Opus

 

Comparing worshipping or to a lesser extent, being a fan of someone to being in a cult is usually fun to explore. You can expect the same commentary and bizarre acts of service in the unnerving lead up to the climax of Opus, and overall, the film has a tone we’ve seen before. However, while the conclusion may feel expected, it’s the journey, the mystery, and the music that keep you entertained.

When legendary pop star, Moretti, resurfaces after having disappeared for 30 years, he not only drops a new album but invites a select few to listen to it first. Amongst those invited is budding young journalist Ariel. Once the group arrives at the Moretti compound, they are surrounded by his cult like followers and bizarre rituals and Ariel soon started to suspect there is far more to Moretti’s plan than anticipated.
