‘Verdi’s fallen woman falls and falls again in this dreamlike documentary by Philippe Béziat, first into the arms of her lover, then into oblivion … the film is as much about how our relationship to this most famous opera changes with each encounter as it is about the process by which soprano Natalie Dessay assumes the central role in this production.’ Anna Picard
