...scene and the music and the play of the light reflecting off the spinning record and onto the ceiling. A disembodied voice like that of Jim Morrison in The Doors’s “Soft Parade” begins to narrate. The 20-minute “opera?? continues with a music mash-up that would have Girl Talk drooling with envy. Opera, blues, narration, electric guitar, “When a Man Loves a Woman,” and more combine with the lights and the ambient noise to place the viewer squarely...
...You’ve Got Mail” with a pedophiliac twist. This is one superb film by all accounts that you won’t be able to shake off.

The plot draws greatly from “Phantom of the Opera??—including the masked protagonist—however, the film’s love story between Evey and V feels rushed. Following her torture at the hands of V, Evey ends up predictably, but not convincingly, falling in love with her captor. Ironically,it is the semi-poignant vignette of lesbian love that overshadows the romantic bond between the film?...
