There are breathtaking films, and there is The Tales of Hoffmann, one of the most visually stunning films of all time. Bask in the out-of-this-world beauty of this newly restored version of the 1951 Powell and Pressburger classic, based on the 1881 opera by Jacques Offenbach. An anthology of fantastic and romantic adventures, recounted by the fableist Hoffmann (Robert Rounseville) and featuring Moira Shearer (The Red Shoes), Ludmilla Tchérina, and Ann Ayars. The film has been singled out by both Martin Scorsese and George A. Romero as a major influence on their own work. Beyond jaw-dropping, this visual masterpiece is a big screen essential for any film lover.
