What??

first of all, Garanca is, in a word, fabulous. Not only does she look and sound incredible, she is always in the moment...focused, believable,...we always feel we are looking at Carmen, not some impersonator.
Unfortunately, Alagna fell into the operatic trap of generalized emotion and stock gestures. He mentioned in the interview that he found Jose hard to sing, and then proved it. We didn't see a tortured man who has ruined his life and others as well, but a singer struggling to reach the notes, with distorted rhythm, gulping breaths and little connection with his Carmen. A shame. Still, this is an incredible medium and a great addition to the arts scene. Bravo everyone. And Roberto...focus!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
