Zu viel des Guten ist wundervoll
Was heute Elton John und Lady Gaga sind, war in den 70er Jahren Liberace in einer Person. Als virtuoser Pianist, Entertainer in Las Vegas und Superstar der pompösen Shows lag ihm weltweit ein Millionenpublikum zu Füßen. Auf der Bühne und im Privaten erhob er Luxus und Glamour zu seinem Lebensstil. Lange Pelzmäntel, glitzernde Kostüme, goldene Kerzenständer und massenhaft teurer Schmuck waren seine Markenzeichen. Mehrere Rolls-Royce zählten zu seinem Fuhrpark, alleine 39 Flügel schmückten seine private Villa. Alles gab es im Überfluss - und er selber sagte einmal: „Too much of a good thing is wonderful“.

Terrific. First and foremost, I have to admit I knew nothing about Liberace - other than his name - before viewing this, therefore I don't know how much of it is accurate, made-up, exaggerated etc. That didn't stop me enjoying it, though. Michael Douglas (Liberace) and Matt Damon (Scott) do do a lot of the heavy lifting, both of them give tremendous performances - especially Douglas. They actually worked very well together, perfect casting. I found Rob Lowe amusing in this, not sure if I was supposed to but I did - not in a negative way in regards to Lowe, just the character of Dr. Jack Startz. Debbie Reynolds (Frances) and Dan Aykroyd (Seymour) also appear, two well-known people playing relatively small roles. The film looks great, it perhaps lasts a little too long when all is said and done but it didn't hamper my enjoyment all that much. 'Behind the Candelabra' is a very good biopic.
Wow, that was -like the liberace shows in Las Vegas- quite a show. It was a great love story and a hell of a cast. Besides that it was the gayest movie that i ever saw. But the love story was that good that i could really feel with the couple of the movie. I heard the movie should be good. Now i think it was even better (especially Douglas und Damon).
a groundbreaking piece of cinematography. amazing film.
An ache reminiscent of brokeback :tone2:
Probably one of my best movies ever. The two main actors are just really good. The biopic of the singer is super interesting with a very sad ending.
