At the Movies with Dr. Aviel Cahn

Aviel Cahn concludes his first season as artistic director of the Deutsche Oper with Derek Jarman’s *War Requiem*—the film adaptation of the same work by Britten that is also being performed on the opera stage this season.

Synopsis:

During World War I, British soldier Owen is horrified by the atrocities surrounding him in the trenches. He combats these terrible images by clinging to his love for a field nurse. Yet at the same time, he begins to accept his fate as just another victim of the war.
