This screen adaptation of the popular revue saluting the songs of French composer Jacques Brel (produced as part of the American Film Theater series) has been given a respectful presentation for its release on DVD. Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The songs are performed in English, with no multiple language options included. Bonus materials include the film's original trailer (as well as trailers for the other movies in the American Film Theater series), the complete contents of the original program distributed with the film, a documentary on producer Ely Landau, an interview with his wife and collaborator Edie Landau, and a profile of the American Film Theater series.

This filmed version of the popular (1800 performances!) off-Broadway musical by Eric Blau and Mort Schumann incorporates 26 songs written by Belgian-entertainer Jacques Brel. Three actors--Elly Stone, Mort Schuman and Joe Masiell--interpret Brel's sometimes angry, sometimes poignant ballads with strength and compassion. In the movie, the three are brought together when they seek refuge from a rainstorm. The songs are accompanied by vignettes which highlight the imagery and story in them. Jacques Brel himself sings a melancholy composition at intermission time. It's ironic that this film was produced by the American Film Theatre; Brel disliked America and refused ever to set foot in the country.~Hal Erickson
