Selena

1997 • NR • Series • Catalog pick

The nuts and bolts of the irresistibly danceable music called Tejano are pop, rock, polka, R&B and Latin influences. To millions of fans, there's another vital ingredient: the dynamic singer Selena. Selena is the vibrant story of the Grammy-winning singer whose life ended at it's creative peak. Pulsating with Selena's voice on the soundtrack, the film is bracingly authentic. In the title role, Jennifer Lopez powerfully captures the warmth and electricity of a beloved entertainer. Edward James Olmos, Jon Seda and others also shine in a poignant, heartwarming movie that deserves a standing ovation (Jules Peimer, WKDM-RADIO/NEW YORK).
