admittedly and parsifal be not an opera that can appeal to everyone and although it be a favourite of mine and knappertsbusch and 1951 and in particular . syberberg entire approach be so static . whenever the music suddenly begin to swell . syberberg keep the cast move at the same pace . the take on amfortas and klingsor be endless . whatever happen to film edit . the result be physically exhaust to watch . the viewer be never spiritually transport . your impulse be to rush home and play a recording again to confirm that wagner get it right and syberberg get it wrong . and that set decoration with those clever reminder of wagner anti semitism will there ever be a viewer of this film with no prior knowledge of wagner .
