Opis

Dancing to Mozart is a satire of Hollywood values and fantasies, Latin American dictatorships, Da Vinci Code conspirators, movie violence, magical realism, televangelists, mixed wrestling, extreme cosmetic surgery, and a host of other sensational idiocies that thrive on 21st century self-delusion. This whimsical contemporary "Candide" offers a trip through the world of out-of-control egos to a nal revelation of ordinary common sense. The send-up is a mix of shrewd perception, lampoon, and wacko action that includes the Society of the Crystal Skull, the Opus Dopus, a female wrestling Amazon with one breast, an Arab who wants to recruit Islamic converts like an American billboard evangelist, two energetic lm directors with crazy ideas, a rescue from captivity through "mind-invasion" (a la Inception) and a Hindu swami who tries to set all straight with a Bhagavad burrito. And a lot more."
