Customer Reviews / Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story
This product arrived promptly. I was keen to start watching it as i am a big fan of Eddie Izzard. this DVD is excellent, such a thought provoking look at why he does what he does, you need a region 1 dvd player in order to watch this and that is stated when you go to purchase the item. Fabulous product and excellent service as usual. Thank you. |
| I love Eddie Izzard! I own all his DVDs movies and comedies, so when i heard they were making a documentary i was intrigued! I really liked it. It stayed very true to Eddie, learned a lot about him in the early days! I'm so very glad he kept with it or we wouldn't have the one of a kind Eddie Izzard!!!! |
| I've been a fan of British comedian Eddie Izzard for ten years now, ever since 'Dress to Kill' aired on HBO. His humor is both ridiculous and intelligent at the same time. When I vacationed in London with my family in 2000, I even picked up Eddie's autobiography. Little did I know that the year I purchased that book, Eddie's career had just taken a down turn in the UK and he had stopped doing stand-up. 'Believe', a documentary by Susan Townsend, covers Eddie's return to stand-up with the SEXIE tour while also giving us a overview of his career.
Eddie's mother passed away from cancer when he was very young and he admits several times in the film that his career as a performer springs from wanting to get attention and be loved. It includes clips of Eddie performing on the street with friends, his appearance at FRINGE comedy festival, and, of course, clips from his bigger productions from the late 90s. This was extra fun for me to watch because I actually saw one of Eddie's "workshop" shows in New York when he was still working out the jokes in the SEXIE tour. I then saw him again during the official run of the tour in Washington D.C. so I know first hand how he takes an idea and evolves it into a part of his show; it's a very organic process for him. This movie, along with Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian", should be required viewing for anyone thinking of going into the stand-up career track, or even just entertainment. If you're already a fan of Eddie Izzard, you MUST see this documentary. You really appreciate all the work and love he puts into his shows, and what a tenacious individual he is. If you don't know much about Eddie, it's still an inspiring film to pick up and see someone struggle for and achieve their dream. |
| If you like Eddie Izzard you will find this interesting, but most of the material is the same and repeated. My sons (13 & 15)really laugh and roll with Eddie's 'live shows', but were bored with this, it really is a biography and not a comedy show. An adult would find the subtle message of 'not giving up' and 'taking chances'. |
| I have been an Eddie Izzard fan for years and have enjoyed his special and intelligent brand of humor. I must say that this DVD took me by surprise. Izzards childhood and subsequent search for an outlet for his creativity is facinating! What a workhorse this man is...what humility....what heart! You have no idea what Eddie has been through until you watch this video...I have become an even greater fan. |
