Customer Reviews of Oedipus Rex
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE re-issue this master piece!!! A dear friend of mine rented this one night from Tower Records when I was just staring college. He said it would blow my mind and was he right!! It made me realize that singing opera wasn't just standing still and singing, it can be a beautiful and artistic adventure.
What ever company owns the rights to this video, I wish they would re-release it, I'd love to have a copy on DVD too! If you ever find this, buy it!! You'll have a rare find and a delight of the senses...
A fascinating retelling of greek drama
This is an amazing interpretation of Oedipus Rex. Between Igor Stravinski's powerful use of music and voice and Julie Taymor's infamously amazing use of set and recreation of available space, this video goes far beyond amazing. The symbolism in music and spectacle add to the modern trials of an ancient figure. That..and its a whole lot of fun to watch!
attn philips accountants; release this on dvd
with a plethora of very dull, paint by number james levine by the book operas on film this is an absolute must. it is daring, refreshingly original, startling, graphic and unforgettable.
taymor has of course made a name for herself since but i still remember vividly the first time i saw this.
if this is ever released again buy it immeidately.
now, would the accountants at philips please act like you care an iota for the very people who buy your product and release this on dvd for longer than 5 minutes? or would you at least re release it on vhs.
thank you have a nice day.
