L'homme qui avait peur des femmes

Guilhem lives in a small village in the Hérault valley. He is 39 years old and has never really been with a girl. While waiting for true love to miraculously fall into his lap, Guilhem leads the life of a confirmed bachelor. When he's not at his vineyard, he's at the bar or with his best friend Raph. They have always lived this way: the streets, friends, the village, soccer. One day, he encounters a miracle. Her name is Marie, she is an angel, and she is free. He doesn't know how to approach her, he thinks he is ugly, he is afraid of women, he has no chance, but never mind. He sets off in search of true love.

NR N/A
The Tales of Hoffman

“With this lavish colour production of Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffman, we are in more conventional, though never dull, territory. It is a handsome, well sung version which stands up well to the contemporary BBC 2 version that graced our screens a Christmas or two ago. (This, too, was a Christmas-time, prestige production). The production and adaptation is by Václav Kaslic, who has produced the opera many times on stage: here he makes imaginative use of the new medium to overcome difficulties inherent in some stories. He has a fine cast, including Jon Piso as a robust Hoffman[,] Sylvia Geszty, Thomas Tipton and Herold Kraus. The orchestra and chorus are from the Bavarian State Opera.” - Brian Baxter, for the BFI.
