For Ever Mozart
(France/Switzerland, 1996, 84 minutes)
An unemployed philosophy teacher decides to head to war-torn Sarajevo to perform a Musset play there, while her aging film director father is hired by an unscrupulous producer to direct a film called “The Fatal Bolero”. Subtitled 36 Characters in Search of a Plot, this is a provocative meditation on culture that eschews linear narrative in favor of pay-as-you-go plotting and surreal satire; despite its many thought-provoking moments, strictly for fans of the director.

With Madeleine Assas, Ghalia Lacroix, Bérangère Allaux, Vicky Messica, Frédéric Pierrot, Harry Cleven, Michel Francini, Sabine Bail, Max André, Sylvie Herbert, Cécile Reigher, Dominique Pozzetto, Valérie Delangre, Xavier Boulanger, Yasna Zivanovic, Nathalie Dorval, Daniel Krellenstein, Jean Grecault, Béatrice Avoine, Marc Faure.
