Description de l'objet

Repentance, atonement of sins, mercy and absolution are the topics that are again in the focus of attention of Russian film director Pavel Lungin. His film The Conductor, which will be shown at cinemas from the 29th of March, has premiered in Moscow. Film critics call his new film a parable, a musical drama and even an audio-visual symphony.

A famous conductor and his orchestra are going to Jerusalem on tour. The musicians are taking the oratorio St. Matthew Passion to the Holy Land. Amazing things happen to them while they are on tour. Thus, the main character, the conductor, who in the past rejected his painter son because he believes the son does not live a pious life, discovers that his son has committed suicide. This death and especially his son's suicide note reading 'I love you, Dad' overturns the maestro's soul. Tears run from this unbending man's eyes while he stands in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
