Forever (2007) Heddy Honigmann

" Forever " is a film about the power and vitality of art, and a place where beauty survives: the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Among the most famous in the world, it is the final resting place of talented artists from all over the world. Some, like Piaf, Proust, Jim Morisson and Chopin, are still revered today. Others have fallen into oblivion, or only receive the occasional visit from a single admirer. We see the mysterious beauty of this exceptional cemetery with the eyes of the living. Many visitors come for their loved ones. Others honor their chosen artist by leaving a message or a flower on his grave. As admirers speak of the importance of art and beauty in their lives, this abode of the dead gradually reveals itself as a place of peace and inspiration for the living. Death offers little consolation, except the melancholy charm of a mossy grave, the beauty of a music, a poem or a painting
