Jon Deak's The Passion of Scrooge - an opera film by H. Paul Moon

Myron Silberstein, Fanfare Magazine

“Jon Deak is listed both as ‘Himself’ and as ‘Composer’ in the closing credits to this film. This points to the film’s greatest strength: It is more than a filmed performance of Deak’s opera. Rather, H. Paul Moon frames the performance within a meditation on the nature of composition and on the identification of creator and creation. There are some lovely thoughts in this filmic frame. I am particularly touched by the idea that the performer transfers the composer’s emotional burdens to himself by performing the composer’s work.”
