| | Amazon.co.uk: Bizet: Carmen -- film version [1984]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Julia Migenes-Johnson is the most wanton, flirtatious, outright outrageously sexual Carmen I have ever seen, or listened to, in Francesco Rosi's lush 1984 film adaptation of Georges Bizet's opera, "Carmen," filmed on location in Andalusia. |
 | | The casting of the fiery femme fatale is essential to the success of the opera, because the diva must be able to project femininity, defiance and sensuality, as well as a phenomenal mezzo-soprano voice in order to be believable. |
 | | The subtitles (the film is in French) are useful and not intrusive on the DVD version. |
