A documentary about the people who visit a cemetery, and a testament to the saying, life is short, art is long. Père-Lachaise – one of the world’s most famous and beautiful cemeteries – is the final resting-place of a gifted group of artists from all eras and corners of the world. Some – such as Piaf, Proust, Jim Morrison and Chopin – are worshiped to this day. Others have fallen into oblivion, or are visited occasionally by a single admirer.

In Forever we see the mysterious, calming and consoling beauty of this unique cemetery through the eyes of people of flesh and blood. Many come for their ‘own’ beloved: husbands, wives, family and friends. Others Honor ‘their’ artist by leaving behind a personal message or a flower. While admirers share with us the importance of art and beauty in their lives, the graveyard gradually reveals itself as a source of inspiration for the living. Death offers little consolation except for the passing of time, the melancholia of a moss-covered tomb, and the beauty and power of a piece of music, a poem or a painting.

The post Heddy Honigmann – Forever (2006) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Deeply moving account of dutch war veterans from recent conflicts (the Congo, Bosnia/Herzogovina etc.) who are struggling to come to terms with their post-war lives. The crutch many of them use is music, specifically a single song, which either kept them going while they were on active duty or is a rooting experience for them as they recall the horrors of their war experiences. One well-groomed officer of a UN unit composed of Dutch enlisted men, looks at first glance to be a well-balanced listener of say, classical music, although he uses Seal’s song “Crazy” to recall how he had to stand by with his unarmed unit in former Yugoslavia as paramilitaries machine-gunned the inhabitants of a village in an adjacent building; another, a private, recalls driving his lorry through a sniper-infested route, as his song (can’t remember it now) blared into his eardrums giving him the courage to keep going. Very unobtrusive directing by dutch master Honigmann and the recollections — often tearful, as she keeps the camera on the veterans while the music plays — are as powerful and damning an anti-war indictment as you’re likely to see. -boxhopper999, IMDb
