rigoletto to rick I will readily admit that most of my knowledge of opera comes from Bugs and Elmer, so I was a little lost in watching a movie called Rick. Before I watched the movie I had been told that it was a reworking of the opera Rigoletto set in a modern setting, but since I didn't know the original story, I had no idea what to expect. Now having seen the whole movie, the influence from the earlier century becomes obvious. Where else could a curse play a central part in a story where power and desire come first in life? |
