Review of First Night

First Night (I) (2010)
7/10
Very entertaining and beautiful to look at
21 July 2014
The basis of the story is the presentation of an opera at a private home (mansion really) it is also a romance with several relationships (not all what the viewer might expect) going on.

If you love music, beautiful settings and scenery, attractive cast members, a behind the scenes look at what goes into a small production as presented here, try to see this thoroughly delightful film.

My husband and I were put in mind of Woody Allen's "midsummers eve" well that is without the Shakespere or fantasy elements. The pacing and the use of the properties to move the story forward though are very similar.

We have recently acquired a roku, and are disappointed that streamed films are not as numerous as DVDs from Netflix. So this film was a much appreciated surprise.
