About This Movie
The Mikado (2019) is an interesting revival by ENO that infuses Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operetta with a unique 1930s grand hotel vibe. The humor feels quite Marx Brothers-esque, which gives it a cheeky and irreverent tone, making it fun without being too serious. The dance numbers are reminiscent of Busby Berkeley's elaborate style, adding a layer of visual flair that complements the quirky comedy. The pacing feels lively throughout, keeping the energy up, and the performances carry a certain charm, although not every interpretation lands perfectly. What stands out is how it balances classic operatic elements with a fresh, comedic twist, which might not appeal to purists but offers a refreshing take on a well-trodden narrative.
