Forever
In Paris, France, the world-renowned cemetery Pere-Lachaise, is the burial
site for many world-famous people in the world of culture, writers,
composers, performers, painters and other artists, from different historical
periods.
If one visits this cemetery, the guest can find the graves of such people as
Frederic Chopin, Marcel Proust, Guillaume Apollinaire, Modigliani, Oscar
Wilde, Jean-Auguste Ingres, Maria Callas, Georges Melies, Jim Morrison, Yves
Montand and Simone Signoret, to name a few. Forever is a documentary by Heddy
Honigmann that introduces us to the people who come for many reasons to this
beautiful setting. Some arrive to pay tribute to someone they admired; some
come to bring flowers or leave personal messages on the graves while others
may be relatives who come to seek solace and tend to the upkeep of the site.
Many people find the serene and calming surroundings a place of refuge to
relax, and perhaps, to be inspired. Some of the interesting people in the
film relate their reasons for visiting certain grave sites, all the while
presenting some of the music and artistry of the celebrities to whom they are
paying tribute.
