Product Description

Few times in the history of Hollywood has a film been released with the scope and daring of EVITA! Now, experience this landmark achievement as entertainment megastar Madonna -- in the role of a lifetime -- joins Antonio Banderas (ASSASSINS, DESPERADO) for the year's most talked about motion picture event! Directed by award-winning filmmaker Alan Parker (MISSISSIPPI BURNING), EVITA is the riveting true-life story of Eva Peron (MADONNA), who rose above childhood poverty and a scandalous past to achieve unimaginable fortune and fame. Despite widespread controversy, her passion changed a nation forever! Winner of the coveted Academy Award(R) for Best Song (1996) and 3 Golden Globe Awards (Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Song) -- critics nationwide hailed EVITA as a triumphant must-see masterpiece -- and so will you!

Amazon.com

After more than a decade of false starts and several potential directors, the popular Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical finally made it to the big screen with Alan Parker (The Commitments) at the helm and Madonna in the coveted title role of Argentina's first lady, Eva Perón. A triumph of production design, costuming, cinematography, and epic-scale pageantry, the film follows the rise of Eva Perón to the level of supreme social and political celebrity in the 1940s. Like Madonna, Perón was a material girl (she was only 33 when she died); she was instrumental in the political success of her husband, Juan Perón (Jonathan Pryce). But Eva was also a supremely tragic figure whose life was essentially hollow at its core despite the lavish benefits of her nearly goddess-like status. The film has a similar quality--it's visually astonishing but emotionally distant, and benefits greatly from the singing commentary of Ché (Antonio Banderas), who serves as a passionate chorus to guide the viewer through the elaborate parade of history. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 starsA Vast Under Appreciated Gem
By Dr R P I on July 22, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I was compelled to write this review because of negativity galore in other reviews. I am unbiased because I had no exposure to any of the original stage productions. A much listened to disc "The Premiere Collection" gave me the London West End's (1st production) Julie Covington's interpretation of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." Here Madonna's interpretation pales in comparison. Perhaps Patti Lupone was magnificent on Broadway however she overcame extremely negative feelings and I quote her: "Evita was the worst experience of my life. I was screaming my way through a part that could only have been written by a man who hates woman. And I had no support from the producers... It was like Beirut, and I fought like a banshee."

My review is based upon my Blu Ray version purchased from Amazon. The Disc's extra "The Making of Evita" brought into focus why this production works for me. Alan Parker stated that he went about making a movie in which dialogue was sung rather than spoken. The vastness of the sets and use of extras by the hundreds ( ? near thousands ) coupled with the lush musical score was very involving, personally. The 5.1 sound in my Home Theater was wonderful. My first exposure to this work was on Direct TV and one of the reasons for my Amazon purchase was to express my opinion.

The outstanding performance by the headliners was given by Banderas in my opinion, expressing great vocal sensitivity, range, and strength; his character was also the best developed. An additional highlight was Parker's close ups' of ordinary Argentinian's faces with wonderful lighting in emotional moments.

5.0 out of 5 starsEvita is an amazing & touching movie.
By Crystal on June 1, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
When I first saw Evita it was my senior year in high school that was back in 2001. My cinema teacher played the movie. When I found it had Madonna in it I was like oh great. I wasn't a fan then.

It only took a few minutes before I was hooked on the movie. I love all the songs in the movie. There is not one bad song. It's rare I say this about a movie but this one in my opinion is perfect from the second it starts to the second it ends.

As soon as I saw the movie I called my local mall and I was thrilled they had the double disc complete soundtrack.

I think Madonna & Antonio Banderas were both amazing. Jonathan Pryce was great as Juan Peron. When I started researching the Perons after I saw the movie I was amazed how much Jonathan Pryce looks like the real Juan Peron. Jonathan Pryce was also close to the same age as Juan Peron. I can definitely see why he was picked to play Juan Peron.

Madonna looks so much like Eva Peron it's in a way kind of eerie. I do agree with Madonna no one else could have played Eva Peron but her. I don't believe in reincarnation but if it did exist I would have to say Madonna is the reincarnation of Eva Peron. I also agree with Madonna when she said she was born to play Eva Peron.

I did own the regular DVD years ago. I decided to buy the Blu Ray edition. I love this movie and I know it is one I will watch over and over. Even though it cost twice as much to get the Blu Ray I know I will get my money's worth out of it.

My two favorite songs are Oh What A Circus and The Waltz For Eva And Che. One reason I love Oh What A Circus is Antonio Banderas sounded so passionate about the loss of Eva Peron. What I am about to say is a spoiler. If you haven't seen the movie you might not want to read this part.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsEvita the movie misses out on much of the magic of the stageplay, but is still more than worthwhile
By Steffan B. Aletti on June 18, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I saw Evita probably six or seven times on Broadway -- mostly with Deren Altay, who was magnificent. Madonna is neither Lupone or Altay, but she is more than adequate though she doesn't have the voice of her stage counterparts and her music is transposed down. IF you want to hear Evita as it should be sung, get the Broadway cast CD (NOT the British cast CD -- Elaine Page may be a great actress, but her odd sprechstimme does the music no service). Banderas has a surprisingly nice voice, but his English is so problematic that many of Rice's clever lines are lost in the thickets of his tortuous accent. Kudos to Jonathon Price, a fine actor who sings well, though he is a softer, less hard-edged Peron than as he was played on the stage.

But, since neither Lupone or Altay appear to have been recorded on video, this movie is IT. Much of the magic of the staging is gone, since the movie is shot very literally. One misses the magical moment when Peron and Evita meet, as the entire cast freezes in place while they sing a duet; or the game of musical chairs while the generals sing "Politics the art of the possible' or at the very end Peron fleeing offstage, as the real one fled Argentina into exile; but the witty lyrics that surrealistically tell Evita's story with surprising historical accuracy are all here. The movie's orchestrations are bigger and flabbier than the leaner, more muscular stage scoring, and the addition of an extra aria and music does a disservice to the pace of the story. Well, beggars can't be choosers, so we can all be grateful that Hollywood produced a decent, workmanlike Evita that carries most of the punch of the stageplay if not most of the magic.
