{"product_id":"selena-import-australia-import-ntsc-region-0-dvd","title":"Selena - [DVD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGregory Nava (Why Do Fools Fall In Love?) directs this more-or-less official film biography of the late Mexican-American singer, Selena Quintanilla Perez (the film is coproduced by her father), which emphasizes sentimentality over conflict and plays down the star's horrific death at the hands of a deranged fan. Jennifer Lopez is quite good as Selena, whose roots we come to know through the story of her father (Edward James Olmos), a Corpus Christi singer who was rejected by white audiences. The script focuses primarily on Selena's inspiring rise, and it tries to muster some sense of urgent conflict over not-particularly-contentious issues (such as her relationship with a guitarist). But Olmos does a fine job portraying the elder Perez as a possessive sort, and the music and general buoyancy of Lopez's performance are infectious. The unavoidable subject of Selena's killer--a woman who happened to be the president of her fan club--is considerably and oddly downplayed. The film's original widescreen presentation and Dolby soundtrack can be appreciated on the DVD release. --Tom Keogh\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47583675842778,"sku":"9332412010140","price":12.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/SELENA_shr1ex.jpg?v=1770974791","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/selena-import-australia-import-ntsc-region-0-dvd","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
