Modern Opera - Johanna review by JD
This is a modern opera.
Surely this is such an important point that it should be written prominently on the case or mentioned in the review. Not a word is spoken. The unaccompanied music is contemporary, not particularly my thing.
If this is what you are expecting; and it is quite as arty as you would expect given that, it is quite a reasonable film. I wasn't expecting that so the shock lasted a while.
Most of the film is set in a slum hospital. I'm not sure why it was so grotesque.
