Editorial Review:
This long-awaited adaptation of the Broadway musical, directed by Alan Parker (Fame, The Commitments), features Madonna in her award-winning performance as Eva Peron, the controversial and inspirational First Lady of Argentina, as well as the score from the long-running Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. The story of Peron's rise to power with her husband (Jonathan Pryce) is narrated in song by peasant insurrectionist Che (Antonio Banderas), as Evita's glamour, poise, and ultimate tragedy inspire a nation in the midst of political and social upheaval. The film is a powerful one, visually stunning and epic in its scope, and yet highly emotional in both the well-known songs and the performances. Pryce portrays a deeply flawed man, ruthless and yet devoted to his wife. Banderas is a swashbuckling figure, instilling passion in the heart of Eva Peron. And Madonna gives a strong and commanding performance as a woman who loves her husband and loves her people but must fight the stirring passion inside her. Featuring "You Must Love Me," an Academy Award-winning song written for the film, Evita is vivid and powerful entertainment for people who love musicals for both stage and screen. --Robert Lane

Great condition!
2009-08-04 - Thank you for your speedy delivery of the DVD Avita.... my 83 year old Mother has wanted this movie for a long time....it was in the condition (excellent) as you stated. A+ for your honesty.

Nothing like the play
2009-07-25 - This movie is not in any way faithful to the hit Broadway show. It has many of the same tunes as the oringinal broadway musical, but many of the words have been changed, and do not sound right. I say, leave A.L.W.'s music as it was written. Some of the songs seem to be made up for the movie. If you are hoping to see a movie faithful to the original broadway production with great actors and amazing songs, you probably will not enjoy this movie. I am a huge "Evita" fan and was extremely dissapointed. If you don't like the original Evita and are a Madonna fan, though, you will enjoy this movie.

Madonna & Eva Peron'----Two Closely-related Personas
2009-07-15 - As people are all too quick to throw her under the bus when her acting was sub-par and/or just plain ol' bad (and often it has been)....those same individuals need to do just the opposite and sing her praises when she does exactly the OPPOSITE as she does here in Evita. The people voting for the Golden Globes sure thought she was worthy and deserving of certain honors being bestowed upon her as well.

A superb effort that reaped dividends, too, was put forth by the QUEEN OF POP in her portrayal of Eva Peron (Queen of Pop NOT to be confused with that highly talented yet VERY, VERY strange 'former' King of Pop and his 'cleft' chin and his '2 ONLY surgeries' total ever performed on his nose----Michael Jackson's own answer to Barbara Walters question in mid 90's interview ---.

This was a role that Madonna was born to play. But, while that may be true in many respects, doesn't translate into her then automatically having it then come to fruition. Yet, upon being selected to portray Eva Peron for the Evita film version, Madonna nails it completely by leaving nothing to chance and pouring her entire mind and soul into this role. Similarly, just like her impeccable, one-of-a-kind, live shows are true works of art and genious in their 'own' right....I believe the same can be said, too, for the kind of work, BOTH acting & singing----SINGING, too, which did NOT come easily by any means-----the excellent job she did in MAKING the role of Eva Peron her own and to then see that effort come to fruition and ultimately resonate so well to audience members alike.



An awesome film!
2009-07-12 - For years, many actresses exposed an interest in playing the part of Evita. One of the most rediculous was Whitney Houston. Please.
Madonna not only looked quite a bit like Eva Peron, but Madonna's performance in the film almost makes you believe it is Eva.
Superbly photographed, the story is brisk and goes from point A to point B seamlessly. There are no lulls at all. So your interest is not compromised.
The music is well done, and for the most part appropriate, as at times, it is difficult to film a stage play and make it all look plausable.
The price was right, and the quality of the transfer is excellent.
5 stars!
