PUNQ

Rated 01 Jan 2017

A Third Reich cross-dressing musical! With it's quirky sense of humor, gallant dresses, wild parties, Capriccio (1938) is a underrated and such a bizarre musical that one don't even mind that most of it's dialogue is sung in German. It's rare to come across such a lively and fast paced costume creation which takes so itself so little serious. Pure unashamed orgy of ideas perfectly emphasized by the jolly operetta "He's brutally raped her!"
