Massenet Thais (2008)
There's an uncompromising clarity to Blu-ray audio and video that really does bring the splendour of grand opera right into the living room. So it's all the more frustrating to get a compromised production as the final product. Jules Massenet's 1894 tragedy about a sex goddess humbled by an insistent Cenobite monk isn't produced very often, because of a demanding lead role and some difficult staging issues. But the music is gorgeous from beginning to end. When you have a great diva at centre stage, the three acts go by in a flash.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Overrated and overhyped
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
