    5.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable movie, full of nostalgia.
    Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2017

    When I was a teen, I got the soundtrack for this movie as a Christmas present. I had it for a few years before I ever saw the movie. I already had grown a liking for all the songs, and when I finally saw the movie I was blown away.
    This is the classic Phantom of the Opera story, but modernized (for the 70s), with a little Dorian Grey and some Faust merged with a story about a music producer (Swan) who is opening a new rock palace (The Paradise). He rips off a composer's (Winslow) music, and has him falsely arrested. Winslow escapes prison, but while trying to exact revenge is deeply disfigured in a vinyl record pressing machine, and the Phantom of the Paradise is born.

    This flick is not a musical in the stricter sense of the meaning, in that the cast does not spontaneously break out into song. Instead, all the songs are a part of either the auditions or the shows at the Paradise. The early show starts out with some music by a band called the Juicy Fruits, very 50s sounding, beach-boys type songs, and then evolves as the music is replaced by the score written by Winslow.

    The overall production values are a little low, since it was made on a budget, but overall they had everything they needed to get the story across. Large crowds, big theatres, good actors and talented singers really make this show stand out. Swan is played by Paul Williams, and he also writes much of the music. I have to say, he really is the consummate performer in this picture. His tunes are really enjoyable, and his singing is very well done, as is his costar Jessica Harper playing Phoenix.

    As a side note, this movie really bombed in its initial release, everywhere except Winnipeg Canada and Paris France. Those two cities really took this movie to heart, and in Winnipeg it quickly gained cult status and was around in local theatres for several years. Over the last few decades, they have had "Phantomapolusa" every few years, inviting the cast for a weekend and enjoying a screening, plus even a concert by Paul Williams and Jessica Harper at least once. The last one was just held in summer of 2017. In France, they still show this movie, sometimes in a double feature with Little House of Horrors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Rocky Horror
    Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This movie has everything. Comedy, horror, drama and music. It pays homage to Phantom of the Opera, Faust, The Picture of Dorian Grey and Frankenstein among other horror classics but the campiness of this movie prevents the horror from being taken too seriously. Instead it has an almost comedic feel. I think the songs are what put this movie over the top. Paul Williams shows off his incredible versatility with songs ranging from 50's doo-wap, 60's surf sound and pop until finally reaching shock rock. The lyrics are some of William's most clever and witty and all of the songs manage to convey a part of the movie's central theme. Phantom of the Paradise was released a year before Rocky Horror Picture Show to which it has often been compared and in my opinion Phantom is a much better movie even though Rocky Horror is more well known. That said, this movie isn't for everyone which could be why it is still relatively unknown. But if you want to just sit back, be entertained and escape reality for 90 minutes then grab some popcorn and watch Phantom of the Paradise.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Im PARADISE ist die Hölle los...
    Reviewed in Germany on June 4, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Wurde auch Zeit, dass PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE endlich in deutscher Fassung auf DVD erscheint. Brian De Palmas Frühwerk zählt zu den gelungensten Rock-Musicals aller Zeiten und braucht Vergleiche mit anderen Klassikern dieses Genres, allen voran natürlich THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, nicht zu scheuen.

    Die Handlung stellt eine wilde, aber höchst unterhaltsame Kombination aus verschiedenen Motiven der Weltliteratur dar, darunter FAUST, DAS BILDNIS DES DORIAN GRAY und natürlich DAS PHANTOM DER OPER. Letztgenanntes Werk bildet den Leitfaden der tragisch-komischen Geschichte von Swan, Winslow und Phoenix.

    Swan, der erfolgreichste und zugleich geheimnisvollste Songwriter und Producer der Gegenwart, hat vor Jahren einen Pakt mit dem Teufel geschlossen und ihm seine Seele vermacht. Im Gegenzug erhielt er dafür immerwährende Jugend und Unsterblichkeit. Jetzt plant Swan sein eigenes Denkmal, den ultimativen Rocktempel: das PARADISE.

    Natürlich bedarf es zur Eröffnung des Theaters eines ganz besonderen Sounds, und diesen findet Swan in den Kompositionen des jungen, unbekannten Winslow. Anstatt sich jedoch mit dem aufstrebenden Talent zu verbünden, zieht Swan es vor, die Partituren zu stehlen und Winslow mittels gefälschter Beweise ins Gefängnis zu bringen, wo ihm übel mitgespielt wird. Winslow gelingt die Flucht, doch als er, getrieben von blinder Wut, Swans Produktionsanlagen zerstören will, gerät er mit dem Gesicht in die Plattenpresse. Schwer verletzt und verfolgt von der Polizei, stürzt er sich in die Fluten und gilt daraufhin als tot.

    Fortan geschehen merkwürdige Dinge im fast fertiggestellten PARADISE, in dem die Vorbereitungen für die große Show auf Hochtouren laufen. Ein maskiertes Phantom sorgt für Angst und Schrecken und sabotiert die Proben mit gezielten Sprengstoff-Attacken. Swan erkennt jedoch schnell, mit wem er es zu tun hat: Natürlich ist es der entstellte Winslow, der, mit Umhang und Maske versehen, alles dransetzt, Swans Lebenswerk zu vernichten. Um ihn davon abzuhalten, bietet Swan dem Phantom an, seine Komposition in den hauseigenen Studios vollenden zu können, und die hübsche Sängerin Phoenix, in die sich Winslow unsterblich verliebt hat, für die Hauptrolle zu besetzen.

    Es kommt, wie es kommen muss: Swan legt Winslow erneut aufs Kreuz und schnappt sich nicht nur dessen Noten, sondern auch das Mädchen. Ein folgenschwerer Fehler, wie sich noch herausstellen wird, denn jetzt ist das Phantom in seinem Rachedurst nicht mehr zu stoppen. Im PARADISE bricht die Hölle los...

    Neben William Finley als Winslow und Jessica Harper als Phoenix glänzen vor allem Paul Williams als Swan (der auch die Songs für den Film schrieb) und Gerrit Graham als völlig durchgeknallter Rocker Beef, der - nomen est omen - bei der Eröffnungsfeier auf offener Bühne gegrillt wird (was dem PARADISE ironischerweise endgültig zum Durchbruch verhilft). Der fantastische Soundtrack, die temporeichen Kamerafahrten, die schrillen Kostüme und Outfits und nicht zuletzt de Palmas gekonnte Regie garantieren maximales Vergnügen. Zudem wirft PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE einen heiter-zynischen Blick auf das Music-Business und feiert gleichzeitig sämtliche liebgewonnenen Klischees über Sex, Drugs & Rock'N'Roll - einfach klasse!

    An amazingly underrated film fully deserving of the cult status that other films enjoy.

    Sometimes there comes along an entertainment experience that sadly far too few people actually get to notice, Phantom of the Paradise is definitely one of those experiences, with great music, comedic scenes and a truly engaging story.

    This horror comedy musical deserves to be more recognised than it is, telling the tale of Winslow Leach, a talented musician in a sea of drudgery and manufactured pop acts that has his music stolen by the enigmatic producer Swan to launch the opening of his rock palace 'The Paradise'

    As Winslow attempts to gain revenge for this misdeed things take a turn for the worse and result in a tragic tale of thrills, chills and fantastic music.

    I would recommend this to anyone and wouldn't be surprised in the least if a few others find themselves another cult classic to add to their collection.

    Reviewed in Mexico on May 17, 2017

    Es difícil describir Phantom of the Paradise para los no iniciados, pero baste decir que es una joya de culto para todos aquellos amantes del "Bizarro Film". Cinta influyente en muchos cineastas y músicos que la citan como referencia directa a muchas de sus obras, El Fantasma ofrece una versión única y poderosa de 3 obras de la literatura gótica: El Fantasma de la Ópera, El Retrato de Dorian Gray y Fausto.

    Brian de Palma ofrece la que, tal vez, sea su obra más poderosa en emociones y fuerza narrativa, con experimentos trascendentales de dirección y edición, que aún hoy podemos ver usadas en obras más recientes y de mayor presupuesto. La cinta nos cuenta la historia de un joven compositor llamado Winslow Leach (William Finley) que busca poder llevar su obra a más gente. En su búsqueda, cae en manos del más grande productor de su momento conocido sólo como Swan (interpretado por el músico Paul Williams), quién le ofrece la oportunidad de dar a conocer su obra al mundo en la inauguración de su nuevo club; El Paraíso. En el proceso, Winslow conoce a Phoenix (Jessica Harper), cantante que se vuelve su musa y que Winslow quiere que sea la intérprete de su obra.

    Winslow es traicionado por Swan y, tras ser desfigurado y con la garganta destrozada, jura venganza en contra del productor. Logra colarse al Paraíso y aterrorizar a las personas que intentan montar la obra con su música, pero Swan lo encuentra y lo convence de seguir trabajando en su obra, prometiéndole que Phoenix sería la intérprete. Winslow acepta sólo para ser traicionado nuevamente, pero en el proceso descubre el secreto de Swan; el famoso productor tiene un pacto con el diablo que lo mantiene siempre joven.

    El desenlace de la cinta es delirante y excesivo, como toda la película. La música de Paul Williams estuvo nominada tanto a los premios Oscar como a los Globos de Oro, aunque la cinta fue un fracaso en taquilla. Sin embargo, los años le han hecho justicia a la obra siendo citada como cinta de culto y uno de los proyectos más queridos de la amplia carrera de Brian de Palma. La edición de Shout Factory es impecable, con una muy buena remasterización en HD que hace que se vea mejor que nunca, además de muchos, muchísimos extras que complementan la vista y dan más información sobre el proceso creativo detrás de Phantom, así como su perenne influencia en la cultura pop. Sobresale una conversación entre el cineasta mexicano Guillermo del Toro (gran fan de esta película) y Paul Williams.

    Si dudaban comprarla, mi consejo es que la adquieran, así nunca hayan visto la película, y se den la oportunidad de conoces una obra de culto que, seguro, se quedará en sus mentes y corazones por mucho tiempo.
