Don Giovanni (1979)

My rating: 6/10

Fuck Around and Find Out: The Opera: The Movie

This is quite lavishly produced, with great costumes, sets and locations, though it still feels a bit stagey at times, and I know you don't go to the opera for the plot, but I can't help but feel that the whole "haunted statue sends the protagonist to hell" bit could've been set up a bit better - as it is, it feels like a bit of a diabolus ex machina, if you will. Also, I would've rather liked to actually see the bastard suffer a bit, but that may just be me.

The music is great, though, and I gotta say, when the guy is like "Don Giovanni is a WHORE, and I have PROOF" and then unrolls that giant list of women he's slept with? That is a solid bit.
