The Film "Kinshasa Symphony" shows how people living in one of the most chaotic cities in the world have managed to forge one of the most complex systems of human cooperation ever invented: a symphony orchestra. It is a film about the Congo, about the people of Kinshasa and about music. Written by Anonymous
What a phenomenal documentary! It interweaves the personal lives of the people in the orchestra in this city in the Congo with their rehearsing to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony. You learn about the people, the problems the country has been having, interspersed with their total dedication to playing great classical music. The editing is just fantastic.The conductor is such a dignified man, great presence. I really liked that the footage of the actual performance shows only a little of Beethoven, but then surprises us with a nice excerpt of another piece, which they also play very well. Helped me my French too.
