Movie Reviews of The Star Maker
Movie Review: did we even see the whole movie?
Summary: 3 Stars
I LOVE tornatore, I liked this film. i think anyone who loves seeing italy and italian culture should add a star too. that being said, i wonder, how much of this film did we see? the box does, as a reviewer pointed out, feature a ruby-lipped woman that just does not sell this movie for what it is. but what gets me, is there are three pictures on the back, and two of them arent in the film!i know that every copy other than the italian original and the korean version of "Malena" (highly reccommended for tornatore fans) were shortened by 11 minutes by miramax.. perhaps there was too much sex in the film for american censure; perhaps now there's not emough character development in the movie to completely fall in love with it. the other reviewers hit the nail on the head about the sobering effect of witnessing people expose their lives for the chance at fame, but either way, before the cutting room floor or after, there's something missing from the main character of this film. if any of you know where it is please tell me.
Movie Review: Review are better than the movie
Summary: 3 Stars
It's not a bad movie but after reading the reviews I would imagine it to be much more interesting. The plot lacks one main line, it has many small stories, touching and true but sometimes it looks like documentary. Beautiful scenery of Sicily. If I had been given choice to buy it or not again I wouldn't.
