Aria
Ten great directors. One unforgettable film. The most sensual experience you'll ever have in a movie theater.

Produced by Lightyear Entertainment, Virgin Vision
A visually audacious anthology film where ten auteur directors interpret operatic arias through surreal, often darkly sensual vignettes that prioritize artistic experimentation over narrative coherence.
Ten short pieces directed by ten different directors, including Ken Russell, Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Altman, Bruce Beresford, and Nicolas Roeg. Each short uses an aria as soundtrack/sound, and is an interpretation of the particular aria.
