Movie Description
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.


Banderas, a surprisingly moving singer, and the inimitable Madonna, who took voice lessons before filming commenced to expand her vocal range, provide the emotional bedrock for the eminently enjoyable film with their charismatic screen presences. The music, including the Oscar-winning song "You Must Love Me," weaves an entrancing web, and the sets and costumes are awe inspiring. Parker does a fine job of adapting Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical for the big screen. The director's vision shines clearly here: Like PINK FLOYD: THE WALL, EVITA is an enchanting mixture of epic fairy tale and sociopolitical psychodrama.

Variety - Todd McCarthy

"...Madonna, who took voice lessons to extend her range, easily masters the musical material. As importantly, she is a convincing Evita..."

      Madonna Plays Argentina's Eva Peron

    "Evita" is a musical portrayal of the amazing life of former Argentine First Lady Eva Perón (Madonna). Madonna, with all of her talent, good looks, and energy, is perfect for this rendition of "Evita" since it is presented almost entirely as a musical; with the exception that it is narrated by Antonio Banderas.

    The film chronicals both the beloved and rejected Evita's rise from poverty to become a radio and film star, and then First Lady of Argentina. It also gives us a glimpse of her relationship with President Juan Perón (Jonathan Pryce). How the Argentinian people grieved for her when she died from cancer at age 33.

    The music took an Oscar for the winning theme song, "You Must Love Me." Director Parker adapts composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical for the big screen magnificently. Don't think that it isn't political.
