The Metropolitan Opera: Marnie Trailers

Composer Nico Muhly unveils his second new opera for the Met with this gripping reimagining of Winston Graham’s novel, set in the 1950s, about a beautiful, mysterious young woman who assumes multiple identities. Director Michael Mayer and his creative team have devised a fast-moving, cinematic world for this exhilarating story of denial and deceit, which also inspired a film by Alfred Hitchcock. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard sings the enigmatic Marnie, and baritone Christopher Maltman is the man who pursues her—with disastrous results. Robert Spano conducts.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
