Summary: the movie rocks, BUT...
Review: ... sometimes it's nice to see that, indeed sometimes we germans clearly get better editions of some movies than you americans do. and in this case, the german company E-M-S did a very cool 2-disc Special Edition of Perdita Durango (original title) with the original english soundtrack. so I'd recommend this edition to all you americans with region-free-players, 'cause THIS FILM ROCKS UNCUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Great movie, but...
Review: This is a great work by Alex de la Iglesia, but sadly this edition ("unrated") has been butchered by A-pix. Many shots have been removed or replaced by video generated titles. Also, one of the high and emotional moments of the ending has been completely removed. If you can't get the original version, get this one. You will enjoy it because it is still a great movie. I give this edition only one star because I can't accept loosing that key moment at the end.

Summary: Wild at Heart and Weird on Top
Review: Being a huge Barry Gifford fan, having enjoyed De La Iglesia's Day of the Beast, and of the opinion that Wild at Heart was one of the best novel to film adaptations in the history of cinema, needless to say, my expectations for this movie were very high. I couldnt have imagined it being so satisfying. De La Iglesia's adaptation of Perdita Durango takes its liberties but (like Wild At Heart) finds its inspiration in the original source material without destroying the spirit. Romeo and Perdita carve thier way through the world with violence, magic, and sex. They are sadistic, perverse, and perfect for each other. From thier first fateful meeting, it is a dark destiny, a collision of two black souls. If the movie has any message, it is that even the most wicked person has a diabolic soulmate. Love does not discriminate. The preformances are great. Javier Bardem as Romeo was totally unrecognizable as the same guy who played the stud in Jamon, Jamon. He plays Romeo as charming, self preserving, and almost noble killer because his beliefs are in darkness, sacrifice, revenge, and amoral spirituality. My fears of Rosie Perez, an actress I am not fond of in any way, were unfounded as she embodied Perdita perfectly with sadism and sizzle. James Gandolfini, as the Wile E Coyote like DEA agent Dumas, was also very good, perpetually abused and doggedly determined. De La Iglesia handles with the film great skill. The pacing is fast and furious. Every scene is alive with energy, and his compostion is masterful. He has vastly improved from the flawed, yet entertaining, Day of the Beast, and demonstrates that his is a talent that continues to grow. Given the proper material and time, I can see him providing a enjoyable body of manic, surreal, and outrageous work.

Summary: Beautifully Unredeeming
Review: It's rare that one finds a film as cheerfully amoral as "Dance with the Devil." Yet, it's that same willingness to shock the viewer that makes it so special. The director, Alex de la Iglesia, imbues his film with a malevolent visual splendor that never fails to captivate. His job is made easier by the star turns of Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem (last seen in Pedro Almodovar's Live Flesh, he completely transforms himself in his present role). If you're interested in filmmaking that takes you far off the beaten cinematic path, "Dance with the Devil" is the ride for you!

Summary: Absolutely Great!
Review: Much better than for example Natural Born Killers, this is one of the best Movies of the 90's. Once you get into the Story you are taking for a weird out crazy trip with Romeo, Perdita and their two Hostages. The Acting of everyone involed is over the top. I highly recommend this if you love plenty of laughs, pointless violence and voodoo rituals.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This movie is brilliant! A superb and decadent chronicle of hispanic deviants fallen victim to an abrasive love and lust between each other. The best film ever released in the United States by a Mexican-American director and one of the biggest new-age cult hits.
