Written and directed by Philippe Picard et Jérôme Lambert
Shostakovich, a brilliant, popular, and innovative Russian composer, lived through the 20th century, leaving behind a breathtaking body of work that continues to captivate performers, composers, and music experts alike. His work bears the imprint of the Soviet totalitarian regime, with which he had to contend.
Archives, testimonies, recordings, an unpublished score, and a recent biography all come together to tell the nuanced and tragic story of an artist who was neither a traitor nor a hero, but whose music speaks of the hell in which he found himself trapped.
