A dramatic and exciting movie that follows Roxane Coss, the famous Opera singer who is invited to participate in a party that made by an important Japanese figure. After some time there, a gang attack the party and take people there as hostages to get their friends out of the prison. Hostages and kidnappers, they spend one month together through which they learn many valuable things.
Moore, like an upmarket version of Lina Lamont, in "Singin' in the Rain," lip-synchs convincingly to the sound of Renée Fleming. But not quite convincingly enough.
Oddly assembled and never quite convincing either as a human interest drama, a love story, or a thriller, Bel Canto tries to be a lamentation when it might have been better served to scream.
What makes every iteration of Bel Canto such a richly rewarding journey is the gradual evolution of its characters, who begin to form a makeshift family as the outside world grows more distant with every passing hour.
The film empathetically shows its characters' humanity and the unlikely relationships that develop between captor and captive, as political, linguistic and socioeconomic barriers break down amid their close quarters and shared awe for the music.
