1951 魔宮豔舞 The Tales of Hoffmann
導演: 麥可鮑威爾 Michael Powell, 艾莫里普瑞斯伯格 Emeric Pressburger
《魔宮豔舞》改編自奧芬巴哈的同名歌劇，故事敘述在感情路上尋尋覓覓的苦心人哈弗曼，經過三段傷心的愛情，終於將情絲斬斷，投向繆司女神懷抱，終身奉獻給「詩」的藝術。經過《紅菱豔》與《黑水仙》的洗禮，鮑威爾和普瑞斯伯格這對黃金組合，更大膽地發想「作曲式電影」（composed film），將歌劇、芭蕾與影像徹底結合，狂放而華麗的風格宛如巨幅的潑墨畫！

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger create a phantasmagoric marriage of cinema and opera in this one-of-a-kind take on a classic story. In Jacques Offenbach’s fantasy opera The Tales of Hoffmann, a poet dreams of three women—a mechanical performing doll, a bejeweled siren, and the consumptive daughter of a famous composer—all of whom break his heart in different ways. Powell and Pressburger’s feverishly romantic adaptation is a feast of music, dance, and visual effects, and one of the most exhilarating opera films ever produced.
