U-CARMEN is a feature film based on Georges Bizet's 19th-century opera that was filmed on location in a modern South African township setting. The energy, compassion, and heat of township life in all its elements create a constantly visually interesting and dynamic background for the unfolding of the story, which owes part of its huge popularity to the thrilling combination of a violent gangster tale with a passionate, almost supernatural love story. As it unfolds, it explores issues of fame and wealth, the position of a strong and independently minded woman in a very masculine society and, perhaps most importantly, the incomprehensible attraction between abuser and victim. Bizet's opera, based on Prosper Merimée's novel, premiered in Paris on March 3, 1875. Set in a poor area of Seville, the story of the magnetic woman who seduces, loves, and ultimately destroys her lover and herself, is well known. Girl (Carmen) seduces boy (Don José), boy becomes completely obsessed, girl leaves boy for another (the Matador), boy in a jealous rage kills her. Carmen's mother-obsessed soldier lover who is displaced by the glamorous matador is one of the greatest tragic figures in all of musical theater. But the story is her story. Why does she push her soldier into violence? Why doesn't she escape at the last moment? What drives her to destruction? Although these fascinating aspects of human relationships are explored in a penetrating and at times uncomfortable way, this is no intellectual journey but a bawdy, passionate, and vibrant tale with enormous warmth and heat, and some of the greatest tunes ever written. The fantastic vitality and huge skill of the performers from Dimpho Di Kopane make an impact beyond that achieved by any filmed opera to date. The soundtrack, recorded by Dimpho Di Kopane with Imbumba, a young South African orchestra, combines Bizet's score with traditional South African music, which creates a powerful musical experience.
卡門的重新解讀，放置在黑人群體中重建將這個原本關於愛情與慾望的故事平添更多的種族意義，某種程度上說是對原來文本與價值觀構建的破壞，當然在以突出多元的柏林電影節上反而成為優勢，也成就了21世紀以來似乎最名不副實的金熊。

3.5，手法不错，头三分钟高速剪辑很喜欢。
这片子不就把卡门歌剧配个南非贫民窟画面就完事了吗? 怎么拿金熊的?! 一看当届评委会主席是Roland Emmerich, 看来又是一个商业片导演为了体现自己有颗文艺的心无脑嘉奖社会底层电影, 也不看看质量. 当年任何其他拿奖的片子都完爆这片吧.
平铺直叙着《卡门》的故事，因背景在贫民窟环境破旧简陋，演员也不符一般审美表演也不如其歌声打动人。完全没想到除却舞台剧夸张表演、故事复制到现代南非的这门一部影片能夺得第55届金熊奖。
影片给了歌舞这样优雅有力的表现形式另一番滋味，黑人贫民窟环境下，警察与争取地位的妇女，以及混混发生的关系，里边涉及了爱情，却稍纵即逝，他们互相唱和，表达各自心事，终因言行不和，男性的掌控面显露，应了先知的警示。
欣赏无能，而且略搞笑
为什么得金熊为什么得金熊，黑人搬演的歌剧《卡门》，几乎没有地域特色……
黑卡门 两百斤
补

我困惑……
少年，如果你因肥胖受到嘲笑，请不要苦恼，去当歌剧演员吧，你会成为明星！
看过留脚印
可以跟《一个人和他的猪》相媲美...
