The writer of the below 'criticism' of Aria seems to have missed the point.

This omnibus directors fest brings together 10 different filmmakers making 10 different films based on operatic arias. Jean-Luc Godard is stylistically the boldest, Robert Altman possibly the most imaginative, Franc Roddam celebrates American glitz, and Bruce Beresford is the most sentimental. Nearly all the other filmmakers involved--including Nicolas Roeg, Ken Russell, Julien Temple, Charles Sturridge, Derek Jarman, and Bill Bryden--are (or were, in the case of the late Jarman) world-class talents, but you wouldn't know that from their murky participation here. --Tom Keogh Unquote

But at least this snippet suffices to remind anyone who has viewed Aria what it was all about.

For this viewer, the Liebestod soundtrack accompanying the [Bridget Fonda] ill-starred episode was unforgettable.

Anyone else?
