Leave your thoughts about Opera.
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezArgento's Opera is a film of rare beauty, a celebration of love's absence and the ferocious force of the gaze. |
| StarburstMichael ColdwellAn exercise in extremity, always strongest when shunting things into overdrive. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesMovies like Opera can be treasures for minds inclined to dip further into the shadows. They are reminders that terror begins with uncertainty, not with howls of obvious pain. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonFor every gorgeously composed moment we see of the Macbeth live performances (inside an absolutely stunning opera house that I wish I could make into my very own lavish home), Argento in turn delivers up a merciless and savage death. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfStorytelling isn't much of a concern for Argento (it rarely is), but his gonzo interests remain flared up, enjoying one last romp armed with a reasonable budget and creative freedom, clearly relishing his time experimenting with operatic extremes. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonAn art film through and through, though it be an art film with an unusual number of bloody deaths... one of Argento's most memorable films. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickWith its grand scale and brooding themes, the art of opera fits neatly with Argento's lavish stylistics and dark preoccuptations as a filmmaker |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonArgento's masterful use of colors and music keep help to keep the film feeling fresh. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperThe color restoration is beautiful and Bluray shows off the color splendidly on home video. The singing is beautiful also. It is a pity the story was not more engaging. |
| Film and FeltGabe LeibowitzItalian horror master Dario Argento may have the most lopsided strengths and weaknesses of any director I've experienced. |
