Idomeneo

1982 · 185 min Music
9.0 / 10 · TMDB

Opera royalty Luciano Pavarotti brings dignity and power to the title role in this 1982 production. During a squall at sea, Idomeneo -- the king of Crete -- swears to Neptune that if the monarch survives, he'll sacrifice the first person he encounters onshore. Tragically, that person ends up being his son, Idamante (Frederica Von Stade). Maestro James Levine masterfully conducts the orchestra and chorus of the Metropolitan Opera. A musical production that was designed for the "Live From the Met" series, this program was produced by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Idomeneo is an exceptional film rated 9.0/10. It ranks among the finest in its genre and is an absolute must-watch for any film lover.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A classic from 1982. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
