| | An exquisite movie! | 10/18/2006 | | I saw the movie when it opened in Santa Barbara in 1983. I have been trying to find a copy, off and on ever since. The imagery, the reflections, the insight into North and South American cultures are extraordinary. |

This is the story of Selena's (Jennifer Lopez) rise as a singer of Tejano music. Her untimely death (she was slain by a "fan" in 1995) interrupted her path to fame and fortune. The story is good, but it is the music that brought fans to the theater. 2 User Reviews
