My Love Charlie Parker
Mojata ljubov Charlie Parker, Macedonia, 1994, Music, Religion
Jazz music and a medieval monastery hardly seem to be made for each other, but the Skopje, Macedonia-based filmmaker Alyosha Simianovski combines them. The film follows the internal conflict of a jazz-loving, saxophone-playing priest in a Macedonian cloister. The religious orthodoxy is bound by strict rules for practising music: singing only, no instruments. Besides, jazz is not aimed at deepening the religious experience, but at more earthly matters. The priest can only solve his moral dilemma by parting with one of his two loves.
