Summary: tATu, as unordinary as ever
Review: Buy this, and you are not gonna get wall-to-wall pop videos. What you will get is a fly-on-the-wall documentary on tATu's venture into USA, the excitement (and pain) of Eurovision, arguments with the families over contracts, and, as Lena would say, so on and so forth.
It's as lovely to hear the girls speak in their native tongue as it is to hear them sing, but don't panic, there are subtitles. The dvd is rather dominated by Ivan Schapalov, who thankfully has now been ditched by the girls.
It would make a good TV programme on its own, a must for true fans.

Summary: A fine documentary
Review: I didn't entirely know what to expect with this DVD but I absolutely loved it. Even if you're not a fan of t.A.T.u. I recommend watching it because the girls are so uninhibited speaking their own language. Their personalities pop right out at you and you get an insight into how they think and what they feel. A lot of people seem to think that they're robots, merely doing and saying what they're told, but that's definitely not the case and this DVD proves it.

What also intrigued me was how they managed to link t.A.T.u.'s American debut with the war in Iraq. You kind of feel like an outsider looking in on how things played out in 2003.

It's unclear as to whether or not their producer, Ivan, or Vana in Russian, is still with the group but he appears in much of the DVD. I don't find him nearly as interesting as the girls but t.A.T.u. (or Taty) is his brand and you get to see first-hand just how much he likes to create controversy.

It is said that t.A.T.u. will make a comeback in 2005 but will trash their lesbian image. It's uncertain as to whether or not they'll make another English speaking album but fans will most likely be satisfied in ordering and listening to a Russian speaking one.
