| User ReviewRoberto Dinteressantissimo musical tedesco di epoca nazista, ma non di ispirazione nazista. gran lavoro sulle fonti classiche e sulla loro ricezione, con risultati deliziosi e divertenti: una vera chicca in versi, rima e musica, con scenografie e trucchi cinematografici veramente degni di nota. unico problema: circola solo in germania in versione originale con sottotitoli tedeschi per non udenti. distribuzione italiana cercasi, perche' ne vale la pena |
