This short documentary begins to explore the impact of Leon Fleischer's loss of use of his hand, seemingly the critical aspect of Mr. Fleischer's meaning as an artist and perhaps as a person given the strong push of his family towards success as a pianist. What seemed the end for this artist, we learn, becomes the beginning of deep personal growth and development for Mr. Fleischer as an artist and as a person.
The interviews are shown with directness and never pity. By the movie's end I felt I knew Mr. Fleischer and wanted to know more about others in his life and how these events affected them. I hope this movie gets made into a full length film down the road.
I loved the music and the shots of Mr. Fleischer playing. As a non musician I also enjoyed hearing him discuss how to effectively teach music.
