A young man experiences a series of unlikely encounters with uncanny characters in a tale of innocence unburdened by knowledge.
Abandoned at birth on a stormy night, Jon is adopted by a couple. He receives an unlikely upbringing and gets drawn into juvenile mischief. As a young adult, Jon accidentally kills a man and is incarcerated, where he finds himself in love with the female prison warden.
A loose retelling of Oedipal mishaps and misplaced desires, Music teases our senses with the timely—or untimely—rhythms of playful storytelling. German auteur Angela Schanelec returns with precision and levity, guiding us through the film’s syncopated structure that defieseasy ‘listening’. Aided by Baroque virtuosos like Bach and Monteverdi, Music soothes into its own rhythmic ellipses, offering tableaux that gesture towards an eventual quiet sublime.
