“Angel of Evil” is bloody, yes, but loaded with generic action sequences, shouting matches and blustery sentiment.

Plot/Synopsis:
The performer known as Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi, was famous in the 18th century as the world’s greatest castrato, a male singer whose testicles were removed in childhood so that he would retain the high, clear voice of a child while gaining the control and power of an adult vocalist. A strikingly gifted singer with a range of more than three octaves, Farinelli was given little choice but to sacrifice his manhood in exchange for his art, and as his career was founded on the surgery that would dramatically restrict his off-stage life, his art was in turn hemmed in by his family. Carlo’s father declared early on that he should only sing the songs of his brother Riccardo, and while Farinelli’s fame gives Riccardo’s career a needed boost, the mediocrity of Riccardo’s compositions holds Farinelli back. When the singer is given the opportunity to work with the great composer Handel, his brother’s jealously and Farinelli’s own poorly chosen career alliances stand in his way. The brothers’ often contentious partnership also extends to the bedroom; while Farinelli’s performances set women on fire, he’s physically incapable of satisfying them sexually, so he provides the foreplay in a bizarre game of seduction and then turns his conquests over to his brother. ~ Mark Deming, Allrovi

Plot/Synopsis:
As can easily be ascertained by the title, this Australian documentary focuses upon that most tortured of artistic geniuses, Vincent Van Gogh. Filmmaker Paul Cox utilizes Vincent’s “Dear Theo” letters to his brother as the dramatic spine of this visual feast. Van Gogh’s fiercely impressionistic paintings alternate with “real life” images of the places and faces that the artist wished to convey. John Hurt reads Van Gogh’s words in a manner than can be characterized as controlled turbulence. ~ Hal Erickson, Allmovie

Plot/Synopsis:
Joseph Vilsmaier (Stalingrad and Brother of Sleep) directed this fact-based German musical drama about a popular barbershop sextet in Nazi Germany of the ’30s. In 1927, musician Harry Frommermann), attracted to music-shop assistant Erna, joins ambitious vocalist Robert Biberti in forming a vocal group with arranger Erwin and Bulgarian cafe-singer Ari. As their fame increases, the authorities, who object to the Jews in the group, pressure them to perform National Socialist material. Traveling to New York, they eventually must decide whether to remain in the U.S. or return to Germany. The musical numbers use digitally remastered recordings by the real-life group, and computer graphics were employed to re-create a 1934 concert aboard an aircraft carrier in New York harbor. Barry Manilow’s stage musical Harmony is based on this same music group. Shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival.
