As director David Mallet said, this was 'Freddie being Freddie' and wow, Freddie was a wealth of ideas and talent. This is evident in the detail that went into recreations of past Queen and solo video sets to put together 'The Great Pretender' (both video versions included), and the sets and costumes for masses of extras in every production. Freddie had a lot to do with the concept of each video, and never once do they overpower the music itself.
These are what music videos are all about: sound and vision.and care. The commercial muck that MTV/VH1 tried to pass off as music videos was crime, and it's more a crime that the videos on this DVD were largely ignored in the United States.
This compilation of Freddie Mercury's 'solo' efforts is a true celebration! Songs and music videos on GRAND scale, from the exquisite performances with Montserrrat to the daring and notorious 'Living On My Own,' anyone who truly appreciates the joy an artist shares with people will never tire of this DVD.
