Brilliant! I first saw this film on Frank Rich's facebook page. He also promoted it on his twitter feed. Mr Rich wrote- "What if that long-rumored Hollywood backlot film adaptation of Sondheim's "Follies" had actually been made? Ed Cachianes, who did the extraordinary mini-version of "Pacific Overtures," has distilled "Follies" and golden-era movie history into a ten-minute video, an exquisite and moving miracle of time travel, not to be missed: FOLLIES@THE ROXY"
Having seen Follies many times as a teenager i must say I really enjoyed this. Also it was great to hear One More Kiss, a lovely song infamously left off the initial OCR.
To echo the sentiments expressed...brilliant, so well done. I know the kind of intricate focus and time commitment this type project requires. I'm a big fan of FOLLIES and this is very impressive.
A ‘mini masterpiece’ . Sondheim’s ‘FOLLIES’ was born out of the wreckage of the once opulent and ornate ROXY via that indelible image of Gloria Swanson stood in the rubble….. Theatres are not demolished, they are ‘destroyed’
Follies is one of my all-time favorite shows. This fabulous montage gave me chills and tears. The ghosts are always with u.,
A masterpiece. Thank you so very much.
This is at once pretty and achingly nostalgic.
How unusual. I liked it very much. Your love for these actresses is very much apparent. Thanks, me too.
