An international collection of well-known directors contributed to this compilation film, each fashioning a short film inspired by an aria from a famous opera. The approaches vary broadly, from the playful abstraction of Jean-Luc Godard's segment, which illustrates "Armide" with exercising body-builders, to the more literal approach of Franc Roddam, who transports "Tristan und Isolde"'s story to modern-day Las Vegas. A particular stand-out is Julian Temple's take on "Rigoletto," which recasts Verdi as the accompaniment to a contemporary Southern California sex farce. Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide
