This was outstanding. Opera could very much be a metaphor for film to me, and the great way that opera dominates the life of addict Jules here could easily apply to me in my approach to film, and ANY remarkable actress of today.

For example, if I could travel back in time, I would easily have felt this way about Garbo, who is my favourite actress ever...

Probably the best thing Luc Besson ever laid his hands on...
