Opera (1987)
Directed by Dario
Argento this film stars Cristina Marsillach, Ian Charleson, Urbano
Barberini and Daria Nicolodi. A young understudy gets her big break
in an opera version of Macbeth but the production is troubled by dark
events.
Much of the plot of
this giallo is as you would expect but it has a couple of nice
touches that produce some grim sequences. It would have been nice if
the link between the plot of the film and Macbeth was played up a
little more but in general the story does it's job. Where the film is
at it's strongest is the direction which has some impressive sweeping
camera moves, mixing opera and rock for the sound track is a little
strange at times but the film gets by.
4/5
