What distinguishes \u003cem\u003eGrand Opera\u003c\/em\u003e and sets it apart from Benning's earlier works is its engagement with history, both the filmmaker's personal biography and that of cinema itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eO Panama\u003c\/em\u003e (1985) is Benning's only film based on fictional material, a collage of three short stories written by Burt Barr.
