I recently watched this again on DVD along

I recently watched this again on DVD along with my girlfriend, who had never seen it. Several of the segments were confusing, and at times the nudity (mostly female) seemed to exist because the directors enjoyed working with beautiful nude women. There were some high points, however. The depiction of two lovers in the "dead city" of Korngold's opera was beautifully shot (was it in Bruges, the locale of the opera?); The aria from "Louise," in which an elderly woman looks back on her joyful youth was touching; the comedy of a married couple both cheating on their spouses at the same resort (while an Elvis impersonator sings "La donna e mobile") was a highlight; and the framing device (no plot spoiler here) was well crafted. A number of the arias were sung by Leontine Price, who may be the greatest soprano of all time.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

An ambitious and interesting experiment to bring together

An ambitious and interesting experiment to bring together a group of acclaimed indie directors to present various short stories set to the sound of many different operas. As most experiments go some segments work, some don't with Franc Roddam and Charles Sturridge's segments reign supreme and Jean-Luc-Godard and Robert Altman's segments fall flat disastrously. Give it a watch for some unique imagery and music on display along with the late great John Hurt in a central role.
