Revealed anew in a remarkable 4K Technicolor restoration, Powell and Pressburger’s 1951 musical phantasmagoria is a dazzling take on Jacques Offenbach’s 1881 opera.
A poet dreams of three women – a mechanical performing doll, a bejewelled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer – all of whom break his heart in different ways. Feverishly romantic, Powell and Pressburger’s adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, a sensual delight, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced.
