The Mozart Brothers ★★★ 1986

An angst-ridden Swedish opera director decides to break all the rules while doing an innovative production of Mozart's “Don Giovanni.” At first he horrifies his conservative opera company but as his vision is gradually realized their resistance breaks down. A wonderful look at behind-the-scenes chaos and not just for opera aficionados. In Swedish with English subtitles. 111m/C VHS . SW Etienne Glaser, Philip Zanden, Henry Bronett; D: Suzanne Osten.
