Rating:  - Yentl
I have loved Yentl since I was 5 years old. It is a movie I loved watching every year until my vhs got stuck in my player and ruined. I hate it that it isn't on DVD and I don't understand why it isn't. I would pay over $[...] for a DVD that was well done and legal from America. I wish it would get put on DVD like all the other classics. I miss Yentl all the time!

Rating: - Where is the DVD ?
I saw "Yentl" back in 1983 with my neice and fell in love with it. Streisand is at her very best in this film. But can someone tell me "Where" is the DVD version available for the USA ?
Rating: - one of the best films of Barbra Streisand's career.....
It took me many, many years to see YENTL and I am so glad that I finally did. What an amazing accomplishment for Barbra Streisand, in this, her directorial debut. YENTL went on to win a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. This is the film adaptation of the story written by Isaac Bashevis Singer. It takes a look at the determination of one young woman, Yentl, and her quest for education in 1904 Eastern Europe, when young women in her village were forbidden to become literate. Raised by a Rabbi father (Nehemiah Persoff), the young girl learns the sacred text of the Telmud in secret, when the shades are drawn, and under his watchful eye. Yentl is headstrong and fiercely determined to learn at any cost, in the face of the values imposed on women by a male dominated society. When her father passes away, Yentl decides to cut her hair, don trousers in the guise of a young boy, in order to finally have a chance at the education she hungers for. On the way, she encounters Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin), a fellow classmate, and his beautiful fiancee, Hadass (Amy Irving, who received a well-earned Oscar nomination for the role).
This film is filled with beautiful music (this includes the ever popular "Papa, Can You Hear Me"), strong and engaging acting and beautiful artistic direction. My only complaint is that this hasn't been released and distributed more widely on DVD in the United States. This film is worthy of preservation and carries a great message about the triumph of the human spirit and the emancipation of women in the face of great obstacles and social oppression. We are truly privileged that Ms. Streisand brought YENTL to the screen with such success. Highly reccomended.
Rating: - One of my favorites!
This is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it many times since it first came out. The story is creative and the soundtrack is just beautiful! Whatever you may think of Barbra Streisand personally, she is incredibly talented and one of the best artists of my generation (I'm 49).
I certainly don't understand why Ms. Streisand's movies take years and years to come out on DVD. We waited three long years to get "A Star Is Born" even after Amazone said it was going to be released! We'd given up hope of ever receiving it, although we finally did.
I highly recommend this movie!
