Plot:	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.
Overview:	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.
