Babylon 4K UHD

I don't know why so many people bash this film, it encapsulates the era well, and weird and way-out and shows the times well in a short time, it gives a sense of the loosh lifestyle & despondency once the fame gas gone, look at the actual history and how many of them died really badly.

Good Watch.

Anotherr film I found hard to rate. I don't normally drop names of other reviewers but...Do read "Shaun's" review 25 May. Brilliant and he says practically everything I want to say, so to try and not plagiarise... As the film began, I felt confident it was going to be "different - Voiding Elephants! Then the infamous orgy scene. What a mess! Camera swirling away, in and out, headache time, and surely this sequence could have been shortened by a good 10mins and still contained the important scenes? To the main body of the film and we meet "Nellie" (and here I must praise Marot Robbie. maybe her acting divides opinions - does it? but here she goes through every emotion possible, including physical hardships, and comes out as THE star of the film). Now we come to the boring bit (to me anyeay) "Nellie" hitting her mark (or failing to), here, also is a an odd mix of humour and drama, which does feature off and on throughout the film. An incredible party scene which makes David Walliams "Little Britain" seem very tame (no spoilers). Brad Pitt cannot be didmissed (top billed). His performence is so low key, yet hits all the right notes. A splendid performence. In fact the entire cast is good, and I must give special mention to Toby Mc Guire as a gambling/mob boss. His scenes and the nightclub sequence are truly scary. I mentioned the whole cast...see if you recognise Olivia Wilde? I didn't, and I am not telling you which part she has!!! Eric Roberts, looking even odder than usual, plays Nellie's dad, and features in the bonkers "snake fight" scene. Frustrating, Infuriating and absolutely chock full of incredibly imaginative us of the "F" word!! and way too long. At the end I realised apart from one sewuwnce I hadn't been bored - I actually liked the film, with all it's imperfections (my opinion). It is definitley Adults only and if swearing continually offends - be aware. If memory serves there is no actual SEX but some badly filmed nudity, most unerotic!! I think this is a film all lovers of cinema, whether you like classic or different independant films, you should give this exptic quirky film a chance.Currently an amazing £4 - The DVD (not BluRay) is excellent quality, terrific colour, soundtrack and subtitles (and Margot's best ever performence

I love movies about making movies, so Babylon is made for me. It's baffling that this movie seems to have come and gone with so little notice or fanfare. It's definitely long, and, some can argue, too much in love with itself, but, if you've always been a movie lover, and enjoy period pieces about Hollywood, this is the movie for you. It's mostly funny, though it has its dramatic moments, and the usual use of Jazz in the Soundtrack, like Chazelle does in all of his movies, goes well with the subject matter. Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt are in top form here, and their charm and charisma carries you through the 190 minutes of this movie. Image and sound are top notch in the 4K, pity that the extras packages is nothing to write home about, a couple of featurettes and a nice collection of deleted scenes. If you love Whiplash and La La Land, this is a nice follow up to those movies.

A very good movie in a very good steelbox

Hoping this isn't a documentary. Hellish portrayal of stardom, thank goodness James Elroy didn't do the screenplay!

...so much better than expected. I read some poor reviews when it was released at the movies, but its an interesting story of Hollywood in its heyday and if the stories are to be believed, a good time was had by all.Full of Hollywood 'A' list actors.Good times, Bad times and for adults only.

Margot Robbie is stunning and brilliant as usual

I just really got it because of the steel book cover not the movie itself

Una gran película y un edificio maravillosa que encontré a buen precio, llegó en buen estado y en la fecha indicada.

Recensione di "Babylon" - 10/10"Babylon" è un capolavoro assoluto, un film che ha saputo conquistarmi fin dal primo istante e che ora rientra tra i miei preferiti di sempre. Non ho dubbi nel dare a questo film il massimo dei voti, perché è una di quelle opere che non solo intrattiene, ma lascia un segno profondo.Margot Robbie è semplicemente straordinaria. In Babylon, la sua performance è da Oscar, senza alcuna esitazione. Per quanto mi sia piaciuta anche in Barbie, dove ha dimostrato la sua versatilità e il suo talento, è in Babylon che Margot raggiunge livelli di intensità e passione che raramente si vedono al cinema. Ogni scena in cui appare è un'esplosione di emozioni, e il suo impegno nel dare vita al personaggio è palpabile e travolgente.La regia di Damien Chazelle è magistrale. È riuscito a creare un affresco grandioso e ambizioso di un'epoca dorata e turbolenta di Hollywood, con una narrazione che ti cattura e non ti lascia andare fino alla fine. Ogni dettaglio, ogni inquadratura, è curata alla perfezione, e il ritmo del film è incalzante, travolgente, esattamente come il mondo che vuole rappresentare.Anche Brad Pitt, che solitamente non è tra i miei attori preferiti, in questo film ha saputo sorprendere. La sua interpretazione è solida, carismatica, e si inserisce perfettamente nell'atmosfera decadente e frenetica di Babylon. È un ruolo che richiede sfumature e profondità, e Pitt ha saputo renderle con grande abilità.È un film che, purtroppo, non è stato pienamente compreso o apprezzato da tutti, ma per me è un vero e proprio capolavoro. È un'opera che non solo celebra il cinema, ma lo esplora con un'energia e una passione che raramente si vedono.Come sempre, Amazon è stata impeccabile. Il film è arrivato in tempo record, permettendomi di godermi questa meraviglia senza alcun problema. Un servizio sempre al top, che non delude mai.In sintesi, Babylon merita un 10 su 10. È un film che considero un capolavoro, con una Margot Robbie da Oscar e una regia superlativa. Un'esperienza cinematografica unica, che consiglio a tutti. E un grazie ad Amazon per l'ottimo servizio, come sempre.

Gran película me encanto la recomiendo. Llego en perfectas condiciones

It was a great movie from start to finish. Never disappointed me or bored me at all. It was occupying me for 3 hours straight. A Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and The Wolf of Wall Street tale put into one flick. Set in the 1920s and 1930s Hollywood Golden Age Era. But the movie may have some cliques, but it does state a lot of important facts that existed from those times as humans, including the fall of silent movies into the rise of sound films, when characters was able to speak on screen. And the stating of discrimination. As some may put a lot of effect on us today. Already watched it 4 times. Even went to the movies to see it. It was worth the cost and the time. And to finally own.
