Plot
Is this a film about Scrooge About a composers life An opera within an opera The Passion of Scrooge blurs these lines between performance documentary and fiction into a cinematic concert experience thats seasoned with magical reality Composer Jon Deak has adapted Charles Dickens timeless tale into a contemporary opera that melts the heart but doesnt avoid the darkness in Scrooge thats still resonant with the material concerns of our time Using neither period costumes nor set pieces to reconstruct old England the film invites you to experience A Christmas Carol with the imaginative possibilities of a radio play And then to meet those visions in your head filmmaker H Paul Moons floating camera intimately captures musicians performing the score as characters themselves in this ageless haunted redemption story about us every one
