About

A somewhat different take on Puccini's opera, this is a feature film directed by Robert Dornhelm. IMDB.

The libretto of La Bohème is by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa and is based on Henri Murger's 1851 novel, Scènes de la Vie de Bohème, a collection of short stories about young bohemians living in Paris in the 1840s. However, the book has no real plot and much of the libretto is original writing. Acts two and three are the mostly the librettists' invention, with a just few incidents occurring in Murger's book. Most of acts one and four are to be found in the book, drawing together various incidents from a number of chapters.
