La Julia Migenes: LA Voix Humaine

As directed by feature film stalwart Peter Medak (The Changeling, The Krays), the avant-garde stage musical +La Voix Humaine unfurls in a Parisian hotel room circa 1930, where we witness a one-sided telephone conversation between an unstable young woman (American soprano Julia Migenes) and her deadbeat lover, who just recently jilted her. The actual narrative witnesses her breaking into song, then going through a number of emotional stages prior to committing suicide. Jean Cocteau authored the libretto, adapted from the tragedy by Fran?ois Poulenc. This release contains a film of the original production, which was mounted in 1990.
