Aria Reviews
An interesting proposal!
You must watch this film as a true artistic experiment and nothing else. It' s a successful encounter of well talented filmmakers who gave the best of themselves in order to create and recreate the Opera and extend the range of its possibilities.
Even the Men Can Cry
There comes a time when you are exposed to a film...to a song...to a photograph...to a piece of history that sends you to a place where you either want to be...or wish to avoid.
I saved the film "ARIA" for Father's Day...because when I began to watch it six months ago I was quickly enveloped in an aura of nostalgia that tugged at my heart.
I don't know how to review such a film as "ARIA". There's never been anything like it, nor will there be again. It is cinematic brilliance...cinematic brilliance...cinematic brilliance. Do you get the point?
It is a visual masterpiece...a musical masterpiece...simply a piece of art!
I'd be remiss if I told you it was for everyone. This one is very much a romantic (sometimes erotic) flick I would highly recommend to the hopeless romantics on this planet. Unfortunately, that eliminates most of the men on Earth...but not me.
I don't remember the last time I cried so much...so hard...so consistently...than with this operatic, eroti,. connectic, endearing...and sometimes tragic epic.
It is filled with love...with pain...with hope...and joy...and sprinkled with passion...with eternal love...with lost dreams...with hopeful fantasies...with ART!
Many films have left me speechless...this one will never find a way to keep my trap shut.
Maybe it's the romance in me that provoked the tears...but this film is one that goes straight to the heart...the soul...the ears and the tears. If you've ever been in love...lost a love...yearned for love...or simply enjoyed the thought of being in love..."ARIA" is for you.
See it with a loving friend. I swear you'll swap tissues...you'll hug...you'll cry out loud...
and that's what makes this film such an epic of the heart. What's wrong with tears? What's wrong with wanting...having...losing...possessing the strength of eternal love and passion? Isn't that what life is all about?
All of this is captured without a script. The soul is orchestrated by operatic classics.
It is profound sound...visual candy that only a cinematic artist could capture on film.
This one was made for PR...for me. It will go down as one of the finest films I have ever seen.
Only one hint...it is a series of vignettes that build in intensity. The star-studded cast includes many classic actors and actresses...but their challenge in this ditty was to capture your heart without a script. Guess what? They do.
Here's the box. Go out...rent or buy this box...along with some Kleenex...a bottle of Chardonnay...and hold the hand of someone you love. I, regretably, was home alone...and when I let Stan (my dog) in the house after the film...he never received a better back rub (scratch behind the ears). I'm still lost in "ARIA". The tranquil mood...the imagery...the beautiful music will live with me forever. Phew! This one was simply awesome!
