What Moses and Aaron Is About

The film is a production that films an opera as it stands. The brothers Moses and Aaron argue over what God’s true message is and what it asks of people; Moses wants to carry the word exactly as it is, while Aaron is for turning it into a form the people can grasp. That split drives their followers into chaos. It was shot almost entirely inside a Roman amphitheatre, and that space determines the place of every line, every gesture and every change of camera. The camera leaves the performers in long, unbroken takes and never cuts across the music. The account offers the viewer no ease; it has to be listened to and waited out. The hundred and seven minute film by Daniele Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub was completed in 1975.
