Twenty-first Century Revival and International Recognition
The film was revived on the English language film festival circuit from 2005. Grace Chang's performance has been particularly praised, "irresistible in her interpretation of the Carmen role"[1] and "a marvel, with a voice that’s playful and virtuosic and a personality that can be wickedly funny or heartbreaking at the flip of a switch".[2]
