Two Rooms Portuguese edition!

"When I received this DVD in the mail, I found strange packaging. Turns out that this is a Portuguese version. So the packaging and the DVD menus are in Portuguese. HOWEVER, the content of the DVD is in English and matches the original video release from a few years ago. Yes, this will play on American DVD machines.The 4 stars is because of the Portuguese (I had to think a bit to translate "legendas sim" to "subtitles yes").The quality is not DVD-caliber quality either, but that's because this is niche material. However, it is comparable to a good video.Elton, as ever, rocks. :)"

Two Rooms: What Makes Elton and Bernie Tick

"This is a fine documentary chronicling the careers of the great songwriting team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. There is much to enjoy in the short span of 90 minutes; from old, rarely seen footage of Elton performing some of his early hits to musical accolades sung and spoken by his friends and peers in popular music, ranging from Neil Young to Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Sting. And we see some thoughtful commentary by Elton John and Bernie Taupin regarding how they've written songs and why their partnership has lasted so long. Without a doubt, it is essential viewing for Elton John fans and also for those who wonder why Elton remains popular to this very day. I found watching it much more rewarding than listening to the companion "Two Rooms" CD."

A Good Video

"I liked this video because it tells why Bernie wrote his songs and the message behind them. It also has good preformers playing his sons but, he is still in a lot of the video. Any good fan must have it."
