French Movie

We are having a French Film Festival here at the moment.  Last night we saw a movie called "Voys n'avex encore rien vu"  which was translated as "You Ain't seen Nothin Yet!' (horrible trnaslation)

It was really about Orpheus and Eurydice.  I learnt this role in Gluck's opera many years ago and now can not stop singing this aria.  I won a competition singing this a long time ago.  Love Kathleen Ferriers rendition.  I know she is mainly heard singing this in English but I learnt the role in Italian and that is the only way I can sing it.

I remember seeing a very weird retelling of the Orpheus story, set in a multilevel carpark. It's amazing how resilient strong stories are in the face of directorial messing around!
