For Ever Mozart December 17, 2004

A group of young performers from Switzerland, setting out for Sarajevo to mount a work by the French romantic playwright Alfred de Musset, are savagely ambushed. Meanwhile, a motion picture director is having serious problems preparing his epic film on the war. Another of Godard's densely layered essays, For Ever Mozart may also be, according to critic Amy Taubin, "Godard's most profound film on warfare...proceeding perhaps from the homily that on the battlefield, the explosion you hear is never the one that kills you....and confronting the failure of art to change the course of history" (1997, 85 minutes).
