With the color of opera, the whole movie develops in the dark. Although it is only a simple story, it is not easy to make it so gorgeous. Although it is a gothic movie, it is visually a little gothic. The beauty inside has become a real blackness. The singing is not great in it, but the soundtrack is still good. I really want to see how the original stage play looks like.
