Description
Celebrate 20 years of CHICAGO—the dazzling Oscar winner for Best Picture cheered by audiences and critics alike. At a time when crimes of passion result in celebrity headlines, nightclub sensation Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) and spotlight seeking Roxie Hart (Zellweger) both find themselves sharing space on Chicago's famed Murderess Row. They also share Billy Flynn (Gere), the town's slickest lawyer with a talent for turning notorious defendants into local legends. But in Chicago, there's only room for one legend.

I think there are people that hate musicals, and then they write a review about a great musical and slash it to pieces. I know people who hate Beethoven and hate Mozart, and I have to dismiss as irrelevant a review about the 9th Symphony written by somebody who hates classical music.
So, writing about musicals, I can only believe somebody who loves musicals... and of course, that somebody is ME! I love musicals. I am my best musical critic, for me, because I really KNOW musicals! I know which musicals I didn't like so much (Miss Saigon, Candide...) and which musicals I loved (Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, Beauty and the Beast, King and I, Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof... Joseph...). I have seen everything great, ten times or more, including The King and I, Man of La Mancha, Cats, Fiddler on the Roof, Evita, etc.... even Show Boat, The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, Mary Poppins, etc....
I mean... I REALLY KNOW and LOVE MUSICALS! That having been said...
After having seen Chicago on a big screen 3 or 4 times, maybe more... the verdict is: Chicago is Fabulous! It is right up there with the best of them. The songs are great, catchy, really excellent... The dancing is great, the singing is great, the coreography is beautiful... The actors are superb... Queen Latiffa, Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger are all so PERFECT for their parts... Catherine Zeta Jones won an Oscar for her role, and Richard Gere deserved to win an Oscar for his role (but he wins a long applause, from me.) He actually SINGS his own songs. He is PERFECT for the part.
And Catherine Zeta Jones... Wow! SHE IS WONDERFUL! Not only is she BEAUTIFUL, but she is TALENTED! She REALLY DANCES... not just dances, she transcends into Jazz! I was hooked on the music of Chicago for weeks...
I love the tunes, the coreography... I love Chicago... it is without a doubt in the same league as the best musicals ever... by that I mean it is in the same league as the best of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Gilbert and Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Weber, etc.
And now I write this for others: Buy this DVD! This is really a bargain. You only pay for it once, and you will have it and be able to see it many times and enjoy it for the rest of your life.
P.S.: I bought the DVD... I have watched it many times, and each time I like it more... I know I will enjoy it many times more.

No comprendo cómo puede hacerse un comentario avisando de algo que no se ha comprobado. Es probable que la advertencia de que el bluray era ZONA A haya hecho que bastantes posibles compradores no lo hayan comprado y no tengan la mejor edición de Chicago hasta la fecha. Dejémoslo claro, el bluray se puede ver en cualquier reproductor, PERO el DVD que lo acompaña necesita de un reproductor DVD multizona o deszonado. Una vez aclarado este asunto, pasemos a las características.
La calidad de imagen del blu-ray es sobresaliente, y el sonido en inglés viene en inglés 7.1 y 5.1, mientras que en español latino es 5.1. A mí me suena muy bien y no distingo entre 5 y 7. En cualquier caso, impresiona lo bien que se oye todo. Los subtítulos se limitan al inglés, no los trae en español. Respecto a los extras (todos SIN subtitular), tenemos lo siguiente:
- Chicago in the Spotlight: A Retrospective with the Cast and Crew. Más de dos horas de entrevistas y comentarios sobre la adaptación a la pantalla del musical. Está rodado en alta definición y se nota en la claridad de la imagen
- Extended Musical Performances. Casi una hora con los ensayos y las versiones extendidas de algunos números musicales. Un poco pesado de ver si no se es muy muy fan de la película.
- Comentarios del director y del guionista.
La película del DVD cuenta con idiomas y subtítulos en inglés y latino, y un extra también sin subtitular. Hay que decir que además de necesitar un reproductor adaptado, la calidad de la imagen es muy inferior al del bluray, de forma que no merece la pena a no ser por el contenido extra.
Resumiendo, aquí tenemos un blu-ray muy recomendable de Chicago, a un precio muy interesante que no defraudará a los amantes del musical. A fecha de hoy, Amazon España anuncia que sólo queda uno. Esperemos que pronto haya más disponibles.
La direction artistique est une réussite : chorégraphies et chansons endiablées (achetez la BO Chicago ça vaut le coup) comme on les aime. Le film réjouit également par sa peinture du Chicago des années 20 : une presse paresseuse et sensationnaliste, une justice corrompue, les débuts du règne de la médiatisation, mais également le défoulement de l'après-guerre, l'alcool qui coule à flot dans les cabarets alors que la Prohibition vient d'être mise en place, le jazz... C'est le règne de l'illusion. Comme le résume Billy Flinn, avocat grand manipulateur des médias : "It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus. These trials- the wholeworld- all show business.".
Les acteurs sont excellents, en tête Catherine Zeta-Jones qui rappelle évidemment Liza Minnelli dans Cabaret et John C.Reilly, très émouvant dans son numéro de clown triste. Rennée Zellweger n'a pas le talent de Catherine Zeta-Jones mais joue parfaitement la godiche arriviste. Même Richard Gere que je trouve d'habitude tellement palot allie le charme et le cynisme qui siéent à l'époque. Les personnages sont tous hypocrites, arrivistes, menteurs ou idiots et c'est tout à fait jouissif ! Chicago est joyeusement amorale : le cynisme est, ici, l'arme favorite de chacun(e) et mène droit non à la punition, mais au plus éclatant des happy ends..
Comme Cabaret , Chicago est tiré d'une comédie musicale de Broadway. Le film a remporté 6 oscars en 2002, dont celui du meilleur film, qui sont amplement mérités. Je recommande de le regarder en VOST pour ne pas perdre la saveur de l'américain des années 20.
