of Horacio Quiroga's tale of love lost, (The Death of Isolde) from his collection (1917). In Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film The Birds, a recording of Tristan is prominently displayed in the scene in which Annie (Suzanne Pleshette) resignedly reveals to Melanie (Tippi Hedren) her unrequited love for Mitch. For Camille Paglia, the visual inclusion of the LP cover, with the opera's 'theme of self-immolation through doomed love' signifies that Annie is a forlorn romantic. Lars von Trier's 2011 film Melancholia prominently features music from the prelude. The famous Liebestod is used in the soundtrack of the third episode of the first season of The Crown.
