Everything appears at first as a conventional silent movie revival event. It takes a while for you to realise that what you see has not been filmed at all but has been constructed as a stage set behind the transparent cinema screen. The effect is almost unbelievable...

High comedy, gruesome reality and stark melodrama all play their part, interpreted and amplified by a real pianist whose art is also celebration and research.
