Challenging, confrontational, baffling-but great!, 26 September 2000
10/10
Author: Kalman Dee (kal.dee@cmis.csiro.au) from Canberra, Australia

I saw this movie on SBS ( God bless them ) last night. It's vintage Greenaway, multi-layered, thought-provoking and mind-( and eye- and ear- )boggling. The opera is great, too, both the music and the singing, especially Esmeralda. The male lead was a bit weak compared to the two females. All in all, it's 10 stars from me, I was glued to the TV.
