Director Monsaingeon Bruno
Countries France
Duration 55 min
Synopsis
There are a host of excellent reasons for making a film portrait of Maurizio Pollini: the greatness of the pianist, his extraordinary rarity (he is unknown, and inaccessible and, apart from the odd concert and very rare interviews, little exists about him), his affable nature and intelligence, the rich complexity of the topics addressed, not to mention the desire he himself expressed to submit to the exercise for the very first time (probably because, now 68, he must feel that it is time to allow himself to be filmed).
