Uniform Title:
Les contes d'Hoffmann
Content:
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger create a phantasmagoric marriage of cinema and opera in this one-of-a-kind take on a classic story. In Jacques Offenbach's fantasy opera The Tales of Hoffmann, a poet dreams of three women̶a mechanical performing doll, a bejeweled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer̶all of whom break his heart in different ways. Powell and Pressburger's feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced. (Covertext)
