Rigoletto (1982) is a cinematic adaptation of Giuseppe Verdi's renowned opera, which follows the tale of Rigoletto, a court jester in the service of the Duke of Mantua. Despite his physical deformities, Rigoletto excels in his role, entertaining the Duke by mocking the courtiers. However, his sharp wit does not endear him to the nobles, who secretly despise him. The Duke, a notorious womanizer, becomes infatuated with a young woman he sees weekly at church, unaware that she is Rigoletto's daughter, Gilda. Gilda, too, has fallen for the Duke, setting the stage for a tragic love story. The plot thickens when Count Monterone, enraged by the Duke's seduction of his daughter, curses both the Duke and Rigoletto. As the story unfolds, the courtiers uncover Rigoletto's secret life with Gilda, leading to a series of dramatic events that culminate in a heart-wrenching climax.
