Movie Reviews of Cirque Du Soleil - Corteo
Movie Review: As brilliant as I expected @}->----
Summary: 5 Stars
I am such a huge fan of Cirque Du Soleil and I was so disappointed not to be able to see this live in LA while there recently (so instead I bought the DVD in Las Vegas at the boutique at the Bellagio while waiting to see O for the second time).
As always, the custumes, make-up, music and artistry are more incredible than you can adequately describe. And while nothing can compete with actually being there, at least in this dvd you can see the show from all angles. Sometimes you are looking at it like you are part of the audience and other times you are seeing it from up above the stage.
The chandelier scene is one of my favourites. It's at the beginning and there are two huge chandeliers from which the dancers weave in and out of them making it look so easy. There are beds/trampolines which are great - they can jump from bed to bed and one guy is using his headboard as his jumping platform to gain height and do cool flips. One girl does a continuous series of flips which are really cool, until they are all told to go to sleep by a strict man with a whip. Angels float through the air and again, the costumes are fantastic. There is also a tremendous scene with large hoops that is amazing.
I really love this show. I only wish I saw it live. However, this is a very good substitute and you almost feel like you are there in person. I found this totally enjoyable, funny and extremely entertaining. I'd have given this 10 stars if I could and if you are a fan of Cirque Du Soleil, then you'll love this too.
Movie Review: Totally Engrossing Operatic,Dramatic,Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
CORTEO is not greatly related to the other Cirque shows in that the Drama,use of dramatically rich deep tones and the magnificent musical score could (and have done so to me)take you back in time to the richness of past centuries. Corteo involves the complete cast for most of the peformance as they either play instruments or sing in chorus. Yes, there are lovely and clever circus performances by some of the best artistes around, but they seem to me to take second place, although incorporate perfectly,into this magnificent performance.
Not one for the lighthearted La Nouba, Saltimbanco, Varekai lovers, but one which is so far above and beyond all the other Cirques', a treasure, a complete immersion in sound and sight. Such a pity it could not be Rated "OUT OF THIS WORLD" as it certainly deserves, and yes, I will watch it again tomorrow--I'm totally hooked on Corteo.
Movie Review: CIRQUE NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME
Summary: 5 Stars
How does Cirque du Soleil come up with new and original ideas over and over again? They never seem to lose creativity and Corteo continues this trend. The funeral procession scene with the scampering body-less shoes is just pure genius. And drummer, Kit Chatham, is the coolest Cirque musician ever. I also love that most of (or all) the cast members sing. Even though there are acts that have appeared in earlier shows (teeterboard, trampolines, etc.), they have found new ways to present these acts so that the routine feels fresh. I have been a Cirque du Soleil fan for ten years and I swear ten years from now I will remain a loyal fan, as I'm sure their imaginative influence will continue to fortify.Movie Review: Amazingly Amazaing
Summary: 5 Stars
Corteo is one of the greatest Cirque shows ever created. This DVD captures almost all the magic of it(because you can never have the same feeling as actually seeing it live ;] ) Even though it is a recording, it is a much better one than Cirque's older ones, like Saltimbanco or other DVDs that had over-lighting or slow-motion shots, which get pretty annoying. The Corteo dvd is amazing, and doesn't make you dizzy after watching it! You'll love the show, performers, set, costumes, and especially the musics, alot of which has been changed recently...so see it live, too!!Movie Review: My Absolute Favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fortunate to have seen this show live--not once, but twice--last fall when it was in Minneapolis. Of all the Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen live and on DVD this is by far my all time favorite show! The music is absolutely gorgeous, the angels' costumes are beautiful and the humor is wonderful. It is truly a celebration of a clown's life. Needless to say, I highly recommend adding the DVD to your Cirque du Soleil collection--and by all means go see the show live if it comes to your city!
