How it feels
This film strips away the folkloric elements of Georges Bizet's opera Carmen to focus on its tragic core. It uses a stark stylized set and a small ensemble of 16 musicians. The story follows the doomed romance between the soldier Don Jose and the fiery Carmen.

What happens
La tragedie de Carmen è un film del 1983 diretto da Peter Brook. Film musicale uscito nelle sale francesi il 2 novembre 1983, inedito in Italia. Il film è un adattamento cinematografico della celeberrima Carmen di Georges Bizet, e già dal titolo se ne deduce l'intento di Brook: eliminare completamente la dimensione folcloristica dell'opera di Bizet per concentrarsi solo ed esclusivamente sulla dimensione tragica dell'opera attraverso una scenografia stilizzata e una dimensione musicale affidata a soli 16 esecutori. La sceneggiatura è di Marius Constat, Jean-Claude Carrière e Peter Brook. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
