Opera

Unmissibale on the big screen, Opera was originally conceived as a massive 8K installation project, telling the story of humanity’s endless repetition of its society and power structures. Touching on issues of racism, terrorism, religion, natural disasaters, war, education, economy and class, it’s a finely detailed, magnificent piece of work. A film that sweetly weaves together three storylines about odd couples. From a needy middle-aged hedgehog who wants to put his arms around a tender partner to a pair of oysters waiting for their lives to become synchronised. The minimalist palette somehow brings out the poignancy of their gestures.
