Movie Review: Repurchasing Old Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
When Night Is Falling is one of my favorite lesbian films. It's beautifully filmed, with beautiful, quirky characters, electric tension between the leads, and a pure desire by the audience to see the two get together. I have owned the VHS for years, and thought it was time to invest in the DVD.Movie Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite lesbian movie! It's sensual and stunning. The love-making scene is absolutely captivating. I found love when I first saw this movie.Movie Review: A movie to restore even the most jaded soul's faith in love.
Summary: 5 Stars
I filed my first ever amazon review today and this is my second. The first was in regard to a movie I hated so much that I felt compelled to voice an opinion. And then I watched this movie again. I needed to see a non-hollywood movie. And I was justified in my belief that this lovely little movie would once again restore my faith in the art of moviemaking. On what may be my tenth viewing, I was touched, as before, by this beautiful movie. It was wonderfully written, cast, acted and directed. Even the music was well done in that it fully complemented the acting without ever being obtrusive. I had never seen many in the cast before and marvel at how truly gifted they were. I am sure that it is labeled a lesbian movie. But the romance transcends category. And it was, quite simply, a gorgeous love story. I wonder at how many truly great little movies come out of Canada. Maybe there is a different sensibility and approach to movie making. Nice though, whatever the reason. This review intentionally told nothing about the story. I simply wanted to talk about how great the story was. And, by the way, I don't have the collector's edition so I can't comment on the extras. Kind of wish I had them to comment about.Movie Review: comparison of differant releases
Summary: 3 Stars
This new release has extras the other releases don't. They are a behind the scenes footage and a short film. However, this release is not digitally remastered and not made from a clean print. My advice is to rent this through netfix to watch the extras, but purchase one of the remastered, no frills, versions to keep in your collection. Movie Review: My Favorite Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not lesbian, I'm not gay, I like all sorts of films, but this film evokes more powerful emotions in me than any other film I've ever watched. I've watched it over and over (on video), and it's not even the same things that drive the emotions. I'm hetero, and at first I must admit it was Pascale's luscious body that fascinated me. Later I liked the whole trajectory of the love story, the leaving behind of heterosexuality, the tweedy university, Canada, the established church, marriage, for the wilds of San Francisco, the circus, no sure means of support, and a lesbian relationship. (I lived just south of San Francisco for many years.) Later still I was mesmerized by the two trapeze artists who showed so overwhelmingly what trust is. I used to watch the movie over and over just to see that sequence. Then there was a time I grieved terribly for the church. The church! When did I ever even love it so much? Yet the emotions came. I agree with the other reviewer that sometimes the movie is cheesy, but also I agree it's overwhelming in its beauty. There's some wonderful humor in the film, too, including the immortal line, Oh grow up. This film has tapped into archetypal energies. I wouldn't miss it. Thank goodness it's now coming out again in DVD. Sign me up.
