It has obvious appeal to some so I might try it again sometime. If I change my mind I'll let you all know.
