ABOUT THE STORY

Based on Ann Patchett’s best-selling novel, BEL CANTO is a dramatic love story that follows a famous soprano (Julianne Moore) who travels to South America to give a private concert at a party for a wealthy Japanese industrialist (Ken Watanabe). Just as the glittering gathering of diplomats and politicians convenes, the mansion is taken over by a guerrilla rebel group demanding the release of their imprisoned comrades. Threats are made, lives are lost, a tense negotiation begins, and a long standoff ensues.

While they are confined to the house, the hostages and their captors, who speak different

languages, are forced to find ways to communicate. Music, especially the beautiful arias performed by Moore’s character, sparks a shared sense of camaraderie and even love, uniting the disparate housemates as they form unexpected bonds, overcome their differences, and discover their shared humanity.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

In a mythical South American country, a place known for poverty and repression, a

famous American opera singer, a Japanese industrialist, and a group of diplomats become pawns in a politically-charged stand-off when impassioned revolutionaries raid a state-sponsored event and hold the guests hostage. BEL CANTO is a beautifully observed story about the prisoners and their captors, painting a complex, compelling, and emotionally-charged portrait of how human nature reveals itself in the course of an impossibly tense situation. The standoff challenges conventional ideas about friends and enemies, right and wrong, justice and injustice. Based on the bestselling novel by Ann Patchett, BEL CANTO stars Julianne Moore as Roxane Coss, the soprano with the voice of an angel, Ken Watanabe as Mr. Hosokawa, the businessman who is her devoted fan, Christopher Lambert as the French Ambassador, and an impressive international cast that includes Sebastian Koch, Ryo Kase, Maria Mercedes Coroy, Tenoch Huerta, Noe Hernandez and Elsa Zlyberstein . BEL CANTO was directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz, written by Weitz and Anthony Weintraub, and produced by Academy Award nominee Caroline Baron, Anthony Weintraub, Andrew Miano, Lizzie Friedman, Karen Lauder and Greg Little.

Published in 2001, BEL CANTO received instant acclaim and went on to win the

PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the Orange Prize for Fiction, and was named Amazon’s Best Book of the Year. The New York Times called it “A beguiling mix of thrills, romantic-comedy, and a novel of ideas.” The New Yorker described it as “A fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations.” And the San Francisco Chronicle said it was “blissfully romantic” and “spellcasting.”

Producer Caroline Baron read the book soon after its release, immediately recognized its

dramatic potential and optioned it in 2002. “I read the book in the fall of 2001 shortly after 9/11. At a time when the world seemed fractured and frightening, I was immediately drawn in by this story about a group of multi-national, multi-lingual characters, who ultimately recognize their shared humanity through music. I had recently founded FilmAid, an international humanitarian aid organization with a mission to use the healing power of film to relieve psychological tension in refugee camps, and the book’s themes resonated deeply with me.”

At the time, she was dating writer/producer Anthony Weintraub, and he sparked to the

novel as well, immediately seeing its cinematic potential. “Ann has an amazing ability to write dramatic, dynamic stories in beautiful settings that speak to the heart,” he says. “Many readers have commented that the book ‘leaps from the page,’ meaning it feels so real, so visual, and that’s what made it so enticing to imagine as a film. That doesn’t mean it was easy to write – in some ways it was more challenging – but it does make you feel like you are seeing the movie play out when you read the book. To me, this represents the essence of a story ripe for adaptation.”

He cites the story’s enduring themes as strong points in any medium. “To me, BEL

CANTO is about human connection, how during the gravest of circumstances we yearn for and make connections, see beyond differences and find love. Actually, what the story suggests is that

instead of turning to hatred and violence, our strongest impulse is to be civil. We gravitate towards each other, not away from each other.”

When approached by Baron and Weintraub to work on the project, director Paul Weitz,

whose credits include Grandma, Admission, About a Boy, and Mozart in the Jungle, was also struck by the book’s universality and its cinematic qualities. “The imagery in the novel is beautiful,” he observes. “It felt like there was a dash of Buñuel in it, as well as the influence of opera, which deals so directly with big, eternal questions. There is a beginning and end to the narrative, as there is in life. Most importantly, the bare bones of the story felt like a fable, which spoke to the most important things in life.”

The filmmakers made it their mission to preserve the novel’s virtues. As Weitz explains,

“A film has a very short time with which it can tell a story. I think an adaptation is a portrait of a novel – a portrait that hopefully captures something of the work’s essence.” A challenge was the fact that many of the characters do not speak the same language. The importance of communication – in the literal sense that one person cannot understand another’s words, and metaphorically, when there are differences in class, culture, education, motivation, and dreams – becomes one of BEL CANTO’S underlying themes. “One of the most salient points of the book for us was that it was about people from all over the world coming together in a very trying situation and not killing each other,” Weintraub observes. “So that representation, a sort of United Nations in the house, as it were, was not only vitally important to us, it was one of the story’s main attractions.”

Weitz concurs that he wanted to avoid the unrealistic trope of having every character

somehow speaking English. “One reason I was attracted to the project was that I wanted to make a film in multiple languages and to work with certain actors whose primary languages I didn’t speak. I felt that I lucked out in casting Maria Mercedes Coroy (Carmen), whose only previous film, Ixcanul, had been made entirely in her first language, Kaqchikel.” Ryo Kase plays the role of Gen, Hosokawa’s translator. Raised in Japan, Kase spent part of his childhood in Washington state. He studied German, French, Spanish and Russian in order to authentically portray an interpreter. In the film, Julianne Moore speaks English; Ken Wantanabe speaks Japanese; and the rebels speak Spanish and Kaqchikel. “Making this work cinematically without sacrificing believability was one of our greatest challenges,” says Weintraub. “The mechanics changed subtly over time – for example, the character Gen, the translator played by Ryo Kase, was used in creative ways. But we tried hard not to scrub anything out of the film merely for simplicity’s sake.”

At the center of BEL CANTO is the language that transcends all barriers – the universal

language of music. The film uses opera as a plot device – it is the raison d’etre for the characters assembling in the first place – and the film is operatic in its form and impassioned style of storytelling. Music brings the characters together, as they gather to hear internationally acclaimed soprano Roxane Coss perform at a state function. Music fuels the romantic liaison between Roxane and Mr. Hosokawa, the devoted fan who traveled to South America to hear her perform in person. And music eventually creates bonds among the disparate group of captors and hostages as their fates become increasingly intertwined. “Lacking language, the characters are

5

united by music,” explains Weintraub. “It is Roxane’s voice that provides a kind of ‘soft landing’ for the people to communicate and be together.”

In terms of the romance between characters who don’t speak the same language, Weitz

was reminded of his maternal grandmother, Lupita Tovar, an actress from Oaxaca Mexico, who fell in love with his grandfather, a Czech, before she spoke their eventual common language of English.

Casting a film based on a popular novel can be a difficult undertaking because readers

have expectations of how the characters should look and act. In this respect, BEL CANTO does not disappoint. The filmmakers have assembled a stellar international cast, with Academy Award winner Julianne Moore and Academy Award nominee Ken Watanabe at its center, and skilled actors such as Christopher Lambert, Sebastian Koch, Olek Krupa, Ryo Kase, Maria Mercedes Coroy, Tenoch Huerta and Elsa Zylberstein in the ensemble. “Casting was one of the most exciting and fun parts of the job, simply because there are such great actors out there,“ recalls Weintraub. “We had an embarrassment of riches, and it was a joy coming to work each day with such a diverse cast.” The international, multi-lingual cast mirrored their characters’ interactions - the actors worked closely together, translating for one another and helping each other as they adapted to a temporary life in NYC. For some, it was the first time living in the United States.

Weitz had worked with Moore on his film Being Flynn, and also with Watanabe on

Cirque du Freak, and was very enthusiastic about their participation in BEL CANTO. “The key thing for me was sending the script to Julianne Moore and having her want to make the film with me,” Weitz observes. “There is a baseline of intelligence and fearlessness to her as a person and as an actress. I knew I would be building BEL CANTO with a partner whom I admired.” Moore portrays Roxane Coss as a strong, smart, and compassionate woman who knows the power of her art. Even when she finds herself trapped in a dangerous, life-or-death situation in a foreign locale, she radiates confidence and control.

Weitz also has high praise for Watanabe. “Ken Watanabe has a lovely sense of humor

and a physical grace that I knew would benefit a character who is being held captive during most of the film.” A composed and contemplative man – a natural leader at all times – he brings serenity and ultimately, romance to the tense hostage drama.

Music plays a critical part in the film, both dramatically and thematically, so it was

extremely important to weave opera into the story in a beautiful, believable, and melodic way. Additionally, Julianne Moore had to be completely credible as a famous soprano. The incomparable Renee Fleming, arguably the most celebrated opera singer in the world, recorded the singing for the film and worked with Julianne Moore to develop her character. Fleming’s involvement with BEL CANTO began when Ann Patchett contacted her while she was researching the novel, and they became friends. Subsequently, the filmmakers met Fleming in the process of developing the film. “It was always our dream to have her involved,” says Weintraub, “but there was never a presumption that she would sing the role. Renee was always incredibly generous, and when the time came, we asked her if she would come on the project. We were overjoyed when she said “yes.”

Weitz had previous experience filming opera during production on the award-winning

series, “Mozart in the Jungle,” when he staged a recital featuring Placido Domingo on the Grand Canal in Venice. He was eager to work with Renee Fleming because he knew she would provide great insight into the character. “Renee was integral to the creation of Roxane Coss,” he explains.” “I even used something she said casually during her first recording session, which was that Dvorak’s “Rusalka” is ‘just like The Little Mermaid, but it’s opera, so everyone dies in the end.’ Renee has a lovely sense of humor, and that helped to inform the character.”

Julianne Moore was present when Fleming recorded the vocals for the film, so she was

able to study the soprano’s singing style, posture, and gestures. They conferred about how the music – particularly Tosca’s “Vissi d’Arte” – should be performed from a dramatic point of view. Moore visited the Metropolitan Opera a few times to observe rehearsals and attended a performance of “Rusalka.” She was coached by Gerald Martin Moore, a brilliant vocal coach, accompanist, and raconteur who has worked closely with Renee Fleming for many years. Her research and her understanding of the role enabled Moore to deliver an inspired portrayal of a classical singer completely at home in the modern world.

While opera is in the foreground of the film, the filmmakers had to consider what kind of

a score would best suit BEL CANTO -- whether to have one, or to punctuate the action with incidental music. “Music is the beating heart of the film,” says Weitz , “so it was always important to make sure the choices of the songs and any other musical elements made sense, both dramatically and thematically.” He was attracted to the work of Emmy-nominated composer David Majzlin, who developed a score that complemented the film beautifully and worked in concert, so to speak, with the classical music that was already a significant part of the story. Renee Fleming was effusive when describing Majzlin’s contribution, stating that his “evocative scoring lends itself perfectly to the dramatic unfolding of the film – the vocal textures are both beautiful and haunting. It’s clear that David had an artistic vision for the entire soundscape, which is rich, and infused with Latin flavor.”

BEL CANTO had an efficient shooting schedule of approximately twenty-eight days,

with locations concentrated in New York and Mexico City. “This is a ‘hostage siege’ movie, and almost all of the film takes place inside a mansion. “We embarked on a search for a house, and amazingly, we found a mansion in Yonkers that was an ideal setting for the Vice-President’s home in the story. Through the magic of cinema – and our Production Designer, Tommaso Ortino – we were able to dress the home and create the environment for the film while also remaining in New York. This matched beautifully with our exterior location in Mexico City, where we shot for about eight days.”

The Metropolitan Opera is highlighted during the film’s dramatic final scene, and in this

case, the production was fortunate to have access to “Live in HD” footage graciously provided by the Met, so the audience and interior shots could be grand and authentic.

Paul Weitz believes that the dominant theme of BEL CANTO is a search for the essence

of what makes us human. “In the beginning of the movie, the characters are adversaries, “ he

says. “But, by the end, their differences have been eroded by their shared experiences, romance, music, and a sense of mortality. They have bonded with each other. It is an operatic theme.”

And, he points out, given current events, the story is even more topical than it was when

the book first came out. “The question of whether we deal with people as fellow human beings, or as “the other,” is obviously a pressing one right now. I am happy that the movie weighs in on the side of human commonality.” Adds Weintraub, “We are so divided as a society, with less connection and more ways (such as technology) to hide. BEL CANTO celebrates our inherent need to come together. Stripped of everything, these people find ways to talk to each other, to connect, to find their common humanity. In the end, they discover that we are all the same.”

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN PERU? The book and the film were inspired by the 1996 Peruvian hostage crisis, often referred to

as the Japanese embassy hostage crisis. The crisis began in December of 1996 when members of one of the two largest rebel groups in Peru - the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (or MRTA) - raided a party being held at the residence of the Japanese ambassador to Peru, a party intended to celebrate Japanese Emperor Akihito’s birthday.

The leader of Peru at the time was Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese Peruvian known for his

anti-terrorist strongarm policies, who eventually ended up fleeing Peru over charges of corruption and human rights violations. After an initial shootout, members of the Túpac Amaru, led by former union leader Nestor Cerpa took hundreds of diplomats, government officials and business executives hostage, but they soon released the women and children and most of the foreigners.

After worldwide attention over the four-month crisis, but little movement in negotiations,

the Peruvian Armed Forces conducted an intricately planned siege, resulting in the deaths of one hostage, two commandos, and all the MRTA militants. President Fujimori initially basked in the ‘successful’ resolution, but reports later surfaced that a number of the insurgents were summarily executed after surrendering. Additional stories from released hostages generated further favorable publicity for the rebels, as many spoke positively of their treatment at the hands of the guerrillas.
