5.0 out of 5 stars Personal Favourite, 1 Aug 2002

G. Miller (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phantom Of The Paradise - Dvd (DVD)

I first saw this movie in the 70s as a double bill with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", which was the film I actually went to see. I'd never heard of "Phantom" before, but enjoyed it far more than "TRHPS". The movie is best described as a black comedy/theatrical rock/horror/fantasy, you'll see what I mean. Based loosely around the "Phantom Of The Opera" story and the legend of "Faust", but in a modern (70's) rock setting. Directed by the now legendary Brian De Palma, he brings excellent performances from Paul Williams (deminutive American singer/songwriter, best known in the UK for the "Bugsy Malone" score) as the villan, Gerrit Graham as the brilliantly camp character "Beef", and William Finley as the "Phantom" (how anyone can convey such emotion with just one eye showing still amazes me). De Palma also uses his split screen technique to good effect. Looks very dated, but apparently a cult classic now (I thought it was just me). This is a movie you'll love or hate. Definately different. Hope this was helpful to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See if you like Rock Musicals, 1 Dec 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Phantom Of The Paradise - Dvd (DVD)

Great film, great soundtrack (be wary of the CD though, see my review on that) A brilliant satire on the Rock industry mixed with a touch of Phantom of the Opera and possibly just a nod to The Rocky Horror Show. Well worth buying for "Beefs" antics alone.

In the top 5 of my all time favourite movies. It is just perfect. Acting, music, use of the split screen, pace, balance of the quiet and action scenes. Seen it about 60 times. Read more
