CANADA - COLOUR - 2011
A FILM BY LARRY WEINSTEIN
MULRONEY: THE OPERA is grounded in real-life situations of now-historical events with the actual words that were spoken (and now sung). Heightened through the transformation into opera, these incidents are elevated to epic proportions in the manner of great Shakespearian tragedies such as King Lear, Macbeth, and The Tempest.
Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney bemoans a lack of appreciation from his countrymen.
