Фильм рассказывает о жизни и творчестве самого выдающегося певца-кастрата своей эпохи Карло Броски, прозванного Фаринелли (1705-1782), который благодаря своему сказочному голосу, сильной личности и необыкновенной судьбе приобрел всемирную, сохранившуюся до наших дней популярность.
Кроме таланта и неоспоримой красоты у Фаринелли были хорошие человеческие качества и настоящая терпимость. Он действительно был, как привыкли его называть его современники, "божественный Фаринелли".
QUOTE
This saga of a famous eighteenth-century castrato and his dependent brother, a minor composer, is meant to have a tawdry kick, but the story wanders into a dark corner only intermittently-mostly when it's time for sex. Farinelli has the skill to get a woman going, but he needs his brother to finish the job. There's no tension to these scenes: the women seem fine with Farinelli alone, and besides, everyone appears to enjoy the menages ? trois. The bulk of the film is really concerned with the fact that this genius has to sing his brother's crummy operas. Since the two of them dress so flamboyantly, live like aristocrats, and behave like spoiled children, it's hard to take their problems seriously. The director, Gerard Corbiau, delivers a sumptuously photographed film, and Stefano Dionisi's androgynous looks are just right for the title character, but his voice (borrowed and electronically enhanced) sounds too disembodied, and his lip-synching doesn't help. In French. -Bruce Diones
