Title: A Survivor Of Warsaw
Post by: György Dudas on March 07, 2012, 11:28:20 PM
I never was used to the work of Arnold Schönberg. I liked Pierot Lunaire in a movie version, supported by images and actors. There was a short film by Greenaway, where the music was cut to the images, so the music could be understood structurally, or at least I had the impression that I understood it, and the music grew on me. By accident I stumbled upon a few videos or lectures by Greenaway at the European Graduate School.

here is a short film about the music piece by Schönberg, named the same: A Survivor Of Warsaw. I want to share it here.
It is (I think) an interesting work of cinema. Actually it was some kind of live performance on multiple screens, and the video is just a recording. The music gives a strong impression. I think I will listen to more Schönberg in the future.

check it out here, ca. 10 minutes.

sorry, but it is also very nasty and horrible.
