PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (3PC)

Detalhes

• Informações de Contra-Capa:
  The immortal thespian and makeup genius Lon Chaney never looked better (or more frightening) than in this newly restored 1929 version of The Phantom of the Opera, brought to you by the British Film Institute (BFI). Digitally remastered in HD by Photoplay Productions, director Rupert Julian’s lavish adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 best-seller is given a compelling score by silent movie specialist Carl Davis (Napoleon) and is fully tinted throughout. The “Red Death crashes the Bal Masqué” scene—a prime example of the early use of Technicolor—looks eerily beautiful.
  
  The Film
  
  When the mysteriously disfigured Erik, aka the Phantom, falls in love with the voice of Christine, a young opera singer (played by winsome Mary Philbin), he coaxes her to enter his abode in the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House and teaches her to sing only for him… Christine soon sings better than opera diva Carlotta, for whom she understudies. Erik threatens the managers of the Paris Opera House with mass destruction (conspiring to drop an enormous chandelier onto the audience) unless Christine replaces Carlotta in the role of Marguerite in Faust. Eventually, the repulsive, infatuated Phantom hopes to get up close and personal with Christine, whom he expects will be grateful for the singing lessons and casting opportunity. Fat chance with a mug like that! (Even the child-like mask Erik wears to cover his nightmarish face is grotesque)!
