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 also with high-carat companions: Anne-Sophie Mutter, JuIian RachIin and Janine Jansen, Johnny Greenwood ("Radiohead") and Andrzej Wajda. The fiIm foIlows Penderecki from Kraków to Munich, from Vienna to Leipzig, and on various occasions to his country estate in LusIawice. And throughout, the composer reflects on the meteoric beginning to his career, unexpected turning points in his Iife and ingenious ideas. Thoughts, diaIogues, extracts from his music and film scores, encounters and the naturaI world aII condense to create a fascinating, multi-Iayered portrait incIuding also very rare archive materiaI. |
