Movie Reviews of Prokofiev - War and Peace / Gergiev, Othotnikov, Kirov Opera
Movie Review: Farcical Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This staging of "LfTO" is spare and modernistic, with minimal (but often inventive) sets and costumes, but the singing is first-rate and Nagano's conducting makes for an excellent handling of the music. The cast is young and vibrant (and even a bit sexy!) and the camera work helps keep you involved. A must if you are a Prokofiev fan; but it might be an eye-roller for someone looking for more traditional opera.
Summary of Prokofiev - War and Peace / Gergiev, Othotnikov, Kirov Opera
Studio: Kultur Release Date: 06/17/2003 Run time: 250 minutesThe combination of Prokofiev's masterful score with Rudolf Nureyev's choreography for the ballet company of the Paris Opera could hardly make this Romeo and Juliet anything but a success. However, as it's Nureyev, God is in the details, and while the sheer exuberance of Manuel Legris and Monique Loudieres in the leading roles is undeniable, it's the little things that count, such as Romeo's shyness as he shuffles from one foot to another in the presence of the object of his affections (it's one thing to do dying swans and amorous raptures, but not everyone can effectively choreograph a fidget). The production is visually stunning, although there's an overstatement in the glary lighting that can take one aback somewhat. --Roger Thomas, Amazon.co.uk
