VHS Movie Reviews of Lili [VHS]
Movie Review: the perfect use of the Emotionally Distant Paramour as Hot Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
The emotionally distant beau who silently seethes for you is a big moneymaker. Look at the success of Robert Pattinson in Twilight. But it's complete b.s. because if someone acted like that in real life, you'd be sending them away with your silently seething ill wishes. But oh, oh, oh, Mel Ferrer and his perfectly displayed physique allegedly "hates [his] body" because fighting off the Germans in WWI gave him a limp. Charming French Jew Jean Pierre Aumont dazzles original recipe elf Leslie Caron playing a 16! year old but Catalonian Mel is watching from the wings, giving her money (excellent) by way of employment (much better) and regular doses of attention. This is really THE Mel Ferrer movie. In one of his last public appearances, I saw him on tv and he hadn't changed at all! He just looked older with gray hair but the silhouette was STILL there. Incredible. Laudable.
Summary of Lili [VHS]
The wonderful Leslie Caron stars in this Oscar-winning musical fable with a touch of the bizarre. Caron plays Lili, a recently orphaned waif hopelessly in love with a carnival magician. Mel Ferrer plays Paul, a gruff puppeteer who can express his softer side only through his puppets. Sound weird? It is. Caron's performance is lovely. She is, as always, a graceful dancer, but she is also able to pull off the much more difficult task of making Lili pure and innocent without being icky--she talks to Paul's puppets with complete conviction. (The puppets, by the way, are incredibly creepy.) Younger viewers will take Lili at face value, but adults may well get sucked into its unintentional dark side: homelessness, suicide, emotional repression, and giant dancing puppets all come into play. Also enjoyable is Zsa Zsa Gabor, who does a great job standing around looking pretty as the magician's assistant. --Ali DavisDrama VHS Video
