DVD: venice     DVD:       Venice: Queen of the Adriatic1 review Venice-Queen of the Adriatic VIEW, Inc., 2008 Poor quality Out of focus slide show (it looks like photos of old post cards where the colors have faded) and a cheesy narrative. Don't waste your money.             The Greatest Journeys on Earth - Venice: Journeys Through the Glass Janson Media, 2004 Located on the frontier between the West and the Orient, Venice has raised the art of masquerade and and narcissim to new heights. This city blessed by the gods has jealously guarded the secret of making glass and mirrors since the Middle Ages. Capital of appearances and intrigue, Venice knows, as no other place, how to seduce visitors and plunge them into the splendors of past glories, and into the magic of its carnival. With mysterious masked ...             Ancient Mysteries - Miraculous Canals of Venice3 reviews Leonard Nimoy A&E Home Video, 2006 No mere tourist tableau - a more serious approach to the history of Venice My expectations were low when I purchased this fifty-minute long DVD, dating from 1996. Both the title and the knowledge that Leonard Nimoy would be the narrator led me to suspect a sensationalist Hollywood approach that would postulate that Venice had been built by ancient Egyptians or that aliens had designed St Mark's Cathedral. But, I was so wrong! For, when I saw the face of Professor Albert ...             Globe Trekker: Venice City Guide Justine Shapiro Pilot Productions, 2006 Venice, arguably the world's most stunning city, is situated in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea off mainland Italy. built on water, this 'car-free' city is a maze of over 100 tiny islands linked together by a network of bridges.

Al's performance was outstanding.. Shylock who was portrayed by Shakeapeare and perceived by Readers throughout ages as Villain is now seen as a human! You sympathize with him, you refuse his deeds but you do not hate him. A movie that has to be present in your DVD library!             The Merchant of Venice / Trevor Nunn, Royal National Theatre8 reviews David Bamber, Peter De Jersey Image Entertainment, 2004 Horribly Misunderstood Play As all of the other reviews seem to agree, I find this production to be magnificently performed, shot, and produced. In fact, the only problem the other reviews seem to state is the anti-Semitism present in the play. In fact, many Shakespearean scholars disagree with this analysis, citing The Merchant of Venice as Shakespeare's tongue-in-cheek to contemporary Christopher Marlowe's anti-Semitic ...             Venice: A Musical Journey - A Musical Tour of the City's Past and Present4 reviews Venice: Musical Tour of Venice Naxos DVD, 2005 Beautiful music and scenery I was unexpectedly pleased with this DVD. It can be used as a calming relaxation DVD or for more informational purposes. It comes with a descriptive booklet, but the same information is provided on the DVD. You can look up information about the places in each section and the musical pieces that accompany them, either in the booklet or on the DVD. There is a brief descriptive title indicating ...             Pink Floyd - Live In Venice 1989 Pro DVD3 reviews Pink Floyd's Best Performance This title was producded from a TV special shown through out Europe back in 1989. Flim & audio quality is not up the current DVD standards. Two channel sound & low res film. A typical clean production for those old VHS players & analog TV sets. Still, it's a nice clean title that I rate about 9 out of 10 considering it's age. It's a 4:3 video NOT 16:9 flim. Out of all the video Pink Floyd ...             Venice: Tides of Change CustomFlix, 2007 Rising sea levels may not be the greatest threat to one of the world's most romantic cities!

While I agree that gazing for hours into Andresen's ever-sleepy eyes can be a bit yawn-inducing at some points, in general I am in the latter camp. If beauty is its own ...             The Merchant of Venice [Region 2]8 reviews David Bamber, Peter De Jersey Horribly Misunderstood Play As all of the other reviews seem to agree, I find this production to be magnificently performed, shot, and produced.

Decent cast, some action and a so-so story. This movie is great to watch if you live someplace that is cold and gets snow.             Britten - Death in Venice / Tony Palmer, Robert Gard5 reviews Robert Gard, John Shirley Quirk Image Entertainment, 2002 conjuring Britten A gutsy, beautiful looking film, a score which if not Britten's greatest opera is easily one of the most beautiful, a tested and sympathetic conductor, and the great John Shirley-Quirk reprising the Traveller opposite Robert Gard - what's not to love! Palmer makes customary magic with every determining motive behind the camera. Nothing stops his vision. The colors of the film evoke Visconti's, as ...             Britten - Death in Venice / Jenkins, Tear, Opie, Glyndebourne Opera3 reviews Robert Tear, Alan Opie Kultur Video, 2002 Excellent production but problem with story Other viewers may respond more positively than me to Britten's "Death in Venice." The searching and inward qualities of the writer Aschenbach are certainly noble, but, while I am far from a prude, there is a repulsive quality here which loses me. Nonetheless, Britten is a terrific opera composer, his last opera has magnificent music and the performance is superb. Robert Tear is very moving as ...             World Class Trains: The Venice Simplon Orient Express3 reviews World Class Trains Eagle Vision Media, 2004 Wonderful taste of Europe.
