Om arrangementet
"A gripping documentary that plays like a nail-biting sports thriller." – Sundance Film Festival Reviews During the preliminary round, there are 160 of them. At last, only 12 lucky ones make it to the final. These are the contestants in the legendary International Chopin Piano Competition, held every five years in Warsaw, Poland. Pianoforte follows an eclectic group of young musicians from around the world who have prepared since they were children for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Offering a rare behind-the-scenes look backstage of the competition, the filmmaker captures the intense pressure these musicians face in an experience that combines tears of exhaustion and despair with the ecstatic joy of playing. Selected for the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, Pianoforte is both a testament to the power of music and an intimate coming-of-age portrait of young pianists navigating the rigors of competition. "Piątek captures the grueling reality of elite musical competition, offering a deeply intimate and humanizing look at these young prodigies." – Variety Poland, 2023 | 91 min.
