A 78-as Szent Johannája (2003)
Directed by Kornél Mundruczó
Overview
Jeanne’s beautiful breasts spill out from her torn clothes, and her gouged internal organs lie beneath. The contrast between death and eroticism is captured in a profound image. The opera that unfolds in the underground ward comes to a powerful catastrophe with jazz-like dissonance. Are they the living or the dead, shedding blood and singing in high spirits? The director comments, “This film will be the beginning of a new contemporary opera film“.
