Excellent atmospheric film for amateur and connoisseur of opera, the scenes such as rehearsals and shows are truly moving. Under the scene of social relationships are very well depicted. The scenario never fails in easy storytelling such as excess in showing's libertinage or Venitian scenery, just enough to feel how incredibly free were people in this republique and how Venice is such a mysterious and fascinating place. And above Il Bohemo is great to discover in good screening conditions: Athens quality of filmmaking, the art of staging and acting will transport you inside such a lifetime. Far from American cheesy productions, a masterpiece coproduction in Europe at the crossroads of old Europe, between Czech, Italian and French. You may find this movie a bit slow, 2 hours 22 minutes, let's saying it's a good pace to enter historic mood, candlelight, rowing and horseback...and only acoustic live music to express feelings and emotions that are still remaining.
