Movie Reviews of Cosi
Movie Review: A Reborn of Cosi Fan Tutte ...
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cosi" is a great film I think. I watched in the television and I simply liked it very much. After that, I bought the DVD of the film. The most impressive part of this movie is simplicity I think. Yes, it is a simple film but there are secret interpretions and comments about the opera of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, "Cosi Fan Tutte". This is mainly why I liked this movie. Simplicity is something magical I think. Everybody can say a lot of things about Mozart, his opera "Cosi Fan Tutte" with complicated words but this movie showed me what a mental patient can think about this opera and honestly, I gained a different point of view. Their simple ideas were really very powerful. They seem to be not interested in playing in the opera "Cosi Fan Tutte" but when you watch them, watch their actions, you understand that, they believe in playing this opera than any other can. They maybe mentally impaired but their hearts, their souls are as healthy as or maybe more healthy than a mentally normal person. The second important thing of the film for me is the characterisation. The perfect match of the characters really impress me so much. They, the patients always argue with each other but I sense a strange bound between them. So, if you want to see a lovely comedy, if you want to gain a different point of view, if you want to watch two lovely, beautiful and talented actresses - Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths - and if you want to witness to the reborn of the opera "Cosi Fan Tutte", I strongly recommend you to watch the movie "Cosi".Movie Review: Keeps you laughing from beginning to end.
Summary: 5 Stars
Louis is a young amateur director badly in need of a job. He finds one in Sydney, working for a government program that rehabilitates mentally ill patients. Louis is suppose to direct the patients in a production of his choice but is completely overwhelmed by Roy, a patient, who wants to put on a production of the opera Cosi Fan Tutte by none other than Mozart!
Roy doesn't seem to care that his fellow patients can't speak Italian or for that matter even sing very well. Louis bonds with his players and manages to produce a witty, brilliant, bizarre production while the players accomplish the unbelievable.
The movie stars Toni Collette (who had a war of nerves with producers who wanted her to shave her underarms. She did not want to, believing she was keeping in character...she won). Also featuring Ben Mendelsohn, Rachel Griffiths, Barry Otto and many others who keep you laughing from beginning to end.
Movie Review: A collector's item for Collette fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a fan of Toni Collette's acting talents ever since watching her play Muriel in 'Muriel's Wedding' (A film I've watched so many times that I'm ashamed to admit the number). I was just as enamored with her brilliant performance in this wonderful film. In fact, the entire cast in 'Cosi' are absolutely brilliant and I laughed so hard I know I sounded like a hen about to lay an egg. Once you've encountered the unique characters in this movie they will become unforgettable. The task of a director attempting to put together a difficult play casting mentally ill patients is a witty concept in itself, but the movie's director, Mark Joffe, molds the story into a revolutionary comedy while also bringing to the surface the underlying struggles of mental illness, relationships, and the all-consuming magic of the theatre. Bravo!!!

Movie Review: Fab Aussie movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked Muriel's wedding you will probably love this as well. Not quite as dramatic as Muriel, but with a similar quirky sense of humour and great performances by some Austrailian stalwarts. Barry Otto is fansastic, you just want to slap him a lot of the time, and Ben Mendelsohn is typically good. It is a shame he has been typcast as commic relief in the US as he is way better than that. If you like music, comedy and something a little off beat and different, give it a go. Strong themes of fidelity and what it means throughout, so be warned. You probably don't want to watch it with a recent ex :-)Movie Review: ****I LOVED COSI****
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Toni Collette and was watching some of her movies that I missed & this was one of them.It's wonderful!!...I saw Toni in Wild Party on Broadway & already knew she had a great singing voice..but she's sings two songs in this movie acapella(with no musical accompaniment)....that's when you know someone can truely sing!!.....so is there anything this woman can't do??.....Rachel Griffiths is also a major part of the movie & didn't know they made another movie beside Muriel's Wedding!..see the movie it's great
