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