DVD Review: The Most Spectacular Version of "A Christmas Carol"!
Summary: 5 Stars
This version combines ballet dancing, stage and video effects, costuming, acting (pantomiming) and singing, to produce a spectacular Christmas movie.
Unfortunately, I didn't recognize any of the carols in it. However, my room-mate recognized "The Boar's Head Carol," which I since discovered has been popular in Great Britain since the sixteenth century. During this song, dancers carry around a charger with a large boar's head on it.
Besides the unusual songs (to my uneducated ear), another thing that struck me as unique about this version of "A Christmas Carol," is that it's the only one I can think of which included simulated sex scenes by "prostitutes" in the pawn shop scene introduced by the Gost of Christmas Yet-to-Come! Not to worry! This scene isn't too graphic for minors, although I would suggest parental guidance.
Everything about this production is spectacular! For me, the only thing missing is dialogue, which you can interject, if you're familiar with the novel, anyway.
This version compares favorably to the version starring Kesley Grammar and Jennifer Love Hewitt - the main difference being that Kelsey's version includes speaking parts. I regard this version as the most spectacular I've ever scene!
