Mozart in America
Austria 2006, 1 min, language: English
America, present-day Los Angeles. A tracking shot through the megacity, noticeable poverty, homeless people hang out on street corners and sleep in public spaces. What would today’s America have been like for Mozart? Would his genius have been able to unfold, how would he have reacted to the modern-day powers that be? In musical form, with a critical rap song? Concluded with a fart for the president to protest the failings of social policies?
