No other opera has ever expressed the horror and tragedy of all-consuming hatred with such alarming intensity. And these performances, plus the superb cinematography, editing, etc. are superb. Hard to imagine it better realized.
I am chosing which version of Elektra in DVD I will buy from amazon. This is the probably the chosen one. And with a documentary together? I really like documentaries about compositions or recordings or the making of the movie.
I think every other Asian horror film in the past two decades was visually inspired by Freidrich's visual design of Elektra. This could easily be Ringu, the opera, for instance. Absolutely stunning visual work. His Salome was brilliant, too. Thank you for sharing this scene with us.
@operaleonie It is available at least from Amazon (in US and UK), 22 $ or 19 £ + postage. The set contains also an interesting document on making of the movie.
Rysanek and Varnay are absolutely superb! What acting and vocalisation! Varnay,s facial expressions alone could have won her an Oscar. Bravi
