WOLFGANG

Directed by Filmsaaz

With Ghazal Shojaei, Kathrin Schweizer, Saeed Mirzaei Fard and Anthony Abtin Sepahvarfar

In 1778, a young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was in exile in Paris: reeling from his mother’s death, he spent his days writing scatalogical music and drowning in libertine excess. In this genre-defying ‘audiovisual opera’, Mozart’s life becomes a portal into that of Wolfgang, an Iranian artist navigating similar extremes as he too is exiled in Paris: the city where everyone says his dreams will come true, and praises him for escaping the censorship of his homeland.
