6/10
Good and Bad
30 December 2021
"Interlude in Prague" is an odd movie in that it is two-faced, being part horror movie and part musical. I enjoyed the lighter musical parts but the darker horror parts of the patronly stalker preying on women I did not enjoy. While I understand that stories need conflict, it just seemed too much here, having the film focus on adultery, rape, and murder. I thought this film would be a nice light vehicle to showcase some of Mozart's music and opera but it was too dark. And the cinematography was literally dark as well. I don't know why most modern films use dark camera hues or filters; I hate it. I want to see natural colors as they are. But on the positive side there was some good settings, costumes, acting, singing and music in this film. All in all I rate it a 6/10, worth watching once, not sure if I would watch it again though.
