About this movie

Mozart's classic opera The Magic Flute is breathtakingly transformed into a spectacular new English language film directed by Kenneth Branagh with a newly adapted libretto by Stephen Fry. On the eve of the First World War a magical drama unfolds as Tamino sets forth on a perilous journey in pursuit of love, light, and peace in a world afflicted by darkness, death, and destruction. An eerie quiet descends over a landscape still untouched by conflict as Tamino waits anxiously with his fellow recruits for the command to go into battle. What ensues is a spectacular musical adventure in which the blossoming love between Tamino and Pamina, the beautiful daughter of the Queen of the Night, may help determine the fate of a nation and the destiny of millions. - A Revolver Entertainment Release 2012

Ratings and reviews

If you don't like opera you won't like this movie, but if, like me, you are an opera fan then this is a must! Brilliant, funny, weird, and touching - makes the Magic Flute watchable even for us diehard Puccini addicts.
