Movie ReviewsA made for tv opera, ok - not great David Smith | Penn Valley, PA USA | 11/09/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "The production is fine, the images clear and the sets nicely done, the music clear. It is sung in Finnish with English subtitles. It tells the story, but the ratio of singing to images is off. There is very little vocal music relative to the story and this seems strange for an opera. It may be excessive sensitivity but to me the character of Mr Salomon seems stereotypically Jewish -- long nose, etc. I find that this use of a historic and unflattering sterotype bothersome."
