The Silence Before Bach
Beautiful and slightly wacky in places, Portabella's latest feature film is a celebration and examination of Bach's music and its place in the world today. The video is a playful, impressionistic sequence of variants on the premise that Johann Sebastian altered the way the world heard due to his amazing ear for harmony, and it does it by blending historical reconstruction with very loosely linked 'dramatic' scenes and documentary sequences.
