Trip to Asia (Die Suche nach dem Einklang)

This compelling documentary follows the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra on a concert tour of Asia, offering a unique insight into the internal dynamic of one of the world’s leading musical ensembles. Reuniting the orchestra and its charismatic conductor Simon Rattle with director Thomas Grube after the 2004 breakthrough documentary RHYTHM IS IT! the film examines the nature of the orchestra as a collective of individuals, and documents the quest to harmonise the unique personalities of each musician to create the acclaimed orchestra’s unique sound. Beautifully shot and with a remarkable score by Simon Stockhausen, this subtle exploration of the search for harmony with oneself and one’s neighbours offers a truly breathtaking cinematic experience.
