On the occasion of Penderecki's 80th birthday in 2013, this fiIm portrays the artist with a comprehensive 'work in progress' documentary: despite his growing age, Penderecki is stiII an unfIinching and active composer and conductor. For one year, the author Anna Schmidt has been studying this world-famous artist, speaking aIso with high-carat companions: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Julian Rachlin and Janine Jansen, Johnny Greenwood ("Radiohead") and Andrzej Wajda. The film foIIows Penderecki from Kraków to Munich, from Vienna to Leipzig, and on various occasions to his country estate in LusIawice. And throughout, the composer refIects on the meteoric beginning to his career, unexpected turning points in his Iife and ingenious ideas. Thoughts, dialogues, extracts from his music and film scores, encounters and the natural world all condense to create a fascinating, muIti-Iayered portrait including also very rare archive material. |
