Cosi
When chasing your dreams... it helps to be a little crazy!
Directed by Mark Joffe
Produced by Australian Film Finance Corporation, Meridian Films
A warm, playful dark comedy about a theater director and mentally ill patients who find unexpected dignity and connection through staging an opera together.
Lewis, a young amateur theater director, is offered a job with a governmental program for the rehabilitation of mentally ill patients in a Sydney institution. His project is overrun by one of the patients, who wants to stage the opera Cosi Fan Tutte by Mozart, despite the fact that none of the patients can sing or speak Italian. A comedy of errors ensues, but one which unifies the patients and their director in unexpected ways.
