Dario Argento’s gleefully grisly giallo ‘Opera’ opened in theaters in Italy this day 35 years ago. 🎼👀🔫

Opera

Dario Argento’s camera prowls relentlessly through the corridors of Parma’s Teatro Reggio in OPERA (1987, Shudder, Tubi), aka TERROR AT THE OPERA. With cinematographer Ronnie Taylor’s color work accompanied by excerpts from Verdi, Rossini and Puccini operas, it’s the most sumptuous of all his films. When the actual score by Brian Eno, Claudio Simonetti and Bill Wyman cuts in, it’s almost a disappointment. More disappointing is the failure of Argento’s script to measure up to the visuals. It’s not a bad idea. An understudy (Crischristtina Marsillach) becomes an overnight star when she takes over the leading role in Verdi’s MACBETH, only to be stalked by a killer. For all the beautiful camera work, Aregento can’t seem to resist lapsing into strange excesses like shots of a pulsating brain as the killer stalks Marsillach and flashbacks that pop in with no preparation. At times you’re not sure if you’re watching the current action or the traumatic past. And as in many horror films, the plot advances because the characters do inexplicably stupid things. More effective is a callback to his earlier CREEPERS, with vengeful ravens, in place of the earlier film’s love-starved chimp, playing a key role in the climax.

The film holds together better thematically. The killer uses a device to force Marsillach to watch his crimes, a metaphor for the way directors like Argento force audiences to watch unspeakable acts. Like many slashers, the film has lots of shots from the killer’s point of view as he stalks the young woman. There’s a shadowy figure spying on her through the ventilation system in her apartment. And one victim makes the mistake of staring through a peephole for too long.

The one element that matches the visuals best, however, is the acting. Along with Argeto regulars like former partner Daria Nicolodi, who’s very funny as Marsillach’s manager and studly Urbano Barberini as a police detective, he has William McNamara making interesting physical choices in his film debut as the stage manager (though you’d have to wait a year for his voice to catch up; he’s dubbed with a British accent in this one) and Ian Charleson, in his last film, as a horror film director taking on this highly conceptual production of MACBETH (Argento had been fired from a production of RIGOLETTO a few years earlier, which partly inspired this film). Best of all is Marsillach. She’s a total naif off-stage, an inexperienced, self-doubting young singer who moves like a child. But when she steps on-stage to play Lady Macbeth, she’s as fierce as Verdi’s music. When Charleson comes up with a plan to catch the killer during the performance, she manages to combine that commitment to the role with her character’s trepidation at the thought of facing her tormentor. And at the end, she accomplishes something rare in the giallo — character growth. Far from the shell-shocked heroines in so many horror films, including Argento’s, she develops a degree of self-determination that’s rather moving.

A Wedding for Christmas (2018)

Obviously she's conventionally pretty, but like... does she look super annoying to anyone else? Because that really impacted my attitude during this movie.

Haley Foster (Cristine Prosperi) is a high end wedding planner in LA, dating high end lawyer Ryan (Curtis McGann) and impressing her boss Ms. Reynolds (Vivica A. Fox). She is excited for her sister's upcoming wedding in Fiji even though it doesn't give her much to plan (she claims that planning her sister's wedding has been her dream since she was a little girl). That is, until a family dinner, when Angela (Natalie Mauro) and her fiancé Paul (Robert Livingston) decide that they would rather get married on Angela and Haley's grandpa's Christmas tree farm in a small town called Truxton on Christmas Eve. It's relevant to say that it's like late November at this point. The farm isn't in the family anymore either. When their grandpa passed away, their dad Frank (William McNamara) sold it and moved to LA.

Haley clearly has her work cut out for her. She seems to have taken time off from work, but that is unclear. Ms. Reynolds bugs her about doing other weddings, but Haley kinda blows her off. So. Idk. She's staying in Truxton on the farm with the current owner- her childhood neighbor and friend Carter Wilson (Colton Little). Haley is trying to do an LA style wedding on a farm, so she crashes and burns at first, offending everyone in town. Once she realizes that there is beauty in simple and rustic things, she shifts her design for the wedding and things go much more smoothly. Until a big snow storm is on the horizon for the night of the 23rd.

There are so many wedding planner Christmas movies and if I were a more organized person, I would see if that trend started before JLo starred in The Wedding Planner or after. I would guess after, so we can blame her. Anyway, so the acting in this film was mediocre at best. There was some chemistry between the characters, so that helped. But the music wasn't good, and obviously between the wedding planner trope, the small town/Christmas tree farm trope, and the childhood friend trope, this movie is completely predictable.

Overall, I give it 2 stars. Tolerable but tiring.
