Die Stille vor Bach

I saw The Silence Before Bach (Die Stille vor Bach) by myself at Two Boots Pioneer Theater on the last night of its run. It's Pere Portabella's latest work and though I feel like I've been waxing hyperbolic too often of late, the movie was an amazing fusion of music and film. I would say more, but this review on Not Coming to a Theater Near You captures the spirit of the film. That set piece on the U-bahn with all those kids playing the Prelude to Cello Suite #1 was my favorite, even more than all the snippets from the Goldberg Variations.
