Part poetry, part journalism, and part philosophy, Jean–Luc Godard's Notre Musique is a mediation on war as seen through the prisms of cinema, text and imagery. Largely set at a literary conference in Sarajevo, the film draws on the conflagration of the Bosnian war, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the brutal treatment of Native Americans and the Legacy of the Nazis. Structured into the kingdoms of Dante's Divine Comedy- Hell, Purgatory and Heaven – Notre Musique sees real-life literary figures (including Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish and Spanish writer Juan Goytisolo) intermingle with actors and documentary mesh with fiction. Film in French with English subtitles.
