Movie Reviews of One From the Heart
Movie Review: A pre-LOST IN TRANSLATION ?
Summary: 5 Stars
More than 10 years ago I saw this film on TV which was not that big event. I remember the city lights, Nastassja's new hair-cut at the time the film was produced, the characters not knowing what what to do next, all these 'pending' feelings which I like very much. Last week I discovered by accident that there is a DVD version available which I ordered immediately. Now I have to wait until it will reach Germany, I think it can be discovered again and compared to Sofia's version of people lost in big cites.Movie Review: a dream full of lights and colour
Summary: 5 Stars
The story is very simple, i agree. But the setting is wonderful, the neon lights, the colors, the changing dimensions of the scene sets, that artificial paper moon, Nastassia Kinski walking on a thin rope, the charming dance scenes, the people doing carnival on a strange Las Vegas strip. This is a music video that really breaks your heart and then fills it again with light and colour.
Not for heartless grey people, for sure.
Movie Review: Not a Typical Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
"One From the Heart" is to a typical movie as an abstract painting is to a photograph. It is significant that the opening scene is of a large sign in the desert that reads, "Reality Wreckers".
If you are only interested in photographs, this is not for you. If you are open to something more dreamlike, you might enjoy this film. I absolutely loved this movie.
Movie Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
The film is dated, thats for sure. It's still an excellent DVD though. The amount of content is incredible.My favorites are the rare Tom Waits songs on the 2nd disc, and the "soundtrack only" audio track for the movie.
Recommended!
Movie Review: Still amazing after all these years
Summary: 4 Stars
If a piece of art is measured by its influence, One From The Heart rates on top. This is pure american movie art, something that get's harder to see every year. It's the result of a man's dream.Along with The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, One From The Heart beautifully illustrates the behaviors, relations and also how beautiful and pleasant a cinema session can be. Unfortunatelly it was way ahead of its time.
I won't comment the storyline as you can read about it on others reviews.
How's this DVD? Image - 9, Sound - 10.
If I were Mr. Coppola I'd have presented this piece of art lover's with a "Director's Version", including the deleted scenes, along with the original version. They add a lot to the story and since this is DVD, additional minutes wouldn't hurt anyone. This is the only reason why it's not receiving 5 stars. The soundtrack is not DTS but it's nice and clear. The extras add a lot to the understanding of Mr. Coppola's passion, fight for this movie and its commercial "failure".
A movie like this happens only once in a lifetime. It took me 20 years to see something somewhat similar - Moulin Rouge. And Baz Luhrman assumes he had great influence from it.
Those who love cinematography, art direction, touching soundtracks, and once in a while like to fall in love must reserve a place for this loving piece of art in their DVDs collection. Go for it and you'll understand from every scene why it is "One From The Heart" of Mr. Coppola.
