Our Music (Notre Musique) (NR)

synopsis

Part poetry, part journalism, part philosophy, 'Our Music' is a timeless meditation on war as seen through the prisms of cinema, text and image. Largely set at a literary conference in Sarajevo, the film draws on the conflagration of the Bosnian war. However, it also draws on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the brutal treatment of Native Americans and the legacy of the Nazis by following the parallel stories of two Israeli Jewish women, Judith Lerner and Olga Brodsky -- one drawn to the light and one drawn toward darkness.
