The last of the great biographical movies directed by Bruno Monsaingeon, this exemplary documentary—“the most inspiring music film I ever saw,” wrote the Independent—uses archival footage and interviews to explore the truth about a mysterious character: Sviatoslav Richter, the Soviet artist who was widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.

There is no late seating.

This performance is approximately two hours and 40 minutes long, with no intermission.

Presented in association with the Film Society of Lincoln Center and Classifilms.
