For Ever Mozart
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard
France, Switzerland, 1996, French, 84mins, DCP
Cast: Madeleine Assas, Bérangère Allaux, Ghalia Lacroix
Godard addresses the war in Sarajevo and Europe's responsibility by questioning the capacity for art to intervene. Preparing for a movie that addresses history's tragic repetitions, the aged filmmaker Vicky Vitalis accompanies his young daughter and nephew on their idealistic quest to mount a play by Alfred de Musset in war-torn Sarajevo. On their way, however, the youngsters are abandoned by Vitalis to face a tragic outcome. Guiltridden, Vitalis attempts to recreate the tragedy on film, only to be faced with its box-office failure. Meanwhile, Mozart's music lives on at a youth concert nearby.
