The hit musical based on the life of Evita Duarte, a B-picture Argentinian actress who eventually became the wife of Argentinian president and dictator Juan Perón, and the most beloved and hated woman in Argentina. Madonna tackles the title role in Alan Parker's ambitious recounting of the brief, amazing life of former Argentine first lady Eva Perón. Presented almost entirely in song and narrated by Antonio Banderas as a fictional everyman, the film charts the alternately revered and reviled Evita's rise from poverty to become a film and radio actress; her relationship with President Juan Perón (Jonathan Pryce); and her tragic death from cancer at age 33.

EVITA begins with the announcement in a movie theatre of Eva Peron's death and is quickly followed by a most sublime scene of Argentinian sorrow, that of couples dancing a lifeless tango set to their secret grief. The sight impresses, as does the rest of EVITA's visuals. Unfortunately, EVITA doesn't go much further than the surface. With its emphasis on the illustration of celebrity, as opposed to an explanation, using displays of grandeur and admiring masses of humanity, the mythology of Eva will remain an anonymous one after watching EVITA, I'm afraid. Then again, one should probably not assign such weighty baggage to a movie based on a Broadway musical.
