First of all, anyone with an interest in Phantom of the Opera should run right over to
tkp's journal and read her thinky thots on Dario Argento's version. It may come as a surprise, but I really love this one. Most of what I love about it is enumerated in her list. I know a lot of POTO people avoid this film on principal ("He's not even ugly! I heard there's rat!sex!") but despite its rather appalling features there's something really interesting about it, too.
So go read. I can't believe I live with this girl. Life is amazing.
