09/27/2014 not perfect but worth to see. See more 05/11/2014 Compare to the original manga, this live action is totally terrible = = Oscar is described as a heroic who lead French citizens to defeat Bastile prison in 14th July 1789. But in the movie, they cut it!!!!!!!!! It destroyed all history meaning of this story and the plots in manga were divided into some seperated pieces which were very boring to watch. Moreover, the main character, Oscar, was out of character from manga. I dont see anything of Oscar in the actress and the way movie described her =="" Truly disappointed about this adaption and I recommend you to watch anime version in 1979, it is much more better than this one. Dont waste time on it and be upset about what you watched! See more walter m @Harlequin68 10/17/2013 "Lady Oscar" starts with General de Jarjayes(Mark Kingston) being more saddened by the birth of another daughter who he calls Oscar, than the death of his wife in childbirth. As he intends her to be raised as a boy, the general employs Andre, the grandson of the nanny(Constance Chapman), as Oscar's companion, and as children they are inseparable. But as adults, they have to go their separate ways, as Oscar(Catriona MacColl) is appointed to the queen's guard while Andre(Barry Stokes) is left behind in the stables. While at court where her manner of dress is imitated, she gets to befriend Marie Antoinette(Christine Bohm) and Fersen(Jonas Bergstrom), a foreign dignitary, and fight a duel. All of which would make Robespierre(Christopher Ellison) angry if only he knew. "Lady Oscar" is a spirited genderblender that has a good deal of fun with history, even as it is strangely ambiguous about its eponymous heroine who is a precursor to a drag king, able to mix in society in a time when it was fashionable for men to be feminine. But still there were some things neither 1779 nor 1979 were ready for, even as Oscar does have her moment in the sun. However, that does not explain why she is sidelined at times in favor of a subplot about a necklace which is literally a different movie entirely. As far as this one goes, it is about how even in the most restrictive social environments like pre-revolution France, there are still choices to be made which everybody has to live with, even Marie Antoinette.

Unica - microscopica - nota positiva: il doppiaggio, con le stesse voci dell'anime! =) See more 06/03/2009 Not Demy's strongest movie.
