Could you say a bit about what you take that form and feel to be? Give examples of works that are 'operatic' without being opera?
In narrative cinema, a lot of Coppola's films are operatic -- not just Godfather, but the failed One From the Heart, Rumble Fish, Dracula... He came from a family of opera conductors.
Going to experimental films pushes the trope further out. Flaming Creatures, The End and Blonde Cobra might fit. Or not. Depending on how you take the concept....
