This is an excellent picture. Ingrid Bergman was Golda, the likeness was astounding as was the acting I cant praise it enough

I originally recorded this on VHS sometime in the early 1980's and subsequently copied it to DVD in 2008. Neither version was brilliant and many times since 2008, I have searched for a re-issue of this wonderful film on dvd. I came across this one in May this year and discovered it was made in Sweden and sold in the USA via Amazon's UK marketplaceA Woman Called Golda - 2-DVD Set. How about that? What on earth is wrong with UK dvd producers and retailers? The dvd is very good indeed, is Region 2 and remains in English with Scandinavian subtitles which are easy to turn off, although it's not quite the same procedure as usual. (You need to select which Scandinavian subtitle you want for the opening "warning", then select the "set up" option on the next screen; then you can select "no subtitles").

If this two part mini-series deserves 5 stars, then it certainly must in large part be due to the amazing performance of Ingrid Bergman. I could hardly imagine an actress more unlikely to portray this extraordinary woman who was leader of Israel in one of the most dangerous episodes in its history. But such was the talent of this fine actress that it hard to believe that you are not looking at Golda, herself.
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of all that is related in this series - but it is endowed with an extraordinary degree of authenticity. It comes over as a sort of docudrama, but never melodrama, and deals somewhat briefly with her younger life, but then extensively with her political life - down to the last fag end (and there are plenty of those!). The supporting cast is generally adequate, although Mr. Meyerson is somewhat colourless and uninteresting. Perhaps that's how he was. Anyhow, nothing can detract from the pragmatic intensity with which Bergman masterfully interprets her character.
For anyone interested in this subject I can't imagine anyone could do it better.

A Woman Called Golda
One of Ingrid Bergman's last films and a very good bio-pic of the "mother" of modern Israel. Obviously aimed at an American audience, but with a good balance of the fiesty young... Read more
