In the 18th century during Handel's time, no man was more famous or more celebrated than the castrato, Farinelli. The incredible, true story of the world famous opera singer - who was castrated during childhood in order to preserve his voice - comes to life in this Oscar-nominated drama of high notes and even higher passions.

For all its emotional extravagance and sheer Baroque lushness, Farinelli is actually a triumph of taut control and superb structuring. --Kevin Thomas, The LA Times

Farinelli is great fun and sufficiently thoughtful and complex to give food for continuing thought. --Culture Vulture

Wow another from my wishlist. This flick has amazing costumes, set design, music, and cinematography. Still have my vhs copy. I was blown away when i saw this way back when. Last time i viewed this, was on a 29 inch tv with whatever speaker was in there. Oh shite...this on my plasma with surround sound. Peeps check this movie out. Its like a rock n roll movie for the 1700s or whenever it was.

"Farinelli,.....bring back..the sun."

Wow! Deep wish list film for me. Have been kicking myself for years for getting rid of my DVD so long ago.

Are the English subtitles optional. Can this movie be viewed in the original French and Italian audio without any subtitles which so ever.

Oh great, an SD upscale. I'm amazed that garbage like this is still released on blu-ray.

This is a 2K remaster, not a SD upscale!
