MOZARTBALLS is a light-hearted tribute to Mozart and explores what he symbolizes in our age. The film features curious characters that embody the spirit of Mozart - from a retired Swiss school teacher obsessed by all things Mozart, to an ex-pop musician in Oklahoma who believes that her body is actually inhabited by Mozart's spirit; from a computer genius in California whose software has created a new Mozart cello concerto, to an Austrian astronaut who carried a score of "The Magic Flute" and delicious chocolate 'Mozartkugeln' into space. These are the individuals who inhabit MOZARTBALLS and through their strange and, at times, very moving stories, the viewer will be exposed to the liveliness, the magic and the obsession that Moart has become to so many music fans today. For them, Mozart defines the very essence of beauty in music, but he has become something more than that. Mozart is an icon, and for many he is still very much alive!

| User ReviewEthan WA wonderfully moving and insightful film on how Mozart has uniquely impacted the lives of some equally unique and extraodinary people. One can't help but feel compelled to empathize with and unravel the deeper stories and passions of each subject. In my opinion, the special features on the DVD should have been part of the main feature. I'm glad they were included at the very least! The only downsides are the garish cover design and that we did not get to explore each person a little further, but then a good story always leaves you wanting an encore. Overall I believe that, given the singularity of each person and the passion with which they are influenced by or pursue their particular interest in Mozart, he would be very proud of this production. |
| User ReviewDebra MBright, intelligent and poignant. If you are a Mozart fan or not, this film will move and inspire you. Steph Waller has charisma and charm which oozes from the screen. |
| User ReviewFrank Zin an odd way, the documentary shows us that Mozart's spirit is still very much alive. the odd is in fact people's "love" for him and his music. fans might be an understatement for the people shown in the film. from mozartkugel to mozart-like music regenerated by "experiments in musical intelligence" and from a woman who thinks she is mozart reincarnation to a depression patient who claims that talking to mozart helped him... at times, it's a little too much to take in at once; yet, it's interesting to see the love for mozart in a rather extreme form and how they found their own meanings of life through "mozart". |
| User ReviewPrivate Ufive stars just for the title of the film. |
| User ReviewBill TThis was a bit of a wild film about people who are OBSESSED with Mozart. I mean, sure, teens can be obsessed with the acts of the day (that would be, right now, Panic! At the Disco), so why NOT there be people obsessed with a long dead composer? The director REALLY chose some live ones here. A couple of them, like the astronaut guy and the Mozartball chocolate factory were okay, but the composer guy, who creates a 'new' Mozart symphony, and that woman in Oklahoma who thinks she's reincarnated as Mozart has also apparently found Mozart's girlfriend reincarnated! Then they go to Vienna and start WEEPING about you know, where they met, where Mozart died, etc. It's all quite quite silly, and was a fun omnibus of silliness. |
