Informativ, allerdings etwas langatmig durch die Nebenhandlung welche in den 1960ern spielt.

5つ星のうち5.0 Bon film sur Purcell

Ce film écrit par John Osborne relève le défi de parler de Purcell dont on ne sait rien, ou presque. Fresque l'Angleterre du XVIIe siècle, mais aussi de l'Angleterre des années 60, ce film tourné dans les années 80 reste superbe pour la qualité des acteurs et le génie de la musique (fort bien rendue par John Eliot Gardiner.)

This is a complex film: several interwoven plots, dazzling visual spectacles,and some of the most overwhelming music of the English baroque. There is also a great dynamic range in the film, from the pianissimo of intimate speech to the ear-shattering forte of the massed crowd scenes. My comments, which follow, apply to the edition of it released by Kultur, which does not contain the indispensable subtitles it advertises.

To follow the story and enjoy the film, it is essential to understand what the acrors are saying at all times. Even with the superior diction of British actors, subtitles or closed captioning are essential unless you view the film with the volume control of your remote in hand; and who needs that kind of a constant irritant. The film is advertised as offering subtitles (English, French, Spanish, Italian), which is one of the reasons I purchased it, for I already own a CD of the music. Unfortunately, neither subtitles or closed captioning is available; there is no menu for accessing them. And for me that was the rub.

While I enjoyed the music immensely, along with many of the visual spectacles, I know I missed a good deal of the plot even with some historical knowledge of the events covered. For me it worked out to a mixed experience of delight and frustration, one I do not care to repeat. Therefore, regrettably I have rated this otherwise superior film at 2 stars.

In view of its good record of customer service, Amazon might wish to change its ad or return its copies of the film to the distributor for replacement with copies containing subtitles as advertised. It would please me to receive from Amazon a replacement copy for my trouble.

NOTE 26 SEP 09: Amazon has resolved this situation to my entire satisfaction. I now have the version of this film with subtitles, which Amazon is offering separately and at a lower price. For the first time I can appreciate "England, My England" as the masterpiece I first suspected it was. For my reassessment of this film, see my review of the other version of it, which Amazon is now offering.

TONY PALMER, VERSATILE FILMMAKER COMBINED WITH THE CREATIVITY OF JOHN ELIOT GARDINER CREATE AN HISTORICAL MASTERPIECE !!!!!

Tony Palmer, filmmaker, has produced films in virtually all genres, but he obviously loves music and musicians. So it is not surprising that he would produce a film about Henry Purcell. Sometimes rambling, but always fascinating; part biography of Purcell and part actors putting on a play about Purcell.

Not much is known about the historical Purcell, whose music (in great abundance) nonetheless survives today as one of the great glories of the Restoration. In fact Henry Purcell is a mystery. We know where he is buried (next to Vaughan Williams in Westminster Abbey), but that's about it. No one knows for certain where he was born or even precisely when he was born. He lived exactly the same number of years as Mozart - only thirty-five-, but we only know in detail what he did for three of those years. Page after page of some of his manuscripts of some of his masterworks are completely blank. Purcell, was, and is a mystery, except that we know he wrote over a thousand works, at least one for every working week of his life.

However, the film very neatly dances around the paucity of information by bouncing back and forth between Purcell's time and early mid-60's England, a time of cultural and political upheavals.

The music played during this film was NEWLY DESIGNED for the action at the time.
None of the music is from pre-existing recordings, and that makes this DVD extra interesting to me. Thus we have music in period style played on period instruments, although with some give-and-take on questions of authenticity such as whether or not Purcell used drums in the Funeral Music for Queen Mary; some historians say yes, some say no, and I don't really care! Suffice it so say that John Eliot Gardiner was closely involved with the selection of the repertory for the film, and although it does not always include Purcell's greatest hits, it does show the breadth of his achievements and the way his work developed in response to the events of the late 17th century.

The film is simply wonderful to behold on any number of levels: the Restoration Period is recreated with loving detail, with sumptuous costumes and production design, and Purcell's music is simply breathtakingly performed, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner and sung by the Monteverdi Singers. The performances by Simon Callow, Michael Ball, Corin Redgrave and a host of fantastic actors, some singers such as Michael Chance and James Bowman, are all uniformly excellent!

Gramophone Magazine Nov. 2007: "An imaginative matching of history, ideas, the man and his music."

The Australian: "Looks and sounds like a masterpiece - wonderful to hear as it is to behold. Overwhelming....it will blow you out of your seat!"

The entire performance sparkles and crackles with that certain flair that belongs to the British!!!!

It is something of a cliche to label productions 'timeless' but one of the brilliant aspects of Palmer's biopic of Henry Purcell (produced for television in 1995) is that the observations on the English condition contained in Osborne and Wood's script fully retain their resonance and relevance nearly twenty years after the film was made. Bankers certainly weren't the product of Cromwell's time, as Clarendon (John Fortune) ruefully observes, but blaming the previous administration is as old as the hills and bankers remain as unpopular today as they were for Charles II. The mob still burns flags and effigies, the wealthy and powerful continue to 'put it around', the exchequer is still empty, and we still have Purcell's legacy to remind us that it is not simply the base which persists in our national history but also the sublime. The use of an imaginary 1960s production of Shaw's 'In Good King Charles's' Golden Days' at the Royal Court provides the central conceit around which the film's examination of the life and times of Purcell unfolds. Simon Callow plays Charles, and the playwright/actor seeking to portray Charles and Purcell, from the heart, and the play's observations on class, tolerance, censorship, art, money, religion, sex, fun, music and joie de vivre, say a great deal about the perils and pitfalls of the English experience. It is through the modern actor's investigation of Purcell that the historical detail of the period is revealed, relieving the historical drama of the burden of such explanation. Dryden, a splendid Robert Stephens in what must have been one of his last performances, provides the narrative in Purcell's time, while the whole film is carried along on the sumptuous music of Henry Purcell, who forms the by no means exclusive focus of the whole enterprise. The music is delivered by John Eliot Gardiner with superb performances from Susan Graham, Stephen Varcoe, Lynne Dawson,Nancy Argenta and James Bowman among others. Michael Ball is a convincingly brilliant, youthful, frustrated and perpetually indebted Purcell, John Shrapnel is the solidly-grounded but surprisingly chaste Pepys, and Lucy Speed, not to be outdone by such a heavy weight male cast, puts in a great turn as Nell/the modern girlfriend. Only William III (Corin Redgrave) seems rather hard-done-by in the production, as no matter what his private peculiarities, William was a formidable soldier and politician who seems misrepresented here as a bumbling adjunct to Mary's (Rebecca Front) radiant co-reign. Overall, the film serves as a fascinating exploration of the Restoration through Purcell and repeated viewing uncovers layer on layer of meaning and understanding. It succeeds in saying much about all ages which understand the cost of everything and the value of nothing, and a country which still finds itself "shuffling around at the tradesman's entrance to Europe".
