Enrico Caruso: A Voice for the Ages

2022 · 53 min · ★ 9.0 · Documentary

Born in 1873 in a poor neighbourhood in Naples, Enrico Caruso conquered the world with his singing voice. At the age of 27 he got a contract at the Scala in Milan, and his already considerable popularity skyrocketed thanks to the invention of the gramophone. He sold millions of records, and garnered international acclaim. In 1903 he moved to New York to perform at the prestigious Metropolitan Opera, in the role of Radames. But his riches and fame attracted the attention of the Mafia, who started blackmailing him. He felt trapped by his fame and died at just 48 years old. Biographer Francesco Canessa, the music critic Jürgen Kesting and the composer Micha Hamel explain the ups and downs of the man behind the timeless Italian voice.

From popular piety to blockbuster, from musical to social criticism - Jesus Christ has many faces in film history. And the Italian city of Matera has often served as the backdrop for the Holy Land. Both Pier Paolo Pasolini's early masterpiece “Il Vangelo secondo Matteo” and Mel Gibson's controversial interpretation “The Passion of Christ” were filmed here. Gibson's film and Martin Scorsese's “The Last Temptation of Christ” caused a stir and scandal in 1988 and 2004 respectively. Milo Rau's interpretation also goes beyond the traditional. In “The New Gospel”, the Swiss director links the story of Jesus with current social struggles and presents a revolutionary Christ.
