Movie Reviews of Farinelli
Movie Review: Its dark, its delicious, its a masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
An outstanding film with a outstanding cast performance, there are characters for whom you will really care for, when you are witnessing them on screen, you simply feel their grief, their joy. An outstanding chemistry between Stefano Dionisi and Enrico Lo Verso who play the Broschi brothers brilliantly. The film doesn't only throw light on Baroque or simply the life of Carlo Maria Broschi, its much more than just a Biographical piece. The film is so engaging that you almost feel every single breath of the characters right from your couch. 'Farinelli' the film in simple words is a brilliant character study film and simply a delicious feast for the eyes.Movie Review: Brilliant on Every Level
Summary: 5 Stars
Any fan of the Opera and Classical Music - this is a MUST see. This movie chronicals the life of the Castrati purported to the the greatest of them all - Farinelli. Lavish costumes, sets, direction, every thing about this movie delights the senses. Brillian acting and the score is just wonderful. I've heard a recoding of the last of the Castrati and in this film a male alto and female sporano are digitally combined to replicate the voice of the Castrati - not male and not female. The practice barbaric and long discontinued, the legacy of the Castrati are preserved masterfully in this movie. I watch it again and again.Movie Review: Templar Legacy
Summary: 5 Stars
Cleverly embedded within Farinelli's story is the true legacy of the Templar Knights: a secret yogic practice for self-liberation. Haendel in the role of the Templar Grandmaster, signified by the rod with horse-head he carries. This is the most complex, multidimensional movie I've ever seen. I watched it 3 times in a row, discovering more and more subtleties each time. Symbology is flawless throughout. This is breath-taking, indeed!Movie Review: I knew nothing of this movie till I happened upon it 1 night
Summary: 5 Stars
and the memory of it still lingers in my mind in a way thats hard for me to explain to myself much less another. After reading everyone else review I better understand that sense of wonder at the whole concept. Why a castrato? A man has much stronger and larger lungs than a female and can project a note with much more force. Think of your favorate female singer with more power. A must see!Movie Review: An ignored classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This sensuous and beautiful work is for those who are not easily shocked; who love the beauty of opera and the human voice; and who don't mind a bit of experimentation.The mixing of the two voices (soprano and heldentenor) to approximate the range and power of a castrato singer is beautifully done and beautifully enacted in this film.
