Synopsis
Music Box (1989) is a courtroom drama you can watch online on iFILM. Costa-Gavras directed; Jessica Lange plays Ann Talbot, a sharp Chicago defense attorney.
Ann's father, Michael Laszlo (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a Hungarian-born immigrant, is about to lose his U.S. citizenship. The charge: atrocities committed during World War II. Ann takes the case. She has no doubt he is innocent. The trial proceeds methodically — witnesses, documents, photographs — and with each session, something she cannot name begins to shift. Lukas Haas and Michael Rooker co-star. The film is built like its title: a beautiful box that opens to reveal something you didn't expect to find.
Costa-Gavras is the director of Z and Missing — films where history ambushes private life. Music Box is that same instinct working on the smallest possible scale. It came away from the Berlin Film Festival with the Golden Bear. Stream Music Box (1989) online on iFILM.
