A film director’s daughter is with a French theater troupe set to travel to Sarajevo to mount a play. Along the way they are captured and held in a POW camp, with their fate being grim. The aging film director (who is Jean-Luc Godard’s surrogate, providing narration) decides to make a political film about war titled
Fatal Bolero. The film questions the place of art (and its inability to promote change) in times of war – in this case, Bosnia. His points are further punctuated in the closing of the film, when audience members of
Fatal Bolero are challenged to make a final decision. In French language with English subtitles. (2K DCP Presentation)
Richard Brody is scheduled to introduce.
