Who Wants to Be a Mozart?

2006, Mozart year. The Mozart trademark is now worth no less than 5 billion Euro, not to mention the music, which is so worth listening to. We at MTV (Mozart TV) decided to be part of this celebration. So we created a quiz in a true "WWBM " style and entitled it "Who Wants to be a Mozart". The host of the programme is Mr Antonio Salieri, who is the master of ceremonies to ten competitors: Lizst, Rossini, Beethoven, Tschaikovsky, Bach, Schubert, Mussorgsky, Falco and Mozart himself, who wishes to gain one million Euro like the rest of the competitors and claim back at least a tiny slice of the cake, which countless others have earned by exploiting his name and music.

Directed by Samo Milavec, Who Wants to Be a Mozart? leans on a strong ensemble — Jure Ivanušič, Alojz Svete, Katarina Čas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2006.
