Phantom of the Opera
“The screen's classic of terror!”
HorrorRomanceDramaMusic
Pit violinist Claudin hopelessly loves rising operatic soprano Christine Dubois (as do baritone Anatole and police inspector Raoul) and secretly aids her career. But Claudin loses both his touch and his job, murders a rascally music publisher in a fit of madness, and has his face etched with acid. Soon, mysterious crimes plague the Paris Opera House, blamed on a legendary "phantom".
VIBE
A lavish, Technicolor gothic romance steeped in tragic obsession. The film feels like a grand, old-fashioned opera, full of soaring music, shadowed corridors, and a doomed love that haunts the gilded halls of the Paris Opera House.
