Summary:What a Shock
Full Review:
I bought this DVD looking forward to some actual film of Django performing. This is nothing of the sort. This is a conglomeration of still photos, often it appears of album covers, certainly nothing very new to one familiar with his CDs. There is NO action filming of Django performing.



The filming that does show someone's hands playing guitar, to Django's sound track, are obviously not Django's. The left hand of the player is not deformed at all and he uses all his fingers! I don't get it! What was this supposed to show?



The visual effects on this DVD are enough to give you headaches or severe motion sickness and they are endlessly repetitious: spinning and variously morphing still photos moving all over the screen. I had to listen to much of it with half to fully closed eyes, hoping that some live action footage would finally appear.



No such luck. It was all the same still photos, copies of ads for concerts, and the banner "Quintette du Hot Club de Paris" repeated on the screen spinning in many different colors.



The "special effects" of small model ambulances and miniature model French hospital where Django was taken after his burn and later his stroke, were just plain silly.



This DVD is absolutely not worth it. I'm sorry I bought it.
