"There is no other film quite like The Flying Dutchman<\/i> (Der Fliegende Holl\u00e4nder<\/i>). Part opera, part experimental sound collage, and part avant-garde cinema, it is a surrealistic take on Wagner\u2019s opera that pushed the boundaries of filmmaking at the time." Eastgermancinema<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This unique East German opera production tells the well-known story of Wagner\u2019s Dutchman who is condemned to sail across the world until his soul is released through the genuine love of a woman. Joachim Herz found a way to truly translate the opera into film by using extraordinary cinematographic techniques. A fascinating avant-garde film that refers to the expressionistic style of F.W Murnau.<\/p>\n

\n
"Joachim Herz\u2019s film of The Flying Dutchman<\/i> (1964), a nearly full-length production of the opera, was the first of any of Wagner\u2019s operas to be filmed." Barbican<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
