Details Limited Release: May 25, 2001; Rated: R; Lengths: 99 Minutes, 102 Minutes; Genre: Drama; With: Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and John Turturro; Distributor: Universal Focus

Sally Potter's wacked historical suds opera is a showcase of future-resume embarrassments, from John Turturro flashing his guileless gawk-smile as a very, very famous Italian opera singer to Cate Blanchett, as a Moscow gold digger, preening like Mata Hari played by Gwen Stefani impersonating Veronica Lake. Christina Ricci, with her disaffected stare of ''Whatever!'' blankness, looks like she'd rather be playing videogames.
