本片根据歌剧“霍夫曼的故事”改编而来，然而它并不只是舞台上的表演，它戏剧化了将一位诗人的三个伟大的爱情故事。故事描述了艺术家在爱情与工作时间的斗争。最终，他虽然失去了每个他所心爱的女人，但取而代之的，他得到了作诗的灵感——把痛苦经历转化为艺术的能力。This a film version of the opera "The Tales of Hoffmann", however it is NOT just a film of a staged performance. 'Michael Powell' & Emeric Pressburger (and the rest of "The Archers") work their usual magic here. The opera dramatises the three great romances in the life of the poet-hero presented in a series of flashbacks. Hoffmann's tales depict the struggle between human love and the artist's dedication to his work. Hoffmann loses each of the women he loves but gains instead poetic inspiration -- the ability to transform painful experiences into art.
