My partner and I watched this film because the blurb indicated that it was a gay movie, but as it turned out, the blurb was misleading.
There was a bit of homophobia at the end, but it occupied only a tiny portion of the 104 or so minutes of the film.
The scenes were done on a bare-bones set, which is fine. One of the best production of the opera Carmen that I've seen, was when a traveling company came through our city and performed. The singing was first class, and the sets consisted of a bunch of wooden boxes. The mezzo-soprano who sang the title role was a dead ringer for a young Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara.
Back to the movie. The acting was less than great, and we paused the playback several times to discuss whether we should continue watching it. Unfortunately, we kept slogging through it, wondering all the while why we bothered.
