In Search Of Mozart
The most comprehensive and illuminating film about Mozart that you are likely to see... A remarkable achievement... Strikingly original... The result is gloriously entertaining as well as revelatory. One reason for that is Grabsky's camerawork. I know far too little about cinematic techniques to explain how he does it - but somehow, by focusing so closely on face and fingers, he manages to convey the intensity of the musical experience more grippingly than anything I have seen on film or television... --The TimesIn Search of Mozart is a model of its kind. The footage of Mozart's haunts are contemporary, fleshed out with people and images of today, which gives the portrait immediacy and relevance. Grabsky's documentary is fresh, direct and communicative, bringing Mozart vividly alive, even those who think they already know everything about him. --The IndependentNo more important, or beautifully filmed documentary about Mozart's life and music has emerged than Phil Grabsky's 'In Search of Mozart' ... What emerges is a far more accurate, complete and endearingly human portrait of Mozart than any documentary has ever painted. If all you know of him are the glossy lies disseminated by Amadeus, don't miss In Search of Mozart. It's a must see for tyros and cognoscenti alike... --Chicago Tribune
