The Tales of Hoffmann
Description
The film tells three romantic love stories of Hoffmann with three of his woman in the past, Olympia, Giulietta, and Antonia. Although Hoffmann gradually lost each of the woman, however, he gained poetic inspiration as a result, allowing him to transform painful experiences into art.
