Opera

a beautiful blend of obsession, blood, and opera ! breathtaking cinematography, extravagant sets, gorgeous lighting, and an absolutely mesmerizing use of color. i particularly love the unexpected bursts of 80s heavy metal during the murder sequences. it’s something about the contrast between the grandiosity of classical opera and those unapologetically loud guitar riffs that is simply delicious ! and there is something so perversely fascinating about the idea of being forced to watch, unable to close your eyes, while beauty and violence unfold right in front of you. the ravens, the music, the sheer extravagance of it all, a true feast for the eyes, even when the eyes themselves are the instruments of torture 🩸
