Carmen (1910)
Work:: Carmen (1910) (S1886522559)
The intriguing paradox of silent movie opera is explored in this presentation of a silent-movie version of the most popular of all operas,
Carmen. Made in 1910, the movie borrows from the spectacular staging and melodramatic style of opera to give form and status to the art-form of film.
