Beautifully and matter-of-factly presents/performs Bach's life and work(s) without falling into any Christian, Romantic, or just plain bourgeois mystifying/fetishizing ideological traps.

I liked the music. I haven't totally made my mind up about the rest. The director, like so many 20th century artists, substitutes philosophy for a compelling product. There is no technique, no talent behind the camera, only a theory and a style. Bach's music has all of the above except for a theory. Perhaps there is an irony to work out in this, perhaps even an intentional one, but who has the time?

In trying to learn about great artists of the past, the one thing we should be concentrating on is whatever creative projects survive to the present day, and worry less about what made them great. Along these same lines, this film takes a modestly revolutionary step by putting the truly wonderful music of Johann Sebastian Bach(Gustav Leonhardt) front of center, as explained in the making-of documentary. Framing the sublime sounds is the life of the composer as narrated by Anna Magdalena(Christiane Lang), Johann's second wife, filling in the gaps of their personal struggles and his career, with minimal extrapolation. One particular episode stands out with Johann's tutorial explaining not only a particular musical instrumment but also the sounds of the era.

A consummate example of cinematic austerity in deference to musical transcendence.

The Straubs' methods ultimately attest to their demand of viewer participation in their search for new forms of expression.
