Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English The work of Hector Berlioz has brightened up the opera world, and has subsequently entered the pantheon of acclaimed classics. With assured direction coming from Sir John Eliot Gardiner, and Susan Graham and Gregory Kunde in the lead roles, a moving interpretation of Berlioz's superlative work is conjured up.

Hector Berlioz - Les Troyens Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Five Hours of Delightful Music
Essential watching/listening for all who love the music of Berlioz. Gardiner's conducting, the orchestra's playing (using many original instruments, I believe), the mise-en-scène, the choral work, and the performance of all the soloists, Anna Caterina Antonacci (stunningly beautifuls as Cassandre), Gregory Kunde (Enée), and Susan Graham (Didon)are all in perfect accord. A performance to come back to againa dna again.

Ingmar Bergman has stated that THE MAGIC FLUTE had long since been an inspiration to him by the time he directed this movie version of an actual staging of Mozart's opera. In Emanuel Schikaneder's libretto--performed here in Swedish instead of German--Prince Tamino (Josef Köstlinger) is sent by the mysterious and powerful Queen of the Night (Birgit Nordin) to rescue her daughter, Pamina (Irma Urrila), from the sorcerer Sarastro (Ulrik Cold), who has kidnapped the girl. Tamino is aided on his mission by the bird catcher Papageno (Håkan Hagegård), an endearing buffoon (and arguably the opera's most popular character) who wants nothing more than to find himself a loving wife. The director presents a shortened version of the story, enhanced with a Freudian plot element (of sorts), while also giving the piece a slight overhaul for a more modern, less politically questionable feel. Bergman shows the goings-on onstage, often zooming in for close-ups of the performers' interaction with one another, interspersed with shots of individual faces in the audience. The ...

Hector Berlioz - Les Troyens review
$10.29
With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic captains "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus. Other characters include the uptight ...
