Movie Reviews of The Sissi Collection

Movie Review: Romantic View of the Austria at It's Peak
Summary: 5 Stars

This beloved film series has been awaited by American fans for a long time. The main films have been beautifully restored and show Austria at it's peak through a romantic lens as the films examine the courting, marriage and life of Sissi, Empress of Austria. In addition to lovely and colorful shots of Austrian palaces and countryside, this is a nostalgic and fond remembrance of a gilded empire seen through from the personal perspective of the most popular royal woman in the history of the Habsburgs. The difficulties are glossed over, but you're not buying history here. This is a sympathetic postcard from the Ancien Regime.

Movie Review: Finally, at last!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I watched "Forever My Love" many, many years ago and loved it! I wanted to read more about Sisi. Then several years ago I found a set of tapes in French and got it. The scenery in these films are breathtaking. I also have a tape of "Forever my Love". I am looking forward to the German language DVD set with English subtitles so that I have a more detailed understanding of the action. I also have the Young Victoria movie in French and it is delightful, too. The Sissi movies are based on a true event, but it is highly fictionalized, though it does not take away from my enjoyment of the movies.

Movie Review: Sissi, my Princess of Contra Mundum!
Summary: 5 Stars

When the movie Sissi came out in Puerto Rico, I was just a sprouting teen. Sissi and her story blew me away. I always wondered what happened to the series and if I will ever see it again. Then one day recently, as I was browsing for movies in your European category, there it was! Beautifully restored, in original German with captions in English. A feast to all my senses. My set is now traveling to places, for I wanted to share it with my niece and she is just as delighted as I am. Thank you, Amazon, for making this almost senior a young, vulnerable woman once again.

Movie Review: Sissi
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this triology its my favorite movie since i was 5 years old, and now , i cant believe they release it on english :D trust me when i said its worth it buying this movie, aldo its not the same as the real history of sissi's life but i like the movie better, the real Elizabeth should have been more like Romy Schneider but we cant change the past.. i love it anyways because i love her story even when i know its sad but thats why i like the movie so much i can imagen that was the real story :D

Movie Review: Remembering Sissi
Summary: 5 Stars

This series was my original German "teacher" after I had moved to Munich several years ago, not knowing anything but "danke" and "bitte". Wathching these movies not only helped in building my language skills, but also gave me a true love of the beauty of Bavaria and Austria and a true sense of the pride the inhabitants have in their regions. I wish we had more access to "original language" films from the earlier days of filmmaking and less of the junk we Americans manage to produce today.
