Introduction: Rita Boronyák, researcher, archivist, National Film Institute - Film Archive
This opera adaptation by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger showcases all the many virtues of the great director duo. Offenbach’s fever-dream, grandiose composition, which could never be accused of having a uniform and straightforward plotline, has been staged by many other filmmakers including William Friedkin, better known as director of the classic horror movie The Exorcist. It is not the plot, or not only the plot that the British directors saw in it, but the whole imagery of Hoffmann’s weird cosmology: it is as if The Red Shoes had become mixed up with Nosferatu the Vampyre.
