Full Description
This exciting documentary, a favorite of the 1995 SFJFF, offers a reinterpretation of Weill standards ("Mack the Knife," "Pirate Jenny, "and others) by such pop culture icons as Elvis Costello, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, The Persuasions and William S. Burroughs. With lush compositions, lighting and sets reminiscent of Brecht's theater, this innovative creation (produced by the makers of 32 FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD and THE RED VIOLIN) celebrates the thrilling artistic edge of Weill's genius.
