DVD Reviews of Choose Me [Region 2]DVD Review: Choose Me Summary: 5 StarsOverlooked film. Keith Carradine, Genevieve Bujold, Very Smart with a wry sense of humor. Early John Larroquette.
DVD Review: Can I choose an unedited Choose Me? Summary: 2 StarsI was disappointed that eight minutes of great erotic love scenes, the best part of the film, were edited out of the video version. There is a lot of cruel labeling and stereotyping of David Carradine's character. Don't people with mental disabilities have enough obstactles in employment, marriage et cetera without the media's often criminal stereotypes? Add two stars for the unedited version of this film.
DVD Review: I adore this strange and complex but completely artistic movie Summary: 5 StarsLeslie Ann Warren! Gorgeous and so so so talented! She lights up the screen with her brilliant beautiful smile, and backs everything up with deep talent.
Genevieve Bujold, another beauty, in a different way, equally talented...the changes she goes through as she learns about her own sexuality.
Keith Carredine- Not just an interesting and photogenic face with a dancers body... he too has the acting skill to convey the complexity of his character and how despite how he screws so many things up, his character;s heart wants love...
THe other actors and actresses... Rae Dawn Chong... excellent.
It is a very "80's" style movie, stylistic and somewhat strange... characters intermingling and intersecting... a very unique story about people;s desires to connect.
I dont want to sit and rehash the plot line, suffice to say it is a terrific artistic movie and well worth watching more than once.
The music by the incredible Teddy Pendergrass so perfectly outlines the story too. His songs play a huge part of the movie's structure...
DVD Review: A REAL RIOT AND ALSO QUITE ENTICING AND SEXY Summary: 5 StarsThis is one great film. It's a lot of fun and it's also very sexy, surprising,and really a kick to watch. Women will live vicariously through Lesley Ann Warren's character ! You will either identify with her a lot, or you'll wish you could.
Lesley was perfect for this film ,and her "lovers" were all very charismatic. The plot is very busy and never dull. The whole cast was great. It's one of those films that seemed destined to "fit" and come to life. Original and a real blast.
DVD Review: Does someone dislike Alan Rudolph in the DVD industry? Summary: 5 StarsThis is one of the best films ever made, solidly in my top 100. Look at the director, the cast, the strength of this great film, and then look at the ton of garbage being released every week on DVD, and ask yourself why "Trouble in Mind" and "Welcome to LA" are missing. And for that matter, note that there are only 11 reviews posted here for this film. An puzzling injustice.
Description of Choose Me [Region 2]Love is a mysterious game for the players in Choose Me, writer-director Alan Rudolph's uniquely eccentric spin on matters of the heart. A comedic drama steeped in a nocturnal, smooth-jazz atmosphere, the production is rooted in the mid-1980s but laced with a timeless film noir attitude. Its chamber-piece characters collide and carom from one to the other, each interaction revealing clues about how passions either cloud or clarify our paths to romantic fulfillment. Mickey (Keith Carradine) isn't the pathological liar he's supposed to be; sex-talk radio host Nancy Love (Geneviève Bujold) uses an assumed name and knows far less about sex than she lets on; and bar owner Eve (Lesley Ann Warren) knows too much about men but not enough about love. When they meet and mingle, Rudolph (using Teddy Pendergrass songs as the perfect mood-setting soundtrack) orchestrates a passionate dance of sex, sadness, and self-discovery that's wittily observant and altogether beguiling. --Jeff Shannon
