I saw a film version of Shoenberg's opera "Moses and Aaron" last night.
The story is really stupid, Moses and the Jews and all that crap,
but the music is amazing. Has anyone else seen this flick? It was
made in 1975, in German, with English subtitles.

My opinion is that the story is OK, but the staging and acting were unbelievably ridiculous. Example - in one scene, people are supposed to be going crazy with drink, or something, and fall off a cliff in their drunkenness. The actions of the "actors" make it clear they only jumped down about three feet. And you see these people later on in the film, too. A little early for any Resurrections, I think. The music *is* pretty amazing. I've never really gotten into it, but may someday. More power to you. Jeff Winslow

I resent the implication of your posting! If you wish to criticize the film, choose your language so as not to debase the origin of the story. .....and, to the rest of you netters, please pardon the flame. -- David I.
