Isabelle Stever’s emotionally complex Grand Jeté, screenplay by Anna Melikova, based on the novel by Anke Stelling and starring Sarah Nevada Grether with Emil von Schönfels and Susanne Bredehöft had its World Premiere at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival. Shot by Constantin Campean and co-produced by Olga Dykhovichnaya is a film of exquisite closeups, from well-worn beige T-strap dancing shoes to hairpins taken out for a ritualistic weigh-in.

Controversial composer Alfred Schnittke was born November 24, 1934 in the Soviet Union's Volga Republic, an ethnic German enclave. In his mid-thirties he pioneered a broadly eclectic style of composing that drew on many classical styles (even sometimes quoting familiar Beethoven or Bach works, among others) as well as the occasional foray into jazz and pop. By 1972 his experimentalism had earned the disapproval of the Soviet Composers Union (the Soviets also weren't enamored of his occasional expressions of religion, for that matter), but a number of esteemed musicians who had left Russia to live in the West supported his work and brought him an international reputation. His work was basically pessimistic in outlook, but its emotional impact, and the accessibility of some of the styles he drew on, nonetheless seduced many listeners.
The contradictions in Schnittke's style are laid out in his liner notes to the Bis recording of his Symphony No.

When even the Germans say the people of Hamburg are cold and distant, you have to pay attention. Last night at the Teatro del Fenice was the Venice debut of choreographer John Neumeier's Tod in Venedig, a ballet performed by the Hamburg Ballett, based, they dared to say, on Thomas Mann's classic novel. I have been happily up to my eyeballs in Thomas Mann's bone-searing work of art, where an aging writer (I try not to identify) goes to this fabled city, and falls in love with a boy, who represents what every great philosopher from Plato on up (or down) thinks is the Ideal, becoming the incarnation of Art and Beauty, and the artist's struggle to become one with that art. Instead, the choreographer John Neumeier, who I...
