This is a documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Heddy Honigmann about the power and vitality of art and about a place where love and death go hand-in-hand and beauty lives on: the Pere-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Pere-Lachaise is one of the world's most famous and beautiful cemeteries and is the final resting place for a group of artists, including Maria Callas, Proust, Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Ingres, Modigliani, Simone Signoret, Jim Morrison and many more, whose graves, admirers and art are the subject of this film. In "Forever" we see the mysterious, calming and consoling beauty of this unique cemetery through the eyes of its visitors. Through them, the graveyard gradually reveals itself not only as a resting place for the dead, but also as a source of peace and inspiration for the living. This film was named by Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com as one of the best independent movies of 2007. In French with English subtitles.
