ARVO PÄRT - AND THEN CAME THE EVENING IN THE MORNING

AND THEN CAME THE EVENING AND THE MORNING

1989, 60 min

A sensitive, humorous, and deeply personal look at the pioneer of “holy minimalism,” Arvo Pärt, this film was shot by Estonian documentarian (and Pärt’s brother-in-law) Dorian Supin. Filming while Pärt and his family were in semi-exile in West Berlin in the early 1980s, Supin was given extraordinary access to both daily life in the family home and the artist’s burgeoning public career. Pärt as an artist and person shines through here – traveling the world, peeling potatoes, navigating fame and politics, laying his head on the piano, and just playing when words fail. Supin’s film is a rare music documentary that reflects the rhythm, language, and philosophy of the artist it portrays.
