Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Schroeter's tribute to the nineteenth-century opera diva unfolds in tableaux and operatic excerpts with Magdalena Montezuma and Candy Darling. Camp, theatrical and fervent, it is an extravagant, hypnotic homage to passion and art.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
