Leave your thoughts about The Death of Klinghoffer.
| Filmcritic.comMark AthitakisWoolcock mostly makes the film work visually -- she's excellent at the pointed close-up and frenzied camera movements. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJoshua KosmanSellars' original staging was a stylized, almost pageant-like affair, which allowed the creators to claim descent for the piece from Bach's Passions. Without that fig leaf, the ugliness at the heart of the work ... becomes all the more apparent. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereUses the film medium to amplify the sense of the historic sweep of events and the tragedy of conflict amongst peoples for a safe haven on an ever shrinking, ever more contentious planet. |
| User ReviewLee MIf Gotz Friedrich set the archetype for how to film opera with "Salome," Penny Woolcock played against form and went documentary-style to great success, in this context of terrorism which most of us thankfully experience so far in the form of mere broadcast news. |
| User ReviewScott CThe music is fantastic and the cast does a good job, but it suffers a little in translation to the screen. I've never seen it staged, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it seemed a little lackluster. |
| User ReviewWill DI first caught a glimpse of this film on TV years ago; the scene I remember was of a guy thrown off a white boat and drowned (looked like an 80s movie), but what made it special was the dialogue was all sung in opera. This made me fascinated in this movie for years, for I never knew the title. Finally, thanks to a couple of similar sources to the scene I remember, I found out the name of the movie, and having seen familiar clips online, I knew what I was looking for and decided to buy it immediately. Well, having seen it, I have to say this movie's okay. It drags on at parts and you lose track of interest in the characters that way. But it's not that bad. What this movie tries to do is something new: a true story of a terrorist hijacking, set to traditional opera. Almost everyone sings their dialogue. It's humorous, but serious. That alongside the music adds to the impact on the scenes you see. It's that only charm that makes the movie fascinating to watch. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this as a movie you'd watch again and again. The only moment in this movie I'll remember is the scene I first saw on TV years ago. |
