The Passion of Scrooge
Synopsis
Is this a film about Scrooge? About a composerâs life? An opera within an opera? The Passion of Scrooge blurs these lines between performance, documentary, and fiction, into a cinematic concert experience thatâs seasoned with magical reality. Composer Jon Deak has adapted Charles Dickensâ timeless tale into a contemporary opera that melts the heart, but doesnât avoid the darkness in Scrooge thatâs still resonant with the material concerns of our time. Using neither period costumes, nor set pieces to reconstruct old England, the film invites you to experience A Christmas Carol with the imaginative possibilities of a radio play. And then, to meet those visions in your head, filmmaker H. Paul Moonâs floating camera intimately captures musicians performing the score as characters themselves, in this ageless haunted redemption story about âus, every one.â
