Description
A not too thinly veiled rocker take on “The Phantom of the Opera,” this film also takes inspiration from novels like “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and “Faust.” A disfigured musical composer’s music is stolen by the corrupt producer, Swan, who thinks the composition will be perfect for the opening of his concert hall, the Paradise. After being framed and jailed, the composer decides to exact his revenge, while meanwhile falling for Phoenix, one of the singers at the Paradise. The film succeeds by paying tribute to past works of horror and musicals, while also creating a truly original cinematic experience, even receiving Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for its score.
