Title: Touching, tragic, yet flawed
Product review: This wonderful production of the rock opera of the same name is truly a grat achievement for all involved. Madonna gives what is almost certainly the only film performance she'll be remembered kindly for, and Banderas makes a very compelling, slightly sinister, Che. Jonathan Pryce does a solid job as Juan Peron, though he does tend to talk through his songs as opposed to sing them. There is, however, one serious flaw I would like to warn prospective buyers/viewers of: the soundtrak was recorded separately from the film, and, while one cannot really fault director Alan Parker for the decision, one can blame him for its effect, which is to make the whol film look almost dubbed. It is usually quite obvious the characters are not singing, especially when their mouths are not moving! All in all, though, well worth wacthing.
