Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the recent movie adaption of < Carmen >. An apparent large scale production. Only none of the pieces from the opera were used. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A captivating adaptation of the classic opera Carmen. The plot isn't completely true to the play. It looks more like a soap opera. But anything with Paz Vega is worth the watch, and it still remains just as entertaining as the original play. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A most sensual adaptation of Bizet's famous tragic opera, "Carmen".
