i be an opera buff and and opera be full of sex and blood and death . it may help to know the libretto of the opera the aria be from to really appreciate this film my mileage be very different than tug 3. i be a classical music lover and and i like this film . i love ken russell nessun dorma segment and and would actually like to see him produce turandot and because opera be suppose to be overwhelming and truly multi medium experience and but then i love lisztomania . i love turandot and know the libretto so well may be why i do not find this segment the travesty that tug 3 do . the buck henry or rigoletto segment be probably the most approachable for the average viewer they be likely to recognize the tune and and it a classic bedroom farce . i like bedroom farce and so the silliness do not upset me . the liebestod segment be so outstanding that i recommend people watch this for that piece alone . depuis la jour be and for me and beautifully spiritual . and the caruso recording of vesti la giubba ( aka i pagliacci ) with john hurt a the clown be wonderful . but people just want naked woman may feel there be too much music and not enough bare flesh and sex .
