Show by Fraser & Darryl
Join Darryl for this From the Vault look back at Evita (1996), Alan Parker's sweeping screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical, starring Madonna as Eva Perón alongside Jonathan Pryce and Antonio Banderas, and revisiting a film that's stayed with him since he first saw it in cinemas nearly thirty years ago.This episode contains full spoilers.In this review, Darryl shares why Antonio Banderas's performance as Ché still stands out as one of his very best, how "You Must Love Me" became the film's truest and most quietly devastating moment, and why revisiting Evita nearly thirty years after first seeing it in a Christchurch cinema moved him just as much the second time around.Thanks for listening to Frame 70 Reviews.
