On exhibit is Stockholm Syndrome, in which a singer, like Patty Hearst in her own 1974 kidnap, identifies with a group of South American rebels holding her and a band of wealthy people hostage.  By the same token, the rebels identify so much with the multi-millionaires they are holding captive, that they are risk becoming seduced by the bourgeoisie, i.e. taking a new interest in the culture and materialism of the middle and upper classes.<\/p>\n<p>The rebels, led by Comandante Benjamin (Tenoch Huerta) demand the release of all political prisoners and, in that regard, wind up holding the party-goers, dressed in formal attire for a party, for a month.  Meanwhile, Messner (Sebastian Koch), a Swiss citizen working with the Red Cross, serves as negotiator, zipping back and forth from the elegant home of the vice president Ruben Ochoa.  Here is a sample of the goofiness: Katsumi Hosokawa (Ken Watanabe) is in the South American country to negotiate a deal to put up some buildings, accompanied by his translator, Gen (Ryo Kase).  In the course of the month as rebels and millionaires share a common humanity, Gen falls in love with a female rebel while teaching her to read both Spanish and English.  They get it on.  For her part Roxanne Coss, twice divorced and admittedly lonely despite her vast audience of opera buffs, digs Katsumi. They get it on.  The entire contingent of green-uniformed Fidelista-type Marxists play soccer with the folks whom they have threated to kill.  I think the invited party guests, including French Ambassador Simon Thibault (Christopher Lambert), let the other guys win.  Simon plays a mean piano to accompany Roxanne, and Roxanne teaches one of the rebels how to sing opera.  <\/p>\n<p>If you look up Ann Patchett\u2019s novel on Amazon, you read critics\u2019 comments about Bel Canto such as this one by Lloyd Moss of WQXR, \u201c\u2026should be on the list of every literate music lover. The story is riveting, the participants breathe and feel and are alive, and throughout this elegantly-told novel, music pours forth so splendidly that the reader hears it and is overwhelmed by its beauty.\u201d  You\u2019ve got to wonder just how much of the best-seller comes across in the movie.  The book does not appear to be at all (pardon the iteration) goofy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>102 minutes.  \u00a9 2018 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 C+<br
