The Making of Evita

Summary: It's a wonderful book for lovers of the movie-Evita!
Review: I loved the movie Evita, starring Antonio Banderas and Madonna. I read this book and couldn't believe it. It told me all I ever wanted to know about the movie, and more.

Summary: Beautiful testimony to a beautiful film
Review: If you are considering getting this book, I would recommend the hardbound edition. The paperback edition of this book, due to the size and dimensions of the book, has a clumsy feel to it.

The pictures in this book are stunning. This is a beautiful production. The only "gripe" I have with this book is that it shows certain cultural biases by the writers (they refer to Argentina as "uncivilized" in some areas), and the other being the same complaint I have about the movie this book is about: the slippery interpretation of Argentine history. That is where this book faulters most, in its attempts to describe Peronist politics and what they mean to Argentina.

But would most people who buy this book buy it for the sake of shedding light on Argentine politics? Not likely. They would buy it for the beautiful photographs, most likely of Madonna and Antonio Banderas. And there are plenty of those in this book.

Summary: Superb!!!!!
Review: This book was awesome. It had wonderful photography, and a very good and understandable explanation of the movie. I could no put it down. I think that he pictures, though, made the book. Both Antonio, and Madonna looked great!
