Music
(Angela Schanalec, 2023, 108 min, Germany/France/Greece/Serbia, in Greek with English subtitles, DCP)
A quietly colossal achievement from one of contemporary cinema's preeminent image makers. On a stormy night in the mountains of Greece, a pair of wayward young people abandon their newborn child. Taken in by a family of farmers, Ion grows up without knowing his father or mother. Years later, after a tragic accident, he is sent to prison, where he meets Iro. The two form a connection, expressed through music, that will, by turns, haunt them and uphold them the rest of their days. Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, Angela Schanelec's latest is as terrifying as myth and as gentle as a folk song.
"An immaculate work of cinema...exquisitely shot and unimpeachably assembled.”
- Nicolas Rapold, ArtForum
"An otherworldly revelation." -Leonardo Goi, The Film Stage
"Without a doubt an encounter with cinema’s great capacity for approaching the unknown." -Daniel Kasman, MUBI Notebook
