What should tip off anyone who has the slightest bit of imagination about how bad this film is going to be (and it is!), is that Julianne Moore is cast as a famous opera singer. She's a fine actress in her own right, but talk about miscasting. Just imagine her trying to mouth opera...it just doesn't fit her looks or her persona, despite the glamourous clothes and jewels. The cast come from various corners of the film world (U.S., France, Japan, S. America) but it doesn't help this film whatsoever. Awkward from beginning to...the point I had to turn it off after 25 minutes. Don't recommend
