The return is the movement of Tao. Zhu Xiao-Mei and the Goldberg variations
Description
"The Return is the Movement of Tao" pays tribute to one of the most renowned interpreters of J.S. Bach's music: the outstanding Chinese pianist Zhu Xiao-Mei. Shot in places that are dear to her, such as Paris, Buenos Aires and the winter beauty of the Alps, Michel Mollard's documentary centers on music and its mystery, on the links between Bach and Lao-Tze and on the dialogue between the cultures, especially between the West and China. It offers profound insight into the mind of a fascinating artist, her vision of the Goldberg Variations and on what makes this great masterpiece so powerful.
