Title: DIFFICULT FILM BIOGRAPHY WORTH THE EFFORT
Review: "Isadora" is a long, challenging, frustrating, brilliant biography of the famed American dance innovator Isadora Duncan and her rise to fame in (primarily) Europe. Karel Reisz's direction and the costumes, cinematography, and score are first-rate, but the film rests on the formidable artistic shoulders of the incomparable, one-of-a-kind Vanessa Redgrave and she does not disappoint. Her accent is maddening at times, but her bravery and dedication to this role should be featured in acting classes for years to come. Along with "The Bostonians" and "Howards End", this performance ranks among her towering achievements and make the video worth buying over renting, as several viewings are needed. This director's edition cut is first-rate in quality and that cover art is sublime. Highly recommended for those in the market for something truly unique.
