\u201cArvopaert? Was ist das?\u201d<\/p>\n
A West Berliner caught in the street poll of a P\u00e4rt documentarian hits the nerve of this portrait on a Estonia’s future national composer.<\/p>\n
Director Dorian Supin<\/strong> captures a unique phase in the life of Arvo P\u00e4rt<\/strong> in his debut documentary on the artist. Just a few years earlier, the future national icon and his family had been exiled from Soviet Estonia due to the deeply religious nature of his music. Viewers are treated to amusing fragments of the composer\u2019s daily life: a burned family lunch, an orchestra rehearsal strained by the language barrier, and playful exploration of an ’80s Yamaha sound palette.<\/p>\n In contrast to urban work life, the serene material from the composer\u2019s retreat to a North Karelian monastery forms a counterpoint. Time seems to stand still on the mirror-like surface of the lake and among the reeds tickling Supin\u2019s camera. The soul of the documentary lies in P\u00e4rt\u2019s musings on life, music, and religion. Beauty, devotion, and serenity touch in a way that transcends the boundaries of faith, and P\u00e4rt\u2019s peculiar, mystical worldview invites the viewer to open their ears to the wonder of existence.<\/p>\n Saarlotta Halme<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":416,"template":"","class_list":["post-919","movies","type-movies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docpoint.ee\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/movies\/919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docpoint.ee\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/movies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docpoint.ee\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/movies"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docpoint.ee\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docpoint.ee\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
