DESCRIPTION
In 1986, the director and producer Don Boyd approached ten of the world’s greatest directors and invited them to make a short film set to an operatic aria of their choice. Together, their contributions formed the movie Aria. Here, the acclaimed British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg, director of Don't Look Now and The Man Who Fell to Earth, offers his own interpretation of Giuseppe Verdi's 'Un Ballo In Maschera'. Roeg's film is a fictionalised account of the attempted assassination of King Zog of Albania in 1931.
