Mstislav Rostropovitch, l’archer indomptable
Bruno Monsaingeon
Award for Best Portrait, FIFA 2018
Spotlight: Music. Tribute to Idéale Audience. Violoncellist Mstislav Rostropovich, a celebrity of the music world since the 1950s, left the USSR in 1972. An advocate of Solzhenitsyn before he would be deported for publishing The Gulag Archipelago, he established himself in Paris, and then Washington, after getting his citizenship revoked by Soviet authorities. This new film by Bruno Monsaingeon evokes this out of the ordinary journey pieced together through rare archived footage and testimonies from his family and friends.
