From the team behind the worldwide success The Beatles: Eight Days a Week comes director Ron Howard's documentary celebrating the life of the beloved opera star Luciano Pavarotti, who sold over 100 million records in his lifetime. The 1990 World Cup in Italy was the moment opera left the elite and hit the masses. Opera star Pavarotti joined fellow tenors Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras onstage in Rome watched by 1.4 billion worldwide. Their powerful rendition of 'Nessun Dorma' lives on as one of the most popular and famous pieces of music the world has ever heard, and Pavarotti realised his long held dream of bringing opera into the mainstream. Ron Howard takes an intimate approach in telling Pavarotti’s story, going beyond the iconic public figure to reveal the man himself. (Universal Pictures UK)

From the skilled craftsman Ron Howard, a well crafted documentary about opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. The result is basically what can be expected. Myself, I wouldn’t put it on, or go to the cinema for it, but in the festival – well. #KVIFF2019

The reverent obituary of a walking Italian national stereotype that suffers from a complete lack of dramatic arc and the director's attempt to make a super-thriller out of every little hiccup that just goes with life (illness, divorce, etc). Plus, the presence of the all-important number-two Bono means that no work can ever climb above average, so I'm just giving my high C's in the alphabetical rating.
