Movie: DIVA DOLOROSA DVD

In this mesmerizing collage of silent Italian melodrama, found-footage filmmaker Peter Delpeut affectionately captures the spirit of World War I-era opera-cum-cinema diva. In all-but-lost gems such as La donna nuda (1914) and Tigre reale (1916), superstars Lyda Borelli and Pina Menichelli portrayed heroines teetering dangerously between defiant indulgence in sexual passion and hysterical remorse at their own cruelties. The beautifully woven narrative of tempted fate and self-torment is elegantly guided by Loek Dikker's original score.
