For Ever Mozart, which stars stars Madeleine Assas, Bérangère Allaux, Ghalya Lacroix (most recently the editor of Cannes 2013 winner

With
For Ever Mozart, Godard shifted to a narrative grounded in a distressing reality of the day: the Bosnian War. This densely packed rumination on the need to create order and beauty in a world ruled by chaos is divided into several distinct but related stories, chiefly the attempts by an idealistic French acting troupe to stage a play in war-torn Sarajevo. Along their journey, they are captured and held in a POW camp. Amid the gunfire of war, an elderly director struggles to complete his film.
The Blu-ray edition of
For Ever Mozart features a digitally remastered 1080p video presentation, a French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track with English subtitles, and the following extras:
- Audio Commentary by Critic and TIFF Cinematheque Senior Programmer James Quandt
