- Synopsis
- Moses und Aron is a 1973 film by the French filmmaking duo of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet based on the unfinished opera of the same title by Arnold Schoenberg. During its 1975 run at US festivals, it was also known as Aaron and Moses. It is one of three films based on Schoenberg works Straub and Huillet directed, the other two being a short film made directly before Moses und Aron, and, over two decades later, an adaptation of the one-act comic opera From Today to Tomorrow. The film retains the unfinished nature of the original opera, with the third act consisting of a single shot (with no music) as Moses delivers a monologue based on Schoenberg's notes. The film was shot on location in Italy and Egypt. It utilized the same team of cinematographers as Straub and Huillet's Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An immensely moving, even thrilling work. One of the monuments of 20th-century cinematic modernism."
-
"Exemplary cinematic artists... The stark images are as passionate and engaging, profound and beautiful as the complex music to which they insightfully respond."
