Product ReviewsViva Maria (DVD, 2005)

Great entertainment movie for the French cinema lovers!

Great entertainment movie for those who are in love with French cinema and Louis Malle's director's work.

Viva Maria is a wonderfully sexy, screwball, and at times surreal period comedy starring the two great French sex symbols of the sixties - Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau. Together, these two make a formidable team and seem to genuinely spark off each other.

The plot is suitably silly. In some unnamed South American country, Bardot, an Irish terrorist's daughter who has learned all the tricks of the trade before suddenly becoming orphaned. On the run from the authorities, she takes refuge with a band of travelling performers whose shows seem to mix circus and music hall. Moreau is a star attraction; although she has just lost the partner in her double act. Naturally, the two girls - both named Maria - end up on stage together where problems with the costumes lead to some delightful striptease sequences. The girls are a big hit - no surprise!

The troupe travels take them to a South-American (Spanish-speaking) country in the midst of revolution. Moreau falls for the rebel leader, played by George Hamilton. When he is killed, the two Marias take over leadership of the rebels - inspired by Moreau's zeal and Bardot's technical knowledge of explosives.
The film rattles along at a brisk pace, littered along the way with saucy humor and outrageous sight gags. It's fantastic to see both Bardot, the playful kitten who enjoys sex and explosives equally, and Moreau, slightly a more mature cat: sleek, sensuous and seductive, and follow their adventures. Enjoy!Read full review...
