Carmen Review
I enjoyed this for a reminder of the power of the original story. The lighting, atmosphere, direction, setting all convey the primaeval intensity of the relationship between Jose and Carmen better than the subsequent opera. Not that I don't love the opera, but the opera involves our senses and understanding via the music, in spite of the story. This movie involves us because of the story. Did I mention that it is primal? Yes, it is primal.
