(didn't care for the wandering hands scenes) Ishtar is the fictional African country where a team of failed singer-songwriters, Chuck "the Hawk" Clarke and Lyle Rogers (the film's producer Warren Beatty), unknowingly end up in the middle of Cold War intrigue. When the rebels are meeting, Adjani's face looks very smooth in her single shot. When Lyle goes on ahead to their job, CIA agent Jim Harrison (Charles Grodin) approaches Chuck and gets him on the payroll in an effort to help keep the Ishtar Emir in power. The image offers fine details. There is noticeable film grain that becomes accentuated when against a bright sky.
This is literally a film where you feel so embarrassed for the actors you shake your head and wonder: "Why"? The item you've selected was not added to your cart.
Though 'Ishtar' has a bad reputation, it offers more laughs than I expected. Beatty is amusing playing against type as the dim-witted Lyle, who is awkward with women. Add to cart . Approximately US $24.04 (including shipping) Ishtar (Directors Cut) BLU-RAY NEW.
In order to get to Morocco, they have to land in Ishtar, which is on brink of revolution from leftist rebels. Forget the revisionist rush to declare this an tramelled masterpiece. He and Hoffman have a good comedic chemistry together when writing songs, and their characters reveal a strong friendship bond when out on the ledge of a building. Recently I'd read that it was actually better than its reputation, so, being a fan of Hoffman's, Beatty's, and May's, I gave it a chance, especially considering this was the version Elaine May *wanted* people to have seen. Each sound clean and free of hiss or defect and also deliver clear dialogue. Two terrible lounge singers get booked to play a gig in a Moroccan hotel but somehow become pawns in an international power play between the C.I.A., the Emir of Ishtar, and the rebels trying to overthrow his regime.
Hilarious, especially if you're a songwriter or some kind of artist. The music fills the surrounds as well, but it isn't balanced well with the other elements.
Ishtar (Directors Cut) BLU-RAY NEW. Painfully funny. They decide on the latter, thinking it is the safer of the two countries. Ishtar (Director's Cut) (20) IMDb 4.4 1h 44min 1987 NR With a song in their hearts, the CIA on their backs, a gorgeous revolutionary in their arms and two nations after their heads, Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman find adventure, romance and comedy on the road to ISHTAR. Perhaps if I had seen this version in the mid-80s, I might have given it some credit, although buying into the conceit that Warren Beatty is a schmuck completely lacking confidence around women would probably have been a stretch even then (Beatty is a good actor, as long as you let him show that he's aware how sexy others find him). Price: AU $33.82. Fans will be happy to learn the Blu-ray offers a pleasant high-definition experience. All rights reserved.

'Ishtar' is not the bomb it was made out to be. 'Ishtar' is a 50GB Region Free Blu-ray disc housed in a standard blue case. It has the feel of the Crosby-Hope 'Road' picture with Chuck and Lyle more like Laurel and Hardy, with the smarter of the two not actually being very smart himself.
