2004 film depiction and Andrew Lloyd Webbers 1986 musical. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from Septemto January 8, 1910. I can safely say that this film has converted me. The Phantom of the Opera (in French, Le Fantôme de lOpéra) is a French novel by Gaston Leroux. As I said above Stage to Screen comparisons do feel somewhat inappropriate with this film, but I was never that fussed about Phantom before or after seeing it on Broadway. All in all, this film really took me by surprise. The Soundtrack has been given a spring clean and it really benefits from it, removing some of the synthesized feel of the original and giving it much more of an orchestral grandeur.

However, Joel Schumacher was very set on casting Emmy Rossum in the role. The lip sync hing is often poor, especially in 'Think of Me' which is disappointing, especially in the knowledge that all but Minnie Driver recorded their own singing parts anyway. The most prominent of which were Keira Knightley and Anne Hathaway. My only niggles are technicalities, the Phantom wears a mask which only goes just above his eyebrows in the Ball scene (and shows no deformation) and yet when the normal white mask is removed later the entire left side of his face is deformed. I'm sure a lot of this is down to Joel Schumacher who successfully steers the film away from just putting the stage show on to film, but has actually created something powerful in its own right, so I believe comparisons of the stage show to film are unreasonable. I think some other comments here are harsh, especially towards the performance of Emmy Rossum, who I thought made the film.
