FRIDA by Julie Taylor- DVD Movie - 2DVD box Set - English/French

Frida DVD featuring award-winning film Frida from director Taymor, Julie - featuring Salma Hayek. Format NTSC Contributeur Taymor, Julie Langue Anglais, Français Sous-titres : ‏ : ‎ Anglais, Espagnol Nombre de disques 2 Fabricant Alliance Films Condition: Good - pre-owned The first disc begins with a 38-minute interview with Salma Hayek which, with her memories of the film, works in much the same way as a commentary track. Director Julie Taymor takes center stage for the rest of the 2-disc set. In addition to an engaging commentary track, there are two interviews with the director, a Q&A session following an AFI screening, and an even better one with Bill Moyers. The second disc is arranged as short featurettes (5 to 7 minutes) on the making of the film—production design, cinematography, locations, two visual-effects pieces, etc.—but, curiously, not one with the Oscar-winning makeup team. All of these segments are better produced and more interesting than most DVD extras, but there is little biographical information about Frida (letting the film speak for itself). The musical material draws the most attention: an interview with singer and Frida’s lover Chavela Vargas, Hayek interviewing composer Elliot Goldenthal, and Goldenthal’s own commentary track explaining his Oscar-winning score.
