Brüder, lasst uns lustig sein
Austria 2006, 1 min
"Brothers, let us be merry, bravely defy your troubles" is from the slave’s song in Mozart’s Zaide. It accompanies two dimly lit men indulging in a purposeless pleasure: They masturbate as if someone had ordered them to get in the mood and enjoy themselves. In the consummation of lust the film anticipates the hangover which turns Nietzsche’s claim that "all joy wants eternity" into an eternally unfulfilled utopia. Not even Mozart can do anything about that.
