Carmen
Directed by Francesco Rosi
Produced by Opera Film Produzione, Productions Marcel Dassault
A passionate operatic tragedy of desire and jealousy set in 19th-century Spain, where romantic obsession leads inexorably toward despair and violence.
In the early 19th century, in Seville and the surrounding area, Carmen seduces the sergeant Don José, who deserts the army to be with her. But the beautiful gypsy falls in love with the bullfighter Escamillo, much to Don José’s despair.
